1970-81 Camaro Upper and Lower Tubular Control Arms, Black, Set

Strong tubular construction with durable gloss black powder coat protection. Control arms feature maintenance free self-lubricating non-squeak bushings. OEM-style ball joints come preinstalled and feature screw in grease fittings. Retains factory ride height (use lowering springs or coilovers to lower ride height) Control arms can be used with stock springs or with coilover kits. Polyurethane bump stops are included for both upper and lower control arms. Utilizes OE-style sway bar end link mounting bracket for stock or aftermarket bars. Upper control arms feature 5-degrees of positive caster for improved handling. Upper control arms feature chromoly cross shafts for strength. Lower control arms provide increased ground clearance versus stock stamped arms. Direct bolt-in solution, just reuse your factory control arm mounting hardware. Replacement installation hardware available: upper # 185-2601, 70-74 upper/lower 185-2602, 75-81 upper/lower 185-2603. Also fits 73-77 Malibu (A body), 75-79 Nova (X body), and 77-96 Impala (B body) Note: 1970-1974 Camaro and Firebird stock application use ½” standard lower a-arm hardware while 1975-1981 stock application use 14mm metric lower a-arm hardware. The lower arms in this kit utilize 1/2" i/d lower bushings thus requiring the 1970-1974 bolt application when used with a 1975-1981 chassis application.   We suggest checking your vehicles current hardware size before ordering to confirm. Upper a-arm hardware # 185-2601 is the same size for 1970-1981. Tech Tip: P/N 185-2602 includes ½” lower a-arm bolts (to use with these lower arms) while P/N 185-2603 will include 14mm lower arm bolts. Improve Your Camaro or Nova’s Handling and Looks with a Bolt-On Control Arm Upgrade Your second gen Camaro/Firebird and fifth gen Nova utilize the same bolt-in front subframe assembly. This production piece uses traditional stamped steel upper and lower control arms fitted with a coil spring and a shock absorber for dampening. These pieces provided a fairly decent ride 40 plus years ago on skinny radial tires. However, today’s world is vastly different. We want our muscle cars to handle, fit big disc brakes, and wide sticky rubber. These stock stamped steel control arms can literally flex and fail under the cornering and braking forces applied to them, especially in a track environment. The last thing any enthusiast wants is a part failure that could potentially cause damage to their pride and joy (or worse, cause injuries). Updating your GM pony car with Speedway Motors’ beefy Camaro tubular control arms strengthens and enhances your muscle car’s ride. Tubular Control Arms Resist Flex and Twisting, Improving Handling and Braking over Stamped Control Arms As we stated earlier, a stamped steel control arm invites lots of sloppiness into your suspension due to flexing and twisting. While a stamping is indeed stronger than a flat sheet of metal, tubing is stronger still. So, when creating control arms from steel tubing you greatly increase the rigidity of the product, eliminating that slop from twisting and flexing. What does that mean for you behind the wheel? When it comes to tubular control arms vs stock you dive into a corner on our tubular control arms your vehicle will go where you point it to. Getting down on that brake pedal for some extreme braking? Even your brakes will perform better since your control arms aren’t flexing under that hard braking input. These are the best tubular control arms Camaro and Nova owners will find and feature a robust 1-1/4-inch diameter DOM steel tubing for both the upper control arms and the lower control arms. The tubular control arms are finished in a show-quality gloss black powder coat. Wall thickness of our tubular steel control arms is .120-inch on both the upper and lower control arms. Due to the thickness and material diameters these control arms are of similar weight to the stock stamped steel arms yet are significantly stronger
