Burton Power is now offering these adjustable in-situ track control arms for competition use on Ford Escort Mk1 & Mk2 models and the Capri Mk1, 2 and 3.

The original inner bush in the track control arm is replaced with spherical joints, thus providing precise camber adjustment. This can be achieved without removal from the car making them quick and easy for adjusting in the pits to suit the particular track layout and conditions.

The track control arms are supplied as a paired kit complete with more substantial 1/2” bolts and side spacers. The larger bolts will require the crossmember mounting hole to be drilled out to 1/2″ diameter.
