Strong tubular control arm construction with durable gloss black powder coat protection. Control arms feature greaseable Delrin bushings and OEM-style ball joints preinstalled. Control arms work with included coilover shocks using provided reinforcement plate. Polyurethane bump stops are included for both upper and lower control arms. Utilizes OEM sway bar end links and ball joints for easy servicing. Upper control arms feature 4-degrees of positive caster via caster key inserts. Cadmium plated forged cross shaft for strength with grease fittings. Also fits 1967-1969 Pontiac Firebird and 1968-1974 Chevy Nova. Lower control arm design requires disc brakes; drum backing plate interferes. QA1 single adjustable coilovers feature 18 valving options at the twist of a knob. 10-inch long 450 lb/in springs with silver powder coating included. 1.25-inch solid steel front sway bar is a direct replacement for the stock bar. Kit includes sway bar and control arm mounting hardware and alignment shims. Improve Your Camaro or Nova’s Handling with a Bolt-On Front Suspension Upgrade Your first gen Camaro/Firebird and third/fourth 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 factory compliant ride 50 plus years ago on bias-ply tires. However, today’s world is vastly different. We want our muscle cars to handle, 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 and using modern performance rubber. 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, coilover shocks, and larger diameter front sway bar strengthens and enhances your muscle car’s ride while providing an adjustable front ride height. 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 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 Speedway 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 1-5/8-inch diameter tubing for the lower arms and 1-1/8-inch tubing for the uppers, both finished in a show-quality gloss black powder coat. Wall thickness of our tubular steel control arms is .156-inch on the lowers and .125-inch on the uppers. Due to the thickness and material diameters these control arms do weigh more than the stock stamped control arms, but the small trade off in unsprung weight for the vast increase in strength makes it worth the small weight penalty. Due to the design of our tubular lower control arms, we highly recommend upgrading to disc brakes, as the drum brake backing plate interferes with the lower control arm and will require major surgery to retain your factory drum brakes up front. We have fitted greaseable Delrin bushings and OE-spec ball joints to our tubular A arms with easy access grease fittings to make maintenance a breeze
