STEERING STABILITY ENHANCEMENT FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS
DESIGNED TO IMPROVE THE STEERING AND STABILITY ON ALL YEAR HONDA ELEMENTS 2003-2011 FOR EX/DX/LX AND ALSO AVAILABLE FOR SC
ONE OF OUR GOALS AT CLASSIC AUTOMOTIVE IS TO BRING INNOVATION TO THE ELEMENT MARKET. TO BE CLEAR, WE NOT COMPETING WITH OTHER SIMILAR PRODUCTS ON THE MARKET. WE CONSIDER THIS PART TO BE AN “AND” PART.
SO WHAT EXACTLY DO SSE FRONT LOWER CONTROL ARMS DO, AND HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT?
From the factory, Honda Elements are equipped with rubber bushings in the front lower control arms. While this provides a smooth ride and absorbs much of the vibration that is present in the subframe and suspension, it also hinders the maximum performance of steering and braking.
Our new SSE (Steering Stability Enhancement) front lower control arms effectively eliminate issues like sloppy steering, alignment changes under hard driving, and uneven steering pull under braking and acceleration. The increased caster (3 total degrees) on the SSE LCA’s provides a smooth, quiet feel to the steering while increasing feedback. Essentially, when in a hard turn the steering will feel heavier and more controllable and when in a straight line your Element will track straighter down the highway. Overall feedback and stability are positively improved. SSE front LCA’s work great on lifted, lowered, or stock ride height Elements. Road tested for thousands of miles of abuse to prove quality and durability.
