Improve braking stability and steering accuracy by installing the Suspension Secrets Solid Front Control Arm Bush for the Toyota Supra MK5 A90. 

The standard front control arm bushes are made soft rubber with an oil filled liner. When driving fast, these oil filled bushes flex substantially leading to changes in front geometry and an overall vague feeling to the steering on the car. Under heavy braking both of these bushes compress substantially leading to a sensation that the chassis has a delay when coming to a stop. The geometry is also affected under heavy braking, causing the steering to move side to side and lose grip from the front axle. 

To solve both of these problems, solid front control arm bushes are required. Our solid bushes are designed as press-fit replacement for the OEM control arm bushes. As our bushes are solid, they eliminate all of the issues caused by the soft rubber bushes. Instead you gain improved braking stability and steering accuracy at the limit.

Our bushes have been designed to use bearings that offer a very minimal increase in NVH, leading to an upgrade that is perfect for both the road and the track as they provide a very large performance gain for a very small offset in NVH increase. 

The key benefits of our Suspension Secrets Solid Front Control Arm Bush for the A90 Toyota Supra MK5 are:

  • Increased braking stability
  • Improved steering feel and accuracy
  • Reduced understeer
  • Increased sense of connection to the road
Suspension Secrets' products are designed and manufactured in the UK. Our products are made from billet aircraft-grade 6082 T6 aluminium and corrosion-resistant 316 stainless steel. Our solid control arm bushes use Lemforder bearings for maximum performance and longevity.

    Further Reading

    As standard, the OEM rubber bushes used by Toyota are quite soft. They are built for refinement, flexibility and durability. Rubber bushes are quiet and are ideal for a car that is designed to be used frequently. 

    Unfortunately, when used in a performance application, rubber bushes have quite a few downsides. When braking hard, the OE rubber bushes flex. They flex so much that the wheel assembly moves rearwards as the car brakes. This causes unwanted toe geometry change which causes the car to feel very nervous and vague when braking.

    The flex in rubber bushes also causes understeer and the steering wheel to feel very inaccurate during cornering.

    Toe

    Toe is the angle between each wheel with relation to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. The animation below illustrates to toe-in, toe-out and zero toe.

    There are three types of toe: toe-in, toe-out and zero toe. Each toe setting has a separate purpose and an impact upon directional stability when used on a car. Toe has an effect on three major areas which are: corner entry handling, tyre wear and straight line stability.



    Toe-In
    On the front axle of a car toe-in creates straight-line stability, albeit at the expense of some initial reluctance from the car at during the corner turn-in phase. Toe-in on the rear axle again improves straight-line stability, but also induces a slight amount of slip angle which helps when putting power to the ground.

    Toe-in is more common for fast road use.


    Toe-Out
    On the front axle of a car toe-out creates instability in a straight-line. At speed, when a wheel with toe-out is turned, the wheel is pulled rearwards which increases the toe-out angle, pulling the wheel even more outwards. This can even pull the car into yaw. Front axle toe-out can make a car twitchy and unpredictable at high speeds.

    Toe-out does improve turn-in into corners, and the responsiveness of the front end.

    Toe-out on the rear axle can create a slip angle which allows for more traction and acceleration, but with a rear-wheel drive chassis it can also lead to unwanted levels of oversteer.


    Front-axle toe-out is more commonly used for track day or racing applications.

    Zero Toe
    Running zero toe on either the front or rear axles results in minimum tyre wear and power loss. This is because running any level of toe, no matter how small, causes the tyre to scrub in a straight line due to the incurred slip angle, which reduces the rolling efficiency of the tyre.

    Zero toe does not improve handling or feedback, nor does it create slip angle - all of which are desirable in performance driving - and as a result either toe-in or toe-out are more commonly chosen depending on use.
