Alta V2 Adjustable Control Arms

Adjustable rear control arms are a must have for lowered MINI’s. Without fixing the camber related problems of lowering a car, you'll be wearing out the insides of your rear tires prematurely. MINI's come with fixed length control arms. One controls Caster/toe (upper arm), the other controls Camber (lower arm). You can see them by standing behind the rear wheel and looking for 2 long bars that look like stamped metal welded together that connect the hub assembly to the subchassis. These factory control arms have flimsy rubber bushings pressed in both ends. While an acceptable choice for the street they are not ideal for performance minded driving or for any car that has been lowered. The Alta adjustable rear control arms allow you to fix the problems associated with lowering a MINI or give you more control over camber settings.

Since the MINI's have more or less fixed positioned Camber and Caster, an alignment shop may NOT be able to adjust the factory settings, as they are non-adjustable (until 2005 when MINI added some adjustability). You will need to replace the factory lower control arms if you want to adjust Camber. Most MINI drivers are usually happy with adjustable LOWER (same physical part as the upper arms) control arms on the rear for adjusting camber.

The Alta Mini Adjustable Control Arms feature continuous steel tubes threaded directly to accept heim joint ends, eliminating unnecessary and messy welding while further increasing strength. Built into each rod is a 22mm flat notch for easy adjustment. You never need to worry about marring the finish with a set of vice grips or pliers. Simply loosen jam nuts on the ends and apply a standard wrench and spin the arm for accurate camber settings.

Threaded into both ends are aircraft quality, Teflon lined, heim joint rod ends. The Teflon lining prevents road vibration from being transferred through the joint as well as constantly cleaning the bearing surface.

Control arm kit includes: (2) Hardened precision steel arms powder coated the signature Alta Mini RED, (4) Heim joints, (8) Spacers, Instructions, and stickers.
