1968-1972 A-Body Billet Aluminum Front Upper Control Arms - GP-X

Upgrade Your Chevelle, GTO, Skylark, or Cutlass With Our Billet Aluminum A-Body Upper Control Arms – GP-X Series

If you're building a serious pro touring or time attack A-body—like a Chevelle, GTO, Cutlass, or Skylark—you already know the factory suspension geometry is holding you back. Our GP-X Series billet upper control arms are designed to eliminate those limitations and elevate your front-end performance to an elite level. Crafted from CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum, these arms combine aerospace-grade precision with functional adjustability to deliver sharper handling, superior grip, and the ability to dial in your suspension exactly how you want it.

Elite Geometry. Infinite Adjustability.

The GP-X billet upper control arms dramatically improve front suspension geometry by increasing positive caster, enhancing camber gain, and elevating front roll center height. The result: quicker turn-in, higher cornering grip, and enhanced stability during hard braking and transitions.

Each arm features:

• CNC-Machined 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum Construction – Lightweight, rigid, and corrosion resistant

• Built-In Arm Length Adjustability – Fine-tune your alignment and geometry without shims
  

• Rod End Outer Pivots – Provide low-friction movement and zero-deflection articulation under load

Quick-Set Caster Adjustment – Zero Shims Required

Our Quick-Set cross shaft system uses indexed slugs to adjust caster quickly and accurately—without disturbing camber or requiring a stack of shims. It’s the fast, clean, and repeatable way to tune front-end behavior for the street or track.

Choose the Right Ball Joints for Your Application

GP-X upper control arms are compatible with either Proforged or Howe ball joints to match your intended use:

• Proforged – Best for high-end street builds and spirited driving

• Howe – Ideal for autocross, track days, and full competition setups

You can also choose from multiple ball joint heights for proper geometry correction:

• Stock Height – Use with tall spindles like our GP-X AFX Drop Spindle

• +.5" or +.9" Tall – Improve camber gain and roll center with factory spindles
