Under heavy cornering or hard launches, the factory control arm link deflects and flexes due to the weak stamped steel design. BMR designed these 2015-2022 Mustang vertical control arm links to eliminate that. These links are constructed from high-strength steel to eliminate flex as well as transfer power to the tires better. These vertical links come upgraded with polyurethane bushings to help give you an enhanced feel of the road and will last much longer than the factory rubber bushings. These vertical links are constructed to withstand extreme race conditions time after time. Polished with a fine red coating to ensure a clear finish that withstands any condition.
Polyurethane Bushings
Polyurethane bushings can handle any condition that your Mustang will go through! The high load-bearing capacity allows more torque to be withstood than rubber bushings. They don't rot like rubber bushings and you don't have to replace them as frequently as rubber ones! These bushings will last far longer than the factory ones.

The wheel size is the diameter of the wheel, in inches, not counting the tire.
Modern tires in North America have several other measurements associated with their size.
A tire designated as a "225/70R14" denotes a tire with the following dimensions: width of tread: 225 mm; ratio of tire height to width: 70 percent; rim diameter: 14".
Therefore a 185/70R14 has the same rim diameter and aspect ratio, but a smaller overall diameter and narrower tread face than the 225/70R14.
Wheel Width
Wheel Backspacing
The easiest way to measure backspace is to lay the wheel face down onto the ground so the backside of the wheel is facing up.
Take a straight edge and lay it diagonally across the inboard flange of the wheel. Take a tape measure and measure the distance from where the straight edge contacts the inboard flange to the hub mounting pad of the wheel. This measurement is the backspace.
The photo below shows three wheels with 2", 3", & 4" backspace.
Wheel Bolt Pattern
The bolt pattern or bolt circle is the diameter of an imaginary circle formed by the centers of the wheel lugs. Bolt patterns can be 4, 5, 6, or 8 lug holes. A bolt circle of 4x100 would indicate a 4 lug pattern on a circle with a diameter of 100mm.
The diagram indicates the proper measuring methods. 6 lug wheels are measured like the 4 lug wheels.
Wheel Offset
The offset, measured in millimeters, can be negative or positive, and is the distance from the hub-mounting surface to the rim's true centerline. A positive offset means the hub-mounting surface is closer to the outside edge of the wheel; a negative offset means the hub-mounting surface is closer to the inside edge of the wheel. Offset affects the scrub radius of the steering and it is advisable to stay within the limits allowed by the vehicle manufacturer. If tires are fitted which are significantly wider than those specified by the manufacturer, a compromise may have to be adopted whereby a wheel with less offset is used to prevent the tire rubbing on the suspension.
