DSE Tubular Lower Control Arms - Stock Spring Pocket (031204DS) - 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro / Pontiac Firebird
Sharpen the front-end response of your second-generation F-Body with the Detroit Speed 031204DS Tubular Lower Control Arms. Designed as performance replacements for the stock lower control arms on 1970-1981 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models, these arms combine rigid tubular construction with additional positive caster while retaining the factory spring-pocket location. The result is a stronger, more performance-focused foundation for enthusiasts looking to improve suspension precision without changing to a dropped spring-pocket design.
Detroit Speed builds the 031204DS control arms with a robust tubular structure reinforced by gussets and a cross brace. Greaseable Delrin bushings are installed in steel housings with crush tubes, while CNC-machined tube ends provide precise component fit. The arms are TIG welded in a fixture for accurate, repeatable geometry and finished in durable black powder coat. Lower ball joints, steering stops, and jounce bumpers are included, making these arms a comprehensive upgrade ready for installation on compatible second-generation F-Body applications.
