The UMI Performance 203336-B is a complete rear suspension upgrade kit designed for street performance enthusiasts seeking improved handling without sacrificing ride quality. This comprehensive kit includes a pair of rear lower control arms and a single adjustable panhard bar, combining UMI's innovative Roto-Joint technology with greaseable polyurethane bushings for an optimal balance of precision and comfort.
Key Features:
- Hybrid bushing design: Energy Suspension greaseable polyurethane bushings on chassis side, spherical Roto-Joints on axle side
- Constructed from DOM (Drawn Over Mandrel) mild steel tubing for exceptional strength
- Fully TIG welded construction ensures maximum durability
- Durable powder coat finish for corrosion resistance and long-lasting appearance
- Ships fully assembled and ready to install using OEM hardware
- Adjustable panhard bar allows for precise rear end centering after lowering
- Includes spanner wrench for Roto-Joint adjustment and maintenance
- 100% rebuildable Roto-Joints with replaceable delrin races
Roto-Joint Technology:
UMI's proprietary Roto-Joint design delivers 28 degrees of total unrestricted movement, eliminating suspension bind while improving traction and reducing wheel hop. Each Roto-Joint features a 4140 chromoly hard chrome-plated spherical ball rotating within a precision CNC-machined delrin race. This design provides the articulation benefits of a spherical bearing while maintaining the streetable characteristics necessary for daily driving. The delrin material offers superior wear resistance and maintains its physical properties over time, ensuring long-term performance.
Installation and Maintenance:
The polyurethane bushing ends mount to the vehicle chassis to absorb road noise and vibration before entering the passenger compartment, while the Roto-Joints attach to the rear axle housing for precise suspension movement. Both the bushings and Roto-Joints are greaseable for low-maintenance operation. The adjustable Roto-Joints allow off-car length adjustments to the panhard bar, making it easy to achieve proper rear axle positioning. As the delrin races wear over time, the included spanner wrench enables you to tighten the adjusting ring to maintain proper tension, or completely disassemble the joints for inspection, cleaning, and rebuilding.
This kit is ideal for street performance applications where you want improved handling precision and reduced suspension deflection compared to factory rubber bushings, while retaining excellent ride quality for daily driving and cruising.
