QA1 68-72 GM A-Body Upper Adjustable Trailing Arms
QA1 upper adjustable trailing arms fit 1968-1972 GM A-Body vehicles like Chevelle El Camino GTO Cutlass. These arms feature spherical ball rod end assemblies on the chassis end with polyurethane bushings on the differential end to remove bushing bind for smoother suspension movement. Drivers gain improved traction and handling from tires staying planted during cornering and acceleration.
Key Features
- Adjustable Design: Loosen jam nuts to set pinion angle and wheelbase without removing arms from the vehicle for quick track or street tuning
- Spherical Bearings: Chassis end uses rod ends with UHMW polyethylene to allow free suspension motion and prevent deflection under load
- Polyurethane Bushings: Fluted greasable bushings at differential end replace OE rubber for longer life and consistent performance
- Construction: Built from 1-1/4 inch diameter 0.120 wall steel tubing with zinc plating and anodizing for corrosion resistance and strength
- Sold in Pairs: Direct bolt-in replacement includes all hardware for left and right side installation on GM A-Body rear suspension
Product Notes
- Pair requires no fabrication for stock or lowered setups on 68-72 A-Body platforms
- Grease zerks on bushings every 5,000 miles or after track days to maintain smooth operation
- Ships as complete pair weighing 8.9 lbs in one box measuring 20.2 x 5.4 x 4.2 inches
Installation Notes
- Professional installation recommended.
- Bolt directly to factory locations using provided hardware no welding needed
- Adjust pinion angle to 1-3 degrees down for most rear gear setups during install
