BMR Suspension Upper Control Arms: On-Car Adjustable Rod Ends for Classic GM A-Bodies
If you’re looking to amp up the performance of your classic ride, the BMR Suspension Upper Control Arms are just what you need! Designed specifically for the 1968-1972 GM A-Body models, including the Buick Skylark, Chevrolet Malibu, Oldsmobile 442, and Pontiac GTO, these adjustable upper control arms will help you launch harder, reduce wheel hop, and enhance cornering consistency.
Why Choose BMR Suspension?
The stock control arms on your classic vehicle are often made from stamped steel and feature soft rubber bushings. This design can lead to deflection under load, which absorbs power instead of transferring it to your tires. BMR’s UTCA047 addresses this issue head-on.
