UMI Performance 78-96 GM B-Body Lower Control Arm Relocation Brackets

If you're looking to get more grip out of your 1978-1996 GM B-Body, like a Chevrolet Caprice or Buick LeSabre, these lower control arm relocation brackets from UMI Performance are a solid option. They're designed to change the mounting point of your rear lower control arms, which helps improve traction and reduce wheel hop, especially if your car is lowered. By adjusting the angle of the control arm, more force can be applied to the rear tires, giving you a noticeable increase in grip off the line.

These brackets offer two different settings, allowing you to lower the rear control arm mount by either 2 or 3 inches, depending on your vehicle's ride height and your goals. They're made to work with both factory and most aftermarket control arms, so you don't necessarily need to buy new arms to see the benefits. For lowered vehicles, these are pretty much a must-have to correct the suspension geometry that gets thrown off when you lower the car, preventing that frustrating wheel hop and loss of traction. Even on a factory-height vehicle, they can help plant the rear tires harder for better acceleration.

Keep in mind that these brackets are a weld-in installation, and they come bare metal, so you'll want to paint or coat them after welding to prevent rust. The installation typically takes a couple of hours. Also, if you plan on keeping a factory-style rear sway bar, you'll need to pair these brackets with specific UMI lower control arms (like item #3611, 3612, 3613, or 3614) to ensure proper fitment.
