Details & Inspection Notes
Van Steel's Tubular Control Arms (CO-C3-FS4) replace a Corvette's stock upper and lower control arms with chromoly tubing finished in black powdercoat, running on Delrin bushings with new ball joints. The kit also adds a 1.125" front sway bar with Heim-style end links rather than selling the control arms alone.
What to check before buying
These control arms are non-adjustable, built to a fixed geometry rather than a tunable one, and Van Steel notes they work with semi-coilover setups. Installation is bolt-on with no cutting or welding required; confirm fitment against your specific Corvette model before ordering, since Van Steel builds this part specifically for Corvette applications.
What's in the kit
Besides the control arms themselves, the hardware needed to mount them is included, along with the ball joints, Delrin bushings, and the front sway bar with its end links. Nothing about this kit is left as a separate purchase once you have your basic hand tools.
Common questions
Are these adjustable? No, Van Steel builds these to a fixed, performance-oriented geometry.
Can I run these with coilovers? Yes, Van Steel lists them as semi-coilover compatible.
Does the sway bar come with end links? Yes, Heim-style end links are included with the 1.125" sway bar.

Suspension Setup & Installation Checklist
- Inspect top mounts, damper seals, bushings, and ball joints prior to fitment.
- Set initial spring preload, collar heights, and damper rebound clicks symmetrically left to right.
- Torque all suspension control arm pivot bolts while the vehicle is at resting ride height (loaded suspension).
- Perform a complete 4-wheel laser alignment once ride height has settled to ensure optimal handling and tire wear.
