About this item
Product details
Fits 1982 to 2004 S-10 two wheel drive trucks as well as 1978 to 1988 GM G-Body cars. Kit includes a right and left upper control arm ready for installation. Improoves header clearance compared to the stock stamped upper control arms. Strong tubular construction with durable gloss black powder coat protection. Control arms feature OEM-style ball joints preinstalled. Stock ride height is retained and can be used with stock springs, drop springs or with coilover kits. Polyurethane bump stops are included for both upper control arms. Tubular upper control arms feature additional positive caster for improved handling. Billet steel cross shaft for maximum strength to resist deflection. Work well along with stock spindles as well as drop spindles. Compatible with stock disc brakes and aftermarket disc brake upgrades. Improve Your S-10 or G-Body’s Handling with a Bolt-On Control Arm Upgrade Your S-10, Monte Carlo SS, Buick Grand National, or other G-body utilize the same front suspension configuration mounted to a perimeter frame. The factory front upper use traditional stamped steel assemblies fitted with a coil spring and a shock absorber for dampening. These pieces provided a fairly decent ride, however, today’s world is vastly different. We want our cars to handle well, fit big disc brakes, and wide sticky rubber. The 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 G-body or S10 with Speedway Motors’ beefy tubular control arms strengthens and enhances your car or truck’s handling. Stamped Versus Tubular, The Benefits of Our Control Arms Are Obvious 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 tubular suspension with 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 stamped arms 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 tubular control arms aren’t flexing under that hard braking input. These are the best tubular control arms G-body and S 10 owners will find and feature a robust 1-1/4-inch tubing for the tubular upper control arms and finished in a show-quality gloss black powder coat. Wall thickness of our tubular steel control arms is .120-inch and combined with the tubing diameter these GM G body tubular control arms weigh in at 7 pounds each. A Direct Bolt-In Solution That Is Easy to Install Our tubular upper control arm bolts into place using your original control arm’s mounting hardware. If your fasteners have seen better days or went missing don’t worry, we offer G-Body upper and lower control arm hardware kit as well as an S-10 upper and lower control arm hardware kit to keep your project from grinding to a halt. Factory style sway bar end links are compatible with our arms and can be reused if yours are in good condition. Rubber sway bar end links frequently deteriorate and new polyurethane sway bar end links are offered individually as well as a G-Body 1-1/8” sway bar kit. What more could you ask for from a set of bolt-on Speedway Motors tubular control arms like these? Your G-body or S 10 gains increased handling, performance bushings with minimal deflection, and more, all at a fraction of the cost of the competition.
