What is Arm Sweep?
Arm Sweep describes the backwards angle (from the inner hinge pin) of the front suspension arms. Arm Sweep is adjusted by angling the lower inner hinge pins inward or outward slightly (when viewed from above).
The result is the front of your lower inner hinge pins angling either in or out, thus changing the angle of the front suspension arms.
