Can-Am Defender Rear Control Arm Link Bar Kit by High Lifter

Want to stop destroying your control arms? If so, this product is for YOU.

Here at High Lifter, we show our test vehicles no mercy as we plow through some of the deepest, peanut butter-like mud holes, over rocky mountain passes, and pound out new trails through dense woods. In doing so, we quickly discovered that even the strongest control arm can fall victim to a bend or break that may occur if your ATV or UTV wheels take too hard of a front impact. By design, a control arm or a-arm's strength is greatest against lateral (left to right) force, and weakest against longitudinal forces (front and rear).

Therefore, many control arms are bent or broken when the wheel(s) strikes something that causes an abrupt decrease/stop to your forward momentum. This could be a log, a rock, descending from a jump or fall, or even from being winched out of thick mud. A bent or broken control arm has ruined many fun planned weekend rides and vacations. By installing the High Lifter Control Arm Link Kit, you have now increased your protection against those front impacts and potentially saved yourself from a ruined weekend trip and/or a costly repair.

For this new link to function with the control arms without causing binding or other negative effects in suspension travel, the link must pivot on the same axis as the control arm. At High Lifter, we take the time to precisely calculate the appropriate pivot axis for each application to maximize performance and strength of our control arm links. It's the perfect addition to our heavy-duty control arm kits to build an incredibly durable suspension system. Our team of engineers and fabricators have developed and patented the first full length adjustable control arm link which boasts 10 inches of adjustability to fit nearly every application. Choose superior engineering and design for your build by choosing High Lifter.
