Upper StrongArms 64-72 GM A-Body

The Upper StrongArms 64-72 GM A-Body control arm pair from RideTech is engineered for drivers restoring or upgrading the front suspension geometry on classic General Motors A-Body vehicles from 1964 through 1972. These tubular aluminum upper control arms replace worn factory suspension components, restoring precise wheel alignment and handling characteristics that deteriorate over decades of road use. Whether you're building a street rod, restomod, or returning a classic muscle car to factory specifications, quality upper control arms are non-negotiable for safe, predictable steering response.

These RideTech control arms feature tubular aluminum construction paired with durable plastic bushings and steel attachment points, all finished in black powder coat for corrosion resistance. The design accommodates both air and coil spring suspension setups, making them compatible with original equipment and modern upgrades. At 22.82 lbs per pair, the lightweight aluminum construction reduces unsprung mass while maintaining the rigidity required for consistent suspension travel and proper Ackermann geometry. The tubular design increases torsional stiffness compared to stamped-steel factory arms, translating to sharper turn-in and reduced body roll during cornering.

Suspension specialists and classic car enthusiasts benefit most from this upgrade when addressing worn ball joints, bent arms, or alignment problems on 1964–1972 Chevelles, Malibus, and other A-Body platforms. Installation requires basic suspension knowledge and proper alignment equipment; professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure toe, caster, and camber settings meet your vehicle's specifications. The aluminum construction and plastic bushings reduce friction at pivot points, improving suspension responsiveness while requiring periodic inspection for bushing wear. These control arms pair seamlessly with RideTech coilover kits, air suspension systems, or stock-style components.
