Control arm upgrade needed? Ideas?

bxtaskforce1 · Mar 7, 2018

Hey everyone!
Have a 2014 kia Optima LX 2.4 Liter (New Engine Replaced). Originally came with 15 inch wheels. Upgraded to OEM 18 inch Chrome 245-45-18 rims. Noticed that my control arms are aluminum with built in lower ball joint. I checked specs for a 2014 KIA SX. They use all metal with a changeable lower ball joint. Should e exchange the control arms to all metal or leave as is?

Thank you Team!

Are you referring to the rear toe control arms by chance?

If so, we do sell the beefier upgraded version on our site below:

The control arm on an LX/EX trim is stamped steel.

I would keep the aluminum control arms as switching to stamped steel see no benifits.
