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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear upper and lower tubular control arm kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1.500\" x 0.120\" DOM tubing construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNon-adjustable upper control arms with CNC machined 0.250\" steel mounting plates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrease-able high quality fluted polyurethane bushings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSway bar provisions reinforced with a 0.120\" wall steel sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrade 8 hardware with nylon lock nuts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew rear end housing bushings included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMIG and TIG weld construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC machined for precision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack powder coat finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect bolt-in installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePart number: ABR801-B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle Applications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\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 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 F85\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1969 Oldsmobile F85\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1970 Oldsmobile F85\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1971 Oldsmobile F85\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1972 Oldsmobile F85\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\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eWhat vehicles does the UMI Performance ABR801-B rear control arm kit fit?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt fits 1968 to 1972 GM A-Body cars, including the Chevrolet Chevelle, El Camino, and Monte Carlo, Pontiac GTO and LeMans, Oldsmobile Cutlass, 442, and F85, and Buick Skylark and Special.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eIs this kit a direct bolt-on installation?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
