BMR Suspension A-Arms: Upper, Non-Adjustable, Delrin, 0.5" Tall Ball Joint for G-Body 1978-1987

When it comes to suspension components, A-arms play a crucial role in how your vehicle feels on the road. They connect the front wheels to the chassis, and any flex can lead to alignment issues that negatively impact performance and driving experience. BMR Suspension's AAU462 Upper A-arms are engineered to tackle this problem head-on.

Key Features

• Improved Steering Response: Experience enhanced steering feel, whether you're driving normally or pushing your vehicle's limits.
• High-Speed Stability: The design includes two additional degrees of positive caster, which boosts stability at high speeds.
• Durable Construction: Made from heavy-duty 1.25-inch, 0.095-inch wall DOM tubing and reinforced with laser-cut, CNC-formed plate steel braces.
• Efficient Lubrication: Internally fluted bushings ensure that grease evenly coats the inner sleeve, promoting quiet and reliable operation.
• Compact Design: Provides extra header clearance, allowing for larger primary tubes in high-horsepower setups.

Benefits of BMR A-Arms

BMR's AAU462 Upper A-arms are designed for a variety of applications—street performance, drag racing, handling, and pro-touring. By combining these upper A-arms with BMR Lower A-arms, you can achieve a total of 4 additional degrees of positive caster, enhancing your vehicle's geometry and lateral grip during cornering. The revised cross shaft geometry and shorter overall length mean you’ll need less shim stack to achieve negative camber, making them perfect for lowered cars or those with aggressive alignments.
