Product Description

The QA1 52518 Pro-Touring Upper Control Arm Kit is designed for classic GM performance chassis where precision handling, modern suspension geometry and durability are required. These arms replace the factory stamped steel uppers with rigid tubular steel units featuring ultra-low friction ball joints and a geometry tune that improves caster/ camber control, making them ideal for street, track or pro-touring use.

Built to bolt into the original mounting points, the 52518 kit seamlessly integrates with the factory inner hinge and shock mounts while offering performance enhancements such as reduced flex, better alignment retention and serviceable ball joints. The longer ball-joint stud increases camber gain, helping maintain tire contact during cornering and aggressive driving. Finished in a durable black powder coat, the arms are built to last and look good under the hood.

Ideal for owners upgrading their suspension with coil-overs, large-wheel/low-profile tyre combos or heavy braking systems, these arms provide the front-end stability needed for such upgrades. Though advanced in design, installation is straightforward - using factory bolt locations reduces modification and preserves chassis integrity. As with all high-performance components, alignment and torque specs should be verified after installation.
