This alloy front adjustable upper arm is an aftermarket replacement part produced for TRAXXAS SLASH 4X4 owners who require a direct-fit aluminium option for the front suspension. Supplied as a matched pair, the SLA054 focuses on durable alloy construction and a single adjustment point to influence camber and roll-centre settings without modifying other suspension items.
Installation retains the factory hinge-pin and ball-stud locations for a straightforward swap with the stock plastic arms, allowing reuse of existing hardware in most cases. For increased durability or geometry changes, consider upgrading pins or ball studs to maintain alignment and load paths. Trimming to adjacent linkages is uncommon with standard Slash 4X4 setups.
From a setup perspective, the alloy arm reduces flex at the mounting point to deliver more consistent camber and toe behaviour under load, aiding repeatable adjustments for steering and tyre management. Make incremental changes and validate performance across representative runs.
As a direct aftermarket replacement, the SLA054 front upper arm provides a metal alternative to the stock plastic parts, intended to give a stiffer mounting point and predictable adjustment range for front-end setup work on the SLASH 4X4.
