Product Description

SPC 97130 adjustable upper control arms are for classic GM owners who need more alignment range than the factory arms can provide. They let you dial in both camber and caster at the front end, which is especially useful after changing ride height, installing wider wheels and tires, or setting up a street car for better turn-in and stability.

The forged steel arms use greaseable, rebuildable ball joints with ball studs that sit 1/2 inch taller than stock. That taller stud changes the camber curve in a useful way when the suspension is working through a corner. This is a real suspension and alignment upgrade, not just a replacement arm with a different look.

Setting Up Your Classic GM Front End

These arms give the alignment shop room to set the car up around the way it is actually driven. More positive caster can help the car track better and return the steering wheel more naturally. Camber adjustment helps get the tire contact patch where it needs to be after a ride-height change or wheel upgrade.

Plan on getting a professional alignment after installation. If you are building a Pro Touring car or have already changed springs, ride height, spindles, or lower control arms, tell the alignment shop exactly what parts are on the car before they set the numbers.
