QA1 5255 Upper Adjustable Trailing Arms for 1979-2004 Ford Mustang
QA1 5255 upper adjustable trailing arms upgrade the rear suspension on 1979-2004 Ford Mustang and select Mercury Capri models. These tubular arms feature spherical rod ends on the chassis end to reduce bushing bind for smoother suspension action and firmer tire contact with the road. Powder-coated gloss black they provide durable protection while allowing easy pinion angle adjustments without removal.

- Graphite Polyurethane Bushings: Fluted greasable bushings at differential end replace soft OE rubber for reduced compliance and longer life
- Tubular Steel Construction: 1-1/4 inch diameter 0.120 wall steel tubing cuts weight while maintaining strength against flex
- Powder-Coated Finish: Gloss black coating resists corrosion and chips for lasting appearance under track or street conditions
