QUESTION
Hi, I am the owner of a 2002 Lotus Esprit.
Do you have a rear lower control arm with a heim joint or is this not necessary with your upper control arm ?
I have the poly replacement bushings from Lotus but I wanted to fix the binding issues at the same time when apart.

ANSWER
It is possible to supply you with lower rear control arms fitted with spherical bearings if required.
This would have several benefits including maintaining suspension geometry and prevent the bushing from twisting and binding up.
It would also allow the lower arm length to be adjustable.
If you are looking at this from the point of view making the camber adjustable, then a better solution is to have the upper control arm adjustable.
For more information regarding adjustable rear control arms for Lotus Esprit, see the relevant product data-sheet here.
In normal road going Esprit's, it is not necessary to have both control arms adjustable.
Poly-urethane bushes are a step in the right direction away from the original rubber components.
