Skyjacker Radius Arm
Radius arm is also known as radius rod and torque arm. It is a suspension link that is commonly used on beam axles intended to provide extra structural support and mechanical control over the forward and backward movement of the axle. It allows up to 30% better articulation of the wheels. On the other hand, it improves the turning radius of the front wheels while allowing better tire clearance. Forward and backward movement of the axles is especially severe in raised vehicles. The change in angle and orientation of the suspension components can be corrected by replacing the original radius arm of your raised vehicle with a skyjacker radius arm. Skyjacker radius arm is a reliable aftermarket product that can be purchased as replacement for the original radius arm of a vehicle. It can be used to customize the suspension system of a raised vehicle. A rubber or solid bushing connects one end to the axle and the other end to the chassis of the vehicle. It can typically be mounted ahead of the wheel where it has the advantage of resisting dive when braking and counteracting wheel hop when accelerating. Generally, radius arms are constructed out of stamped steel or aluminum to minimize total weight. Technology advancements made it possible for composite materials to be use in constructing radius arms but this is still uncommon. Although other suspension components such as longitudinal leaf springs can act as radius arms in certain situations, the radius arm itself is still an indispensable suspension component. Controlling the longitudinal motion of the axle of your vehicle is very important in assuring safety and optimizing mechanical output. The radius arm is one of the components that assure this. Our website offers a wide array of options for different suspension components, including the radius arm. We guarantee the quality of the products and efficiency of the service that we offer.
