What is the main benefit of upgrading to these control arms?

These control arms replace the stock stamped steel arms with stronger DOM steel tubing and polyurethane bushings. This setup significantly reduces flex and deflection under load, leading to improved power transfer to the tires, reduced wheel hop, and more consistent handling.

Are the polyurethane bushings noisy?

BMR's polyurethane bushings are designed with internal flutes that keep grease in place, ensuring proper lubrication of the thrust surface. This design helps to maintain quiet operation and prevent squeaks or rattles, even under heavy load.

Does this kit include all the necessary hardware for installation?

This kit includes the lower control arms, upper control arms, and reinforcement braces. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for a complete list of any additional hardware or components that may be needed for proper installation.

Product Details

If you're looking to get more out of your classic 1968-1972 GM A-body, this Rear Suspension Kit from BMR Suspension is a solid option. Stock control arms with their soft rubber bushings can flex and absorb power when you're trying to put it to the ground, leading to wheel hop and inconsistent launches. This kit replaces those stock arms with well-built components designed to transfer power more effectively and improve how your car handles corners.

BMR builds this kit using heavy-duty DOM steel tubing. The lower control arms use 1.50-inch diameter, 0.120-inch wall tubing, while the upper control arms are made from 1.625-inch diameter, 0.120-inch wall tubing, giving you the strength needed for performance driving. To further stiffen the rear end and reduce frame flex, the kit includes reinforcement braces made from 1.0-inch diameter, 0.156-inch wall steel tubing. These braces tie the upper and lower control arm mounts together for added rigidity. Inside the control arms, you'll find greasable, 95-durometer polyurethane bushings. These offer a much more responsive feel than stock rubber and are designed with internal flutes to keep grease where it needs to be, ensuring quiet operation and long life.

This kit is designed for a range of applications, from street performance to drag racing and handling improvements. It fits many popular GM A-body models, including the Chevrolet Chevelle, Pontiac GTO, and Buick Skylark from 1968 through 1972. The red powder coat finish not only looks sharp but also adds a layer of protection against the elements.
