Product Description

The QA1 5236 is a pair of bolt-in adjustable lower trailing arms engineered for 1964-1977 GM A-Body vehicles including the Chevelle, Malibu, El Camino, GTO, Cutlass, and related platforms. Factory stamped steel trailing arms on these vehicles are prone to flex under hard acceleration, which leads to wheel hop, inconsistent rear traction, and difficulty fitting larger aftermarket wheels without rubbing. QA1's tubular steel construction with chromoly rod ends and greaseable polyurethane bushings eliminates bushing bind and deflection, delivering a more planted, predictable rear suspension under all driving conditions.

With up to 1 inch of wheelbase adjustability, the 5236 allows precise rear axle positioning within the wheel well - a critical upgrade for A-Body builds running larger wheels or lowered suspension. The double adjustable linkage makes on-car tuning straightforward without needing to remove the arms. All components arrive powder coated and ready to install with all hardware included for a clean bolt-in upgrade. Proudly made in Lakeville, Minnesota, the QA1 5236 is a direct performance improvement for street cruisers, pro-touring builds, drag machines, and Big Wheel A-Body applications alike.
