Description:
GKTech V2 Z33 350Z, V35 4130 Chromoly Super Lock Lower Control Arms, part number Z33X-FLCA. Suits Nissan 350Z Z33, Nissan Skyline V35. Designed and engineered by GKTech in Australia, supplied in New Zealand by Stealth Ride.
The V2 GKTECH Super Lock front lower control arms simplify, improve and replace the front lower control arm and compression rods on the 350z/V35, while also supporting around 65+ degrees of steering lock. These arms are designed based off CMM data, they are CAD designed, FEA tested, have CNC machined ends and the main body is laser cut and bent from 4130 Chromoly Steel.
GKTech has replaced the dual OEM arms and made theirs one piece. By switching to a 1pc design the kinematics are altered which makes for a design that will not bind at high angle and does not cause the steering to fall onto lock, both traits of the OEM 2pc design.
Going to a one piece design also has allowed them to increase the caster angle by 2-3 degrees and this can be further increased by their front upper camber arms which have the adjustment to increase caster by up to 1 degree.
These arms are on car adjustable, at their minimum length they start at +25mm over OEM and adjust out to +50mm from OEM. These arms have been designed with the OEM knuckle in mind, meaning they will work with their bolt on steering kit which uses the OEM knuckle.
A limiting factor with the OEM LCA is the strut to knuckle position in that the brake caliper is prone to hitting the strut when on full on lock. To assist with clearance they have moved the strut mount 30mm further inward so this limiting factor is no longer prevalent.
They still use, as they do all their arms, common sized PTFE bearings throughout the arm, which can be found locally, however, they do have them on the shelf should you wish to carry spares. They also use their high misalignment rose/ heim joints to allow the arm to rotate freely. They also include dust boots to protect the rose/ heim joints and have lock stops built into the arm for those that want to dial down the fun.
Finally, the arms are E-coated (electrophoresis coating) for rust prevention.
