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—Chevelle, GTO, Cutlass, or Skylark—you already know the factory triangulated four-link rear suspension falls short when it comes to high-performance handling, but our GT Series rear upper control arms offer an easy fix. Designed to eliminate the articulation issues of the stock setup while improving stability, traction, and responsiveness, these arms are crafted from TIG-welded 4130 Chromoly for exceptional strength and durability. Available with low-friction rod ends that maximize articulation and minimize deflection, friction, and weight, they’re perfect for performance focused builds. Precision CNC-machined spacers ensure a perfect fit, and the durable satin black finish delivers a sleek, high-end look—giving your A-body the rear suspension performance and style it deserves.
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.
