Hotchkis 70-81 Camaro/Firebird Tubular Lower A-Arms

If you're looking to seriously improve the handling and control of your 1970-1981 Camaro or Firebird, these tubular lower A-arms from Hotchkis are a solid choice. They're designed to correct your suspension geometry, which is key to getting better stability and traction, especially when you're pushing the car a bit harder. This isn't just about looks; it's about making your classic muscle car handle more like a modern performance machine.

What makes these arms stand out is the repositioned ball joint. This change allows for increased caster and an improved camber curve. What that means for you is a more planted feel in corners and better grip when you're accelerating or braking. The arms are built from 1.5-inch tubular steel and are 100% TIG-welded for strength, with a CNC machined inset spring cup that adds structural rigidity. They also come with precision aluminum shims, letting you adjust the ride height by about a quarter to a half inch, so you can dial in the look and performance you want, no matter what engine or transmission combo you're running. The Delrin bushings are designed for smooth operation with minimal deflection, ensuring your suspension moves freely.

These A-arms come fully assembled and ready to bolt on, complete with lower ball joints, bump stops, ride height shims, polyurethane coil spring locators, and the Delrin bushings. They're finished in a gloss black powder coat to look good and resist corrosion. For the best results, Hotchkis recommends pairing these with their geometry-corrected tubular upper A-arms (part number 1106) to achieve maximum caster and camber adjustments. This is a comprehensive upgrade for anyone serious about performance driving.
