A-body adjustable upper control arms

HandOverFist · 08-23-2016, 03:09 PM

Anyone have a source or link to some adjustable upper rear control arms (heim's both ends) ? For a '67 A-body.

Like the upper bar on a leaf-link? Rear control arm has me confused.

That's not hard.

Duh, I guess there are a whole lot of A-bodies that are not Barracudas, Darts and Dusters.

Sorry I have led a sheltered life.

Two ideas - Global West has a really nice set-up available for most GM vehicles - www.globalwest.net. Also South Side Machine has recently started to offer their lift bars for GM A bodies, so they might be worth a call @ 330-753-5300 (The website - www.southsidemachine.com - doesn't have very much information.)

Good luck with your project!

It's for a '67 El Camino. Thanks guys...I have a Spohn sway bar and have been on their site many times, but missed the fact that they will custom make control arms.

Exactly what I need... http://www.spohn.net/shop/Custom-Par...djustable.html Any thoughts on the Del-sphere vs spherical joints?

I'm using relocation brackets on the housing, thus the need for heims on both ends. Don't like the bind in the bushed arms at all and it will be great to not have to remove the arm to adjust.
