UMI 78-96 GM B-Body Trailing Arm Kit - Red

When you're looking to firm up the rear suspension on your classic GM B-Body, especially for performance driving or towing, replacing the stock trailing arms is a smart move. This kit from UMI Performance is built to handle the demands of a more spirited ride, offering improved control and stability for your 1978-1996 Buick LeSabre, Chevrolet Caprice, or Pontiac Bonneville, among other GM B-Body models. These arms are designed to reduce flex and deflection that can occur with the original equipment, leading to a more connected feel between the chassis and the road.

UMI builds these trailing arms from strong, DOM (Drawn Over Mandrel) steel tubing, a well-regarded material for its consistent wall thickness and durability, which is crucial for suspension components that endure constant stress. They feature greaseable, high-durometer polyurethane bushings that are designed to provide a solid connection without excessive harshness. The bushings are pressed into the arms, and the kit includes all necessary hardware for installation, making it a comprehensive upgrade. The red powdercoat finish not only looks sharp but also adds a layer of protection against corrosion, helping your suspension components stand up to the elements.

This kit is a significant upgrade for anyone looking to improve their GM B-Body's rear-end performance. By reducing unwanted movement in the suspension, you'll notice more precise handling, especially during cornering and acceleration. It's a popular choice for those restoring or modifying these iconic vehicles for street use, autocross, or even drag racing applications where a solid rear suspension is key.
