UMI Performance 82-02 GM F-Body Single Adjustable Lower Control Arms and Panhard Bar Kit

If you're looking to dial in your 1982-2002 Camaro or Firebird's rear suspension, this adjustable lower control arm and Panhard bar kit from UMI Performance is a solid option. This kit is designed to directly replace your stock arms, helping to minimize wheel hop during hard acceleration and improve overall cornering performance. Whether you're hitting the drag strip or an autocross course, getting the rear suspension geometry just right makes a big difference in consistency and how the car handles.

UMI builds these arms using strong 1.375-inch DOM mild steel tubing with a 0.095-inch wall thickness, and the threaded adapters are made from 4130 chrome-moly steel for added strength. The kit features QA1 rod ends with a hard chrome plating and a self-lubricating Teflon/Kevlar lining, which allows for smooth operation and easy adjustments. For a quieter ride, they've incorporated Energy Suspension fluted polyurethane bushings, which are designed to be greased. The control arms themselves are TIG welded for a strong, clean finish, and they use CNC machined aluminum step bushings with zinc-plated steel sleeves.

Installation is straightforward, as these arms bolt directly into the factory mounting points, and you can reuse your original hardware. Most folks find they can get this kit installed in about 30 minutes. This kit is a well-built upgrade that can help you get more out of your F-body's suspension.
