QA1 78-88 GM G-Body Street Performance Upper Control Arm Kit - Front

QA1 Street Performance Upper Control Arms upgrade front suspension on 1978-1988 GM G-Body vehicles including Chevrolet Monte Carlo Malibu Buick Regal Oldsmobile Cutlass and Pontiac Grand Prix. These arms deliver lightweight strength for cruising and long-distance drives with polyurethane bushings that reduce road noise for a smooth ride and precise handling. Robotically welded construction powder coat finish and upgraded ball joints ensure long-lasting performance with built-in caster and camber improvements.

Key Features

  • Lightweight Strength: High strength tubing paired with billet aluminum cross shafts creates the lightest control arms available while boosting durability over stock.
  • Precision Welding and Finish: Robotically welded joints and high-quality powder coat provide a clean look and resistance to corrosion for years of use.
  • Polyurethane Bushings: Block road noise for comfortable cruising yet maintain stiffness for sharp cornering and responsive steering.
  • Integrated Ball Joint: Stronger than factory design offers extended service life and reliable connection under performance loads.
  • Geometry Adjustments: Full kit adds 3-4 degrees caster and 0.5-1 degree negative camber used together or half that amount when used alone.

Product Notes

  • Configured for QA1 Pro Coil Systems featuring double shear lower mounting for added safety.
  • Pair with QA1 lower arms for maximum caster and camber gains.
  • Powder coated finish arrives ready for installation with no prep needed.

Installation Notes

  • Professional installation recommended.
  • Designed to work with QA1 Pro Coil front suspension systems.

Control Arms

Control Arms

Control arms are the key suspension linkages that connect the wheel hub and knuckle assembly to the vehicle frame, controlling wheel travel through both compression and droop cycles. Worn OEM control arms with loose ball joints or deteriorated bushings cause vague steering, tire wear, and handling inconsistency that only go away with replacement or upgrade.Popular UpgradesTubular steel upper control arms for lifted trucks and SUVs are the most popular upgrade in the control arm category, correcting the geometry compromised by a suspension lift and restoring proper caster angle and ball joint centering. Adjustable upper control arms allow alignment angles like caster and camber to be dialed in precisely after a lift or lowering modification. Replacement lower control arms with polyurethane or solid aluminum bushings improve response and longevity compared to worn OEM rubber mounts.Why do I need new control arms after a lift kit?A suspension lift changes the angle at which the OEM upp...
