1973-1988 GM G-Body (Cutlass, El Camino, Regal, Malibu, Grand Prix, Monte Carlo)
The Metco Motorsports upper control arm is comprised of a precision-machinedaluminum block housing a threaded steel pinion, a heavy-duty zinc-plated adjuster, and a precision-welded and powdercoated clevis. The combination of these premium components results in a control arm thatcan be installed as a direct replacement for the factorycontrol arms, but offers the benefits of in-car adjustability, the firm response ofpolyurethane bushings, and an independently-verified 400% increase in strength.
The Metco control arms require no disassembly for adjustment, and the usercan even dial in the pinion anglewith the vehicle's weight on the suspension. Prior to shipment, thearms are assembled on a fixtureand carefully set to match the length of the stock control arms for the intended application. No adjustment is required by the installer.
Energy Suspension-brand polyurethane bushings are included for all pivot points to provide a ride quality befitting a high performance vehicle without the harshness of rod ends or heim joints. The design of the Metco control arm also provides additional clearance for oversize exhaust pipes routed over the axle. Competitors may claim that their 'larger' center adjuster is stronger, but the adjuster we use in our arms is CNC-machined from high-grade steel in our own shop, and ours is proven to survive in the most extremeapplications. Our adjuster also uses 1 1/8" locknuts, unlike the others which require a wrench too large to loosen or tighten while the arms are on the car.
The control arm set includes polyurethane bushings to replace the bushings in the differential ears, the necessary hardware, and comprehensive installation instructions.
