bobsaito Posted January 25, 2019 Posted January 25, 2019 Hello, I'm new to here. I have 2006 WCM ultralite S2K since 2007 and today I got front right lower A-arm ripped. Since WCM is no longer in business, I'm not sure where I can source this (and other parts in the future). Any information would be much appreciated. Regards, Bob Saito
11Budlite Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 Welcome Bob, I'm not sure where you can get replacement parts for an Ultralite, but do you have a photo of the control arm? It might be something that could be easy to repair or fabricate.
powderbrake Posted January 26, 2019 Posted January 26, 2019 A forum member is now the owner of World Class Motorsports, the Ultralite company, His forum name is WestTexasS2K . He may be able to supply you with the A arm. In 2006 it is likely that you have the Fiero spindles, later ones have Mustang spindles. There is a manual on the car, assembled by the members here, if you PM me with your email address I will send you a copy.

Foxfire S2K Posted February 14, 2019 Posted February 14, 2019 Bob, when I switched my WCM S2K to wide, sticky slicks for autocross, I stopped hard at the finish and broke one, bent the other. I had a race shop in town make me much stronger ones with larger diameter tubing, and they have worked wonderfully. That particular shop has closed so I can't give you a direct referral. Don't know where you live, the outstanding parts shop on Indy's Gasoline Alley (Earl's Indy) knows all the race shops and can give you a referral. There are many near the Indy 500 track. http://www.earlsindy.com is their url. You could then mail your 2 wishbones to that shop. Hope this works!

fastg Posted February 15, 2019 Posted February 15, 2019 Contact Jack at Kinetic, a great guy and does a very nice adjustable front control arm kit. I am not sure what spindles you use but I think Jack has some options. http://www.kineticvehicles.com/ControlArms.html Graham
