What hardware is included with these control arms?

This part number (1016-R) uses your vehicle's original hardware for installation. UMI Performance also offers a kit (part #3001) that includes new Grade 10.9 mounting hardware for a complete bolt-on solution.

Do I need to replace the differential bushings too?

These control arms replace the upper rear axle control arms. UMI Performance offers a separate kit (part #1008) specifically for replacing the upper rear differential bushings, which can also contribute to suspension bind.

What is the benefit of polyurethane bushings over rubber?

Polyurethane bushings are more rigid than stock rubber bushings. This helps to reduce flex and bind in the suspension, leading to improved traction and a more responsive feel from the rear end of your Mustang.

Product Details

When you're looking to improve the rear suspension on your 1979-2004 Ford Mustang, especially for corner carving or light motorsports, upgrading the upper control arms is a smart move. These tubular upper control arms from UMI Performance are designed to replace the factory stamped steel arms, which can flex and bind under load. By swapping to these, you'll notice a significant improvement in rear-end stability and traction, making your Mustang feel more planted on the road.

What sets these apart is their well-built construction. They're made from 1.500” x 0.120” mild steel tubing and feature precision laser-cut mounting points for accuracy. UMI uses fluted, greaseable polyurethane bushings, which offer a good balance of performance and durability compared to the stock rubber bushings that can degrade over time. The arms are TIG welded for strength and finished with a durable powder coat to resist corrosion. Installation is straightforward, as they bolt directly in place of your original arms, and they are proudly crafted in the USA.

For an even more complete rear suspension upgrade, these arms pair perfectly with UMI's adjustable lower control arms. You can also get them as a kit. UMI also offers a separate kit (part #1008) to replace the differential bushings if you want to address that area specifically.
