Tubular control arms provide more turning radius ability I believe in compare to stock but Im ending up using Stocks for now hopefully a shock relocation will not be an issue in my case. I have a 2000 and X2 is making me the rear bolt on 4link with bag setup and shocks includes the watts link as well seems like it will be a great fit to still lay out and drive and feel somewhat normal. Praying the rear BAG setup is worth it all.

Sorry I couldint help much these arms are pricey too.

Unless you are raising or lower the van.. I don't see the point.
These are Astro vans, not Ferrari's.
I can certainly think of A LOT better things to spend extra money on.
The control arms seem more than adequate

Sorry..

I would agree to a point but you compare an aftermarket RWD arm to a OEM AWD arm. :confused:
I wish it was as simple as bolting on a set of AWD arms.

Tubular control arms are mostly used for strength with reduced weight. They reduce flex and hold steering geometry better. This helps stability at highway speeds.

These arms certainly are pricey considering they are raw and still need ball joints and bushings.
