Factory stamped-steel arms suffer from bushing deflection and corrosion that contribute to traction loss and vague handling. This tubular upper and lower kit is a direct bolt-on replacement built to minimize wheel hop, improve cornering, and keep the car more consistent whether it is a weekend cruiser or a track car. The high-quality polyurethane bushings with grease fittings are a significant improvement over worn OEM rubber, adding ride control while reducing traction loss. The lower arms are supplied with sway bar mounting holes sized for the factory bar and most aftermarket bars. UMI Performance manufactures this kit in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear tubular upper and lower control arm kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt from 1.625\" OD x 0.120\" wall DOM mild steel tubing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC machined for precise tolerances\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully TIG and MIG welded construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-quality polyurethane bushings with grease fittings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with stock and most aftermarket sway bars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect bolt-on; installs in about 2 hours with OEM hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRed powder coat finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: 401516-R\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle Applications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1968 Buick Skylark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1969 Buick Skylark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1970 Buick Skylark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1971 Buick Skylark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1972 Buick Skylark\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1968 Buick Special\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1969 Buick Special\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1968 Buick Sportwagon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1969 Buick Sportwagon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1970 Buick Sportwagon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1971 Buick Sportwagon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1972 Buick Sportwagon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1968 Chevrolet Chevelle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1969 Chevrolet Chevelle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1970 Chevrolet Chevelle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1971 Chevrolet Chevelle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1972 Chevrolet Chevelle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1968 Chevrolet El Camino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1969 Chevrolet El Camino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1970 Chevrolet El Camino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1971 Chevrolet El Camino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1972 Chevrolet El Camino\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1970 Chevrolet Monte Carlo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1971 Chevrolet Monte Carlo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1968 Oldsmobile 442\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1969 Oldsmobile 442\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1970 Oldsmobile 442\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1971 Oldsmobile 442\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1968 Oldsmobile Cutlass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1969 Oldsmobile Cutlass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1971 Oldsmobile Cutlass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1968 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1969 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1970 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1971 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1972 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1969 Pontiac Grand Prix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1970 Pontiac Grand Prix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1971 Pontiac Grand Prix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1972 Pontiac Grand Prix\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1968 Pontiac GTO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1969 Pontiac GTO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1970 Pontiac GTO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1971 Pontiac GTO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1972 Pontiac GTO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1968 Pontiac LeMans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1969 Pontiac LeMans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1970 Pontiac LeMans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1971 Pontiac LeMans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1972 Pontiac LeMans\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1968 Pontiac Tempest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1969 Pontiac Tempest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1970 Pontiac Tempest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch5\u003eWhat vehicles does the 401516 control arm kit fit?\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a direct bolt-on rear upper and lower control arm kit for 1968 to 1972 GM A-Body cars, including the Chevrolet Chevelle and El Camino, Pontiac GTO, LeMans and Tempest, Oldsmobile Cutlass and 442, and Buick Skylark.
