JOES Racing Products Suspension Control Arm

JOES Racing Products Suspension Control Arms: Race-Proven Engineering

When tenths of a second separate winners from the rest of the field, the geometry of your suspension isn't just a setup detail — it's a competitive weapon. JOES Racing Products, a manufacturer with more than 35 years of experience building race-focused components, has made suspension control arms one of the cornerstones of their catalog. Their A-arms and suspension control arms are engineered from the ground up for dirt late models, micro sprints, and circle-track applications where rigidity, adjustability, and repeatability are non-negotiable.

Bearing-Style A-Arms Built for Rigidity

One of JOES's most distinctive control arm offerings is their Bearing Style A-Arm line. These arms use four bearings for smooth rotation and feature a split design that allows the arm to wrap around a frame mount without compromising structural integrity. As JOES notes, the design is more rigid than competing models that flex and introduce unwanted variables into the suspension. Arms are available with steel or aluminum cross shafts and come in straight, 10°, or 20° screw-in ball joint sleeve configurations, as well as a bolt-in ball joint option — giving builders the flexibility to match specific chassis requirements.

Slotted Upper Control Arms & Adjustment Components

For racers who need to dial in their setup quickly at the track, JOES offers Slotted/Slugged Upper Control Arms in tubular steel with a black powder-coated finish. These front upper control arms are available in multiple lengths — from 7.000 in. to 11.000 in. and beyond — so they can be matched to a wide variety of chassis configurations. The slotted design allows camber changes without fully removing the A-arm bolts, saving valuable time during a pit stop or pre-race setup session.

To complement these arms, JOES produces a full line of adjustment hardware including caster slugs (available in centered and offset configurations), A-arm shaft assemblies in bushing, slotted, and bearing styles, and A-arm spacers machined from 6061 billet aluminum — all black anodized and laser-engraved for easy identification at a glance.

Build Your Own with JOES Components

Beyond complete arms, JOES supports serious fabricators by offering the same individual A-arm components they use in their own production process. Racers can purchase tube adapters, cross shafts, HI-Misalignment cups designed to maximize upper A-arm angle range while reducing unsprung weight, and even the production welding jigs used to build JOES' TIG-welded A-arms in-house. This level of support is rare in the racing parts industry and speaks directly to JOES's reputation as a brand run by racers, for racers.

Lower Control Arms for Late Model Chassis

JOES also offers lower control arm slugs that help adjust the handling characteristics and roll center of a car, as well as dedicated left and right lower control arms designed specifically for JOES Late Model Chassis. These components are designed to work in concert with the rest of the JOES suspension ecosystem, ensuring consistent geometry across the entire front clip.

Whether you're building a new car from scratch, updating an existing setup, or looking for precision adjustment hardware, the JOES Racing Products control arm lineup offers the depth and specificity that competitive racers demand.
