Spohn Performance's front lower a-arms for the 1982-2003 S-10 two wheel drive set a new, higher standard of performance and quality. When we designed our a-arms, we had two goals in mind. One was to provide the performance capabilities needed for the toughest race tracks, the second was to provide the strength and durability required for the demands of a daily driven vehicle. We're proud to say that we have accomplished both. If you are looking for the "cheapest" a-arms, we don't have them. If you are looking for the best front suspension components for your 2WD S-10, you just found them.
Spohn front lower a-arms are a true "A" arm rather than a "V" arm. This provides maximum rigidity and equalizes forces delivered in to the k-member. Spohn front lower a-arms are gusseted in critical areas to ensure that a weld never breaks. They decrease overall weight, and more importantly - "unsprung" weight.
These a-arms are equipped with a coil over mounting platform
specifically designed for use with the QA1 Pro-Coil System. These
a-arms have no provision for mounting the stock coil spring.
If you are going to be running the QA1 Pro-Coil system, this is the
trickest set-up available!!

Del-Sphere Pivot Joints:
The Spohn Performance Del-Sphere pivot joint solves the shortcomings of the factory rubber and aftermarket polyurethane bushings. Our Del-Sphere pivot joint incorporates a spherical ball which is surrounded by delrin bushing cups.
Think of the Del-Sphere pivot joint as a Delrin bushed spherical rod end. After over a year of R&D testing here at Spohn Performance on a streetable spherical joint the Del-Sphere pivot joint is the final result. Designed and manufactured exclusively by Spohn Performance, we have taken street suspension performance to the next level. Our Del-Sphere pivot joint features a one piece forged and heat treated chrome moly housing, a heat treated and chrome plated chrome moly spherical ball, Delrin bushing cups, heat treated retainer washer and snap ring, heat treated and chrome plated chrome moly threaded adjuster ring, an external grease fitting and a beautiful silver zinc plated housing finish.
The Delrin bushing cups absorb shock
and road noise so you get the quiet and smooth ride of a bushing as
well as 28 degrees of rotation! Our Del-Sphere pivot joints will always
ship to you fully assembled, however, we also offer an optional
adjusting tool that will allow you to do two things. First, you can
disassemble the Del-Sphere pivot joint for cleaning, inspection, etc.
Second, you can adjust the amount of friction on the spherical ball. Do
you want a very low friction pivot joint or a very tight pivot joint?
It's up to you, the amount of tension can be easily adjusted by using
our optional adjustment tool
to tighten or loosen the end retainer ring. What that also means is if
over time and miles the tolerances open up you can simply re-adjust the
retainer ring and have your pivot joint as tight as it was the day it
was brand new. We doubt you'll ever need to replace the Delrin bushing
cups, but they certainly can be. Unlike a spherical rod end, the
Del-Sphere pivot joint is 100% rebuildable.
What is Delrin, and why did
you choose to use it?
Delrin is an acetal homopolymer made by DuPont. It is characterized as
having an excellent combination of physical properties that make it
suitable for numerous applications. With extremely low moisture
absorption and a low coefficient of friction (self-lubricating), Delrin
is uniquely tailored for wear applications in high humidity or moisture
environments. Delrin will maintain constant physical properties under
high moisture conditions and out-perform nylon or polyurethane under
these conditions. Delrin has a 10,000 psi tensile strength and a 120
Rockwell Hardness rating making it ideal for our Del-Sphere application.
