Nova Lower Control Arm LH

The Nova Lower Control Arm LH from Hepfner Racing Products is a driver-side lower control arm engineered for 1978–1988 GM G-Body vehicles. Built with weld-on ball joints and constructed from steel, this component delivers the structural integrity and precision fitment required for suspension systems handling both street and performance applications. This is an OEM Nova-style replacement arm designed for operators and builders who demand factory-original geometry and robust materials.

Weighing 10.57 lbs and dimensioned at 15.45 x 5.65 x 20.35 inches, the control arm is sized for direct fitment on compatible G-Body platforms. The weld-on ball joint design means permanent installation; this is the right choice for builders committing to a long-term suspension setup rather than seeking adjustable or temporarily installed alternatives. Steel construction resists deflection under load and provides the kind of durability expected in high-stress suspension work. Finished in natural (unpainted) steel, the arm is ready for powder coating, plating, or integration into a custom build where aesthetics are controlled by the builder.

This lower control arm is purpose-built for 1978–1988 Chevrolet G-Body restorations, custom street rods, and performance suspension upgrades. Whether rebuilding a Malibu, Monte Carlo, or A-body platform, the left-hand fitment makes this a critical piece of proper suspension geometry. OEM-style arms maintain the original suspension angles and ride characteristics, making them the baseline choice before considering performance-tuned alternatives. Builders and restorers familiar with Nova-platform geometry will recognize this as a direct-fit solution that eliminates guesswork on suspension dimensions.
