Ball Joints & Hardware |
| Ball Joint Tools |
| The large castellated nut that secures the ball joint to the A-arm (901-341-425-00) should be removed either with a chisel or an impact hammer due to the incredible amount of force necessary to budge it free. This will normally render the old nut useless, and require it to be replaced along with the ball joint. This nut also requires a special tool for installation since it needs to be properly torqued to a whopping 184 ft-lbs. This specially made socket uses a 1/2" drive and is the only tool for the job. |

| De-Cambered Ball Joints |
Need more camber? Elephant Racing's proprietary-design De-Cambered Ball Joints provide up to 3/4 degree additional negative camber per side. Track is widened up to 1/2 inch.
The ball joint stud is non-concentric with the housing, effectively lengthening the control arm and pushing the bottom of the strut (and tire) out resulting in added negative camber.
Construction includes a true spherical bearing monoball for low-friction, freedom of movement and zero deflection.
Fully weather-sealed, De-Cambered Ball Joints are a true bolt-in using factory ball joint hardware. |

Suspension A-Arms & Parts |
Older, possibly bent A-arms may lead to premature tire failure, or strange alignment and steering problems. Replace your damaged one with a new unit, and have your 911 be A-OK! How can you tell if your A-arms are bent? In most cases, it's a bit difficult. Accidents where the front end takes a hit are sure to place small bends on your A-arms that you probably can't feel. If you car has trouble being aligned straight, then there might be a chance that your A-arms are bent. Ask your alignment expert for an opinion, and make sure that you check the visible condition of the arms as well. Driving over large pot-holes can easily damage your arms, as well as hitting curbs. Used ones are a good buy, but you can't easily tell if they are straight unless you precisely measure them or place them on a car. New A-arms come complete with the original rubber bushings (the only way to get the factory bushings is to purchase a new A-arm)

| Low-Friction Control Arm Mounts |
911 factory control arm mounts have slotted holes that allow for self-alignment in the horizontal plane only. Any misalignment in the vertical plane results in pinching and binding at the bushing that resists free movement of the control arm. Factory mounting points (stamped sheet metal) are imprecise at best and can be substantially off due to frontal impacts, pot holes, or suspension pan replacement. If the mounts are not collinear, the control arm will bind, especially with any performance bushing compound or bearing.
Low-Friction Control Arm Mounts from Elephant Racing self-align in both the horizontal and vertical planes. The result is collinear front and rear mounts delivering smooth non-binding action. You get superior performance and a smoother ride. Factory mounts can bind - Low-friction mounts pivot freely!
Kit includes everything required to upgrade one car. Factory rear A-arm mounts are replaced with our self-aligning mounts. Factory front A-arm mounts are retained and augmented with self-aligning washers. With this kit installed, both front and rear control arm mounts self-align in both vertical and horizontal planes. They become collinear, allowing free non-binding motion of the control arm. Fits both aluminum and steel suspension cross-members.
Recommended for use in cars using any hard-compound bushing or bearing and is a must for any car that has had frontal damage or a pan replacement. Fits all 911/912/930/914 from 1968 to 1989. These are an excellent compliment to Elephant Racing's Polybronze bearings. |
