Improve Your S-10 or G-Body’s Handling with a Bolt-On Control Arm Upgrade

Your S-10, Monte Carlo SS, Buick Grand National, or other G-body utilize the same front suspension configuration mounted to a perimeter frame. The factory front upper use traditional stamped steel assemblies fitted with a coil spring and a shock absorber for dampening. These pieces provided a fairly decent ride, however, today’s world is vastly different. We want our cars to handle well, fit big disc brakes, and wide sticky rubber. The stock stamped steel control arms can literally flex and fail under the cornering and braking forces applied to them, especially in a track environment. The last thing any enthusiast wants is a part failure that could potentially cause damage to their pride and joy (or worse, cause injuries). Updating your G-body or S10 with Speedway Motors’ beefy tubular control arms strengthens and enhances your car or truck’s handling.

Stamped Versus Tubular, The Benefits of Our Control Arms Are Obvious

As we stated earlier, a stamped steel control arm invites lots of sloppiness into your suspension due to flexing and twisting. While a stamping is indeed stronger than a flat sheet of metal, tubing is stronger still. So, when creating tubular suspension with steel tubing you greatly increase the rigidity of the product, eliminating that slop from twisting and flexing. What does that mean for you behind the wheel? When it comes to tubular control arms vs stock stamped arms you dive into a corner on our tubular control arms your vehicle will go where you point it to. Getting down on that brake pedal for some extreme braking? Even your brakes will perform better since your tubular control arms aren’t flexing under that hard braking input.

These are the best tubular control arms G-body and S 10 owners will find and feature a robust 1-1/4-inch tubing for the tubular upper control arms and finished in a show-quality gloss black powder coat. Wall thickness of our tubular steel control arms is .120-inch and combined with the tubing diameter these GM G body tubular control arms weigh in at 7 pounds each.

We have fitted greasable Delrin bushings and OE-spec ball joints to our tubular A arms with easy access grease fittings to make maintenance a breeze. Polyurethane bump stops are included for both upper control arm assemblies and are compatible with stock-style shock absorbers or can be used with aftermarket coilover shocks.

A Direct Bolt-In Solution That Is Easy to Install

Our tubular upper control arm bolts into place using your original control arm’s mounting hardware. If your fasteners have seen better days or went missing don’t worry, we offer G-Body upper and lower control arm hardware kit as well as an S-10 upper and lower control arm hardware kit to keep your project from grinding to a halt.

Factory style sway bar end links are compatible with our arms and can be reused if yours are in good condition. Rubber sway bar end links frequently deteriorate and new polyurethane sway bar end links are offered individually as well as a G-Body 1-1/8” sway bar kit.

What more could you ask for from a set of bolt-on Speedway Motors tubular control arms like these? Your G-body or S 10 gains increased handling, performance bushings with minimal deflection, and more, all at a fraction of the cost of the competition.

 

LOWER CONTROL ARMS

• Fits 1982 to 1992 GM F-Body cars such as Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird

Improve Your F-Body’s Handling with a Bolt-On Control Arm Upgrade

Your 3rd Gen Camaro, Firebird, S-10, or G-body utilize similar lower control arms with the major difference being a larger bolt size for the front bushing possition on S-10's. The factory lower control arms use traditional stamped steel assemblies fitted with a inboard mounted coil spring with spindle mounted strut on the F-Body while the G-Body and S-10 use a coil spring and a shock absorber mounted to the lower control arm for dampening. These pieces provided a fairly decent ride, however, today’s world is vastly different. We want our cars to handle well, fit big disc brakes, and wide sticky rubber. The stock stamped steel control arms can literally flex and fail under the cornering and braking forces applied to them, especially in a track environment.

2" DROP SPINDLES 

More and more people are turning to the Chevy S-10 pickup chassis as a building block for their hot rod. But it seems in most applications the front sits too high and doesn't quite look right. These 2" drop spindles fit the '82-'04 Chevy S-10 and GMC S-15/Sonoma pickup two wheel drive front suspension and accept the original rotors and calipers.
