1978-88 GM Lower Rear Control Arms and Spherical Bushings

Control Arms (2) 

These heavy duty rear control arms are much stronger than stock stamped arms and help control wheel hop.

• Much stronger than stock stamped arms
• 19-1/2" center to center
• No provision for factory style sway bar on lower arms
• Lower Arms: 19-1/2"
• Sold as a pair

Note: Measurements are center to center of the bushings.

Bushing installation note:  The bushing eyelets have a stepped inside diameter.  This requires the bushings to be installed into one specific side of the arm which has the larger inside diameter as compared to it's opposite side.  The bushing will not properly fit if it is started into the smaller, incorrect side of the bushing eye ring. 

 

Bushings (4)

These steel rear control arm bushings have spherical bearings in them, just like a rod end, which frees up suspension movements and eliminates binding.

• Improves handling and responsiveness
• Versatile use for many applications
• Improves movement and reduces binding in suspension system
• Not IMCA legal in Stock Car/ Hobbystock classes
• Grease/lube the same way you would any spherical rod end
• Sold as a pair

This unit includes black rubber inserts for both sides to make the unit appear more "stock appearing." Please note that they can be removed to clean and disassemble and re-assemble the spherical bushing as needed.
