Upgrade your vintage GM A/G-Body with the QA1 Part Number qap52522 upper control arm kit, engineered for enhanced handling and performance. Designed specifically for 1968 to 1972 models including Pontiac GTO, Oldsmobile F85, and Chevrolet El Camino, this kit offers a significant improvement in front-end geometry for autocross and road course applications. Crafted with high-strength tubing and billet aluminum cross shafts, these control arms are among the lightest available, providing superior durability without adding unnecessary weight. The robotically welded, powder-coated finish ensures a sleek appearance and corrosion resistance, making them ideal for street and performance use. The kit includes ball joints and bushings, which are designed to work seamlessly with QA1’s Ultra Low Friction Ball Joints, eliminating flex and ensuring bind-free movement for precise steering response. The adjustable, rebuildable ball joints feature longer studs that enhance camber gain, allowing for optimal tire contact during aggressive cornering. When installed as a set, these arms typically add 3-4 degrees of caster and 0.5 to 1 degree of negative camber, significantly improving handling dynamics. The bolt-in installation process simplifies upgrade procedures, making these control arms a practical choice for enthusiasts looking to correct outdated front-end geometry and improve overall vehicle stability. These control arms are made in the USA and are compatible with QA1 Pro Coil Systems, featuring double shear lower mounting for added strength. Whether for street performance or competitive racing, this kit provides a reliable, high-quality upgrade to your muscle car’s suspension system, ensuring improved cornering grip, responsiveness, and a modernized front-end feel.
