1968-1972 GM A-Body Upper Rear Control Arms - GP-R Series
Upgrade Your Chevelle, GTO, Skylark, or Cutlass With Our A-Body Rear Upper Control Arms
If you’re driving a GM A-body, including a Chevelle, GTO, Cutlass, or Skylark, you already know the factory triangulated four-link rear suspension isn’t built for high-performance handling. But don’t worry, there’s an easy fix! Our GT Series rear upper control arms eliminate the stock suspension’s articulation issues while improving stability, traction, and responsiveness.
Built for Strength, Engineered for Performance
Our A-body rear upper control arms are designed to outperform the competition. Crafted from TIG-welded 4130 Chromoly for unbeatable strength, they’re available with:
- Polyurethane Bushings – The best choice for a street use, offering an increase in stiffness from the factory rubber bushings, but not as rigid as a rod end.
- Low-friction rod ends – Ideal for track-focused builds, maximizing articulation while minimizing deflection, friction and weight.
Precision CNC-machined spacers ensure a perfect fit, while our signature satin black finish adds a sleek, high-end look. With these arms, your A-body's rear suspension gets a serious upgrade in both performance and style.
Why We Avoid Jackscrews, And Why You Should Too
Some aftermarket companies use jackscrews in their upper control arms to make pinion angle adjustments easier. But here’s the problem:
- Jackscrews add weight and reduce strength.
- Pinion angle adjustments are rare; you’ll likely set it once and forget it unless you change ride height, transmissions, or rear ends.
That’s why we prioritize strength and weight savings over unnecessary complexity.
