Introducing the new Stern Adjustable Control Arms. These adjustable length arms allow for adjustments to vehicle camber and caster settings which were previously fixed. Replacing the factory arms with adjustable ones allow correction to the vehicle alignment thereby extending tire life and improving handling. These control arms are direct replacements
and fit with no modifications necessary.

As with all Stern products, a limited lifetime warranty is offered on all hard components, and a 1yr warranty covers the bushing and ball joints.

Introductory pricing of $495/set valid until November 10.

Available online <a href="http://www.purems.com/products/product.php/II=2681">Stern Pre-Order Special</a>
or from your local <a href="http://sternproducts.com/index-3.html">Stern Dealer</a>

<b>FAQ</b>
Q. Why do I need these?
A. These arms add adjustability to camber and caster alignment settings which are otherwise fixed. Adjusting camber and caster can improve the life of tires and improve the handling of your vehicle.

Q. What cars do these fit?
A. Audi - B5A4, B6A4, B7A4, C5A6, B5S4, B6S4, B7S4, B5RS4, B7RS4, Allroad
VW - B5Passat

Q. Why are OEM bushings used?
A. We use the OEM bushings to maintain a factory-like ride and fitment, and to keep costs low. They can also be quickly changed should the need arise.

Q. Are these offered in a full upper and lower kit?
A. Yes. We offer kits for many vehicles through our website.

Default Might be cheaper to just replace your single piece wheel bearing housing/ vertical member with...

the Sport Al vertical member and shimmable bolt on wheel bearing, retaining stock CAs.

good thought, but those parts are nearly $300 apiece.

Default Makes sense to me. Those are the parts that wear, just like the stock components.

If they gave a lifetime warranty on those parts, they would lose money. And one year isn't too bad. Considering the fact that the average American drives about 15,000 miles a year, that means they are essentially offering a 15k mile warranty on joints/bushings.
