Product Details

If you're looking to get more out of your 1978-1988 GM G-Body's suspension, these tubular non-adjustable upper control arms from UMI Performance are a solid option. Stock control arms can allow for too much flex and deflection, especially as they age, which can lead to wheel hop and less precise handling. These arms are built to replace the factory units directly, offering a significant improvement in how your car puts power down and handles corners.

Constructed from 1.625" OD x 0.120" DOM mild steel tubing, these control arms are fully TIG and MIG welded for a strong, well-built assembly. They come equipped with high-quality polyurethane bushings that include grease fittings, allowing for easy maintenance and ensuring the bushings stay lubricated. This setup helps reduce bushing deflection compared to stock, which directly translates to less wheel hop and a more consistent feel during spirited driving or on the track. The powder coat finish adds durability and a clean look, while the entire assembly is designed to be a simple bolt-on installation using your vehicle's original hardware, typically taking about an hour.

These control arms are a direct replacement for a wide range of GM G-Body vehicles, including popular models like the Chevrolet Monte Carlo, Buick Regal, and Pontiac Grand Prix, among others. They are designed to enhance both street performance and track consistency.
