UMI Performance 82-02 GM F-Body Tubular Adjustable Lower Control Arms

If you're looking to improve the handling and reduce wheel hop on your 1982-2002 Chevrolet Camaro or Pontiac Firebird, these tubular adjustable lower control arms from UMI Performance are a solid option. They replace the factory stamped arms with a much stronger, tubular design that's built to handle more abuse, whether you're hitting the track, autocrossing, or just want a more responsive feel on the street.

These control arms are constructed from 1.375-inch diameter DOM mild steel tubing with a 0.095-inch wall thickness, or you can opt for the chrome moly version which uses lighter yet stronger 1.250-inch x 0.095-inch 4130 chrome moly steel. The design incorporates a 4130 chrome moly threaded tube adapter that's CNC machined and TIG welded for exceptional strength. For bind-free operation, they feature a QA1 Teflon-lined spherical rod end, which is key for maintaining consistent contact and control during aggressive driving. The arms also include high-quality polyurethane bushings with greaseable zerk fittings that bolt directly to the chassis, ensuring a quiet and comfortable ride without the harshness sometimes associated with performance suspension parts.

Installation is straightforward, as these arms are designed to bolt directly into the factory mounting points using your original hardware, typically taking about 30 minutes. This makes them an accessible upgrade for many DIYers looking to get more performance out of their F-body.
