The UMI Performance rear control arm kit for 1968 to 1972 GM A-Body vehicles includes a set of tubular rear lower and upper control arms, new rear end housing bushings, and Grade 8 mounting hardware. It installs as a direct bolt-on replacement and is designed to minimize wheel hop, improve cornering, and help track consistency. Worn stock control arms suffer from bushing deflection and weak stamped steel that add up to traction loss and poor handling. The lower control arms feature grease-able high quality polyurethane bushings and TIG welded construction with correct provisions for a stock or aftermarket sway bar, and the sway bar holes are reinforced with a 0.120 inch wall steel sleeve TIG welded into place to prevent the arm from crushing. The non-adjustable upper control arms are constructed from CNC machined 0.250 inch steel mounting plates and also use grease-able fluted polyurethane bushings. This kit is made in the USA in Pennsylvania.
