BMR Lower Control Arms TCA019 for Mustang 2005–2014 – Polyurethane / Black Hammertone

The BMR TCA019 Lower Control Arms replace the factory rear lower control arms on the Ford Mustang S197. Their heavy-duty steel construction combined with greasable polyurethane bushings reduces control-arm and bushing deflection under high loads, providing more precise rear axle control.

Particularly on high-performance and modified Mustangs, the rear control arms have to transfer considerable forces under acceleration. The factory stamped-steel arms and soft rubber bushings can deflect significantly under these loads.

Schropp experience – particularly recommended for the GT500

Over the years, we have built and modified a large number of Mustang GT500s, giving us extensive experience with the suspension components used on these vehicles. Particularly on high-powered GT500s, the rear control arms and their bushings are components we pay close attention to.

From our experience, worn or excessively compliant control-arm bushings can result in less precise rear axle location, with the vehicle becoming increasingly unsettled or imprecise during acceleration and load changes.

The BMR TCA019 is therefore one of our preferred solutions when stable and durable rear axle control is required – particularly on modified GT500s, but equally on other S197 Mustang models.

Polyurethane rather than a rigid motorsport joint

We deliberately offer the version with polyurethane bushings. Solid or rod-end designs can provide an even more direct connection, but they can also transmit significantly more noise and vibration into the vehicle body.

The greasable 95-durometer polyurethane bushings used in the TCA019 provide a good compromise: considerably less deflection than the soft factory rubber bushings without unnecessarily compromising the refinement of a predominantly road-driven Mustang with a rigid joint.

Heavy-duty steel construction

BMR manufactures the TCA019 from 1.25 × 2-inch boxed steel tubing. The assembly is TIG-welded and manufactured to the factory control-arm length, retaining the intended suspension geometry.

The increased rigidity reduces control-arm deflection during hard acceleration and cornering loads. This allows the rear axle to be located more consistently and gives the vehicle a more repeatable response to throttle and steering inputs.

Greasable polyurethane bushings

The internally fluted polyurethane bushings are greasable. Their lubrication channels distribute grease around the inner sleeve and towards the outer thrust surfaces, allowing the bushings to remain properly lubricated.
