Rear Upper StrongArm 65-66 Impala.

The RideTech Rear Upper StrongArm for 1965–66 Chevrolet Impala is a tubular control arm engineered for GM B-Body suspension geometry. This upper control arm assembly replaces the factory component and restores precise wheel alignment geometry critical for handling stability and tire wear consistency on air or coil spring suspension systems.

Constructed from steel with aluminum bushings and plastic isolators, the arm delivers a 7.62 lb weight footprint while maintaining structural rigidity under suspension articulation. The black powder-coat finish resists corrosion and oxidation, essential for long-term durability in varied climates. The tubular design reduces unsprung mass compared to solid forged alternatives, which translates to improved suspension response and compliance over road imperfections. Bushing selection in RideTech control arms balances compliance and bushing noise reduction—aluminum and plastic compound bushings absorb vibration transmission to the chassis while maintaining predictable bind-free geometry throughout suspension travel.

This component is purpose-built for Chevrolet B-Body restorations and modern suspension conversions on 1965–66 Impala models, including Super Sport variants. Whether pursuing OEM-correct geometry, upgrading factory suspension to coil-over or air-suspension setups, or addressing worn stock components affecting alignment, the RideTech Rear Upper StrongArm provides dimensional accuracy and material consistency verified against factory specifications. Installation requires basic suspension work and proper corner-weight balancing after fitment to validate alignment targets.

RideTech is recognized in the classic and late-model automotive suspension market for control-arm design that prioritizes geometric accuracy and material durability. Each arm is sold individually, allowing targeted replacement of worn components or complete upper-control-arm set installation when both sides require service.
