UMI Performance Tubular Non-Adjustable Rear Upper & Lower Control Arms Kit - Red (1978-1988 GM G-Body) (301516-R) - 1978-1988 GM G-Body
Completely transform the rear suspension stability of your vehicle and eliminate traction-robbing wheel hop with the UMI Performance Tubular Non-Adjustable Rear Upper and Lower Control Arms Kit (301516-R). Engineered specifically for 1978-1988 GM G-Body platforms—including the Buick Grand National/Regal, Chevrolet Monte Carlo, El Camino, Oldsmobile Cutlass, and Pontiac Grand Prix—this complete 4-piece rear control arm package replaces weak, flex-prone factory stamped steel arms with heavy-duty tubular steel components designed for both daily street cruising and hard track launches.
Fabricated from high-strength 1.625" OD x 0.120" wall DOM mild steel tubing, UMI control arms are CNC machined for precise fitment and feature combined TIG and MIG welded construction for maximum strength. Equipped with greaseable high-performance polyurethane bushings and integrated Zerk grease fittings, this kit provides smooth, bind-free axle operation while significantly reducing suspension deflection compared to soft OEM rubber bushings. The lower control arms feature built-in sway bar mounting holes compatible with both stock OEM and aftermarket rear sway bars. Finished in a vibrant red powder coat, this direct bolt-on kit installs quickly using factory mounting hardware.
