What kind of improvements can I expect from these A-arms?

These A-arms are designed to significantly improve your Galaxie's handling and cornering. They optimize front suspension geometry by providing an improved camber curve, additional positive caster, and static negative camber, leading to better steering response and driver control.

Are these A-arms a direct bolt-on installation?

Yes, these are engineered as a bolt-on part, meaning they are designed to install directly onto your 1965-1966 Ford Galaxie without requiring major modifications.

What materials are used in the construction of these A-arms?

They are built from strong 1.25-inch DOM steel tubing and are 100% TIG welded for maximum strength. The cross shaft is made of zinc-plated, triple bronze powder-coated 4130 Chromoly, and they use smooth-riding Delrin bushings.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get more out of your classic 1965 or 1966 Ford Galaxie, especially when it comes to spirited driving, autocross, or track days, these geometry-corrected upper A-arms from Hotchkis are a solid upgrade. They're built to offer a significant improvement in handling and driver control by optimizing the front suspension geometry, something the original stock setup wasn't designed for, especially with modern performance tires.

These A-arms are designed to give you a better camber curve, more positive caster, and static negative camber. This translates to improved steering response and cornering capability. You'll see a static camber range from 1 to 3 degrees negative and caster from 3 degrees positive to 6 degrees positive. For even more caster, up to 9 degrees positive, they can be paired with Hotchkis lower control arms and strut rods. They're constructed from strong 1.25-inch DOM steel tubing and are 100% TIG welded for durability. The package includes a zinc-plated, triple bronze powder-coated 4130 Chromoly cross shaft and smooth-riding Delrin bushings, all finished in a sharp gloss black powder coat.

These are a bolt-on part, making installation straightforward without needing extensive modifications. They are proudly handcrafted in Mooresville, NC, and are ready to bolt on and help you enjoy the drive more.
