Show original supplier description
The Global TBC-82 is a rear upper adjustable tubular control arm engineered for enhanced performance and adjustability in 1968-1972 GM A-body vehicles. This control arm facilitates easy setting of pinion angle due to its design with right and left-hand threads on the adjuster, allowing for length adjustments without requiring the arm to be removed. Jam nuts are included to secure the adjusted position. Constructed from durable steel with a protective powder coat finish, the TBC-82 is built to last. It incorporates high-misalignment spherical bearings on the frame side, which allow for proper rear end movement crucial for a stable and smooth ride. The kit includes bushings, with a recommendation to use rubber bushings for the rear end upper mounts in street and handling applications to prevent binding at the limits of travel; polyurethane bushings are noted as potentially causing binding in these specific locations. This adjustable upper control arm is specifically required for applications installing a nine-inch Ford rear end. It is designed to fit a wide range of GM A-body models, including the Chevelle, El Camino, Malibu, Monte Carlo, GTO, Lemans, F-85, Cutlass, 442, Skylark, Special, Grand Sport, Sport Wagon, and Grand Prix from 1968-1972. The product is a pair, made of steel, and features tubular control arm style.
