The Speedmaster PCE179.1012 is a set of tubular front upper and lower control arms engineered for 1968-1972 Chevrolet Chevelle, Monte Carlo, and Pontiac GTO A-body models. These suspension components replace factory stamped-steel designs with modern tubular construction, delivering improved handling geometry, reduced weight, and enhanced durability for both street and performance driving applications.
Tubular control arms offer significant advantages over original equipment: the seamless tube design eliminates weak points present in stamped-steel assemblies, while the lighter weight reduces unsprung mass for better suspension response and ride quality. The precision-engineered geometry is optimized for A-body chassis dynamics, supporting drop spindles, larger brake packages, and modern tire sizes commonly used in restorations and upgrades. Whether you're modernizing a classic restoration or enhancing a street machine, these arms provide the structural integrity and performance characteristics necessary for reliable, predictable suspension behavior.
Key Features & Benefits
- Tubular Construction: Seamless tube design provides superior strength and reduced weight compared to factory stamped-steel control arms.
- A-Body Fitment: Direct replacement for 1968-1972 Chevrolet Chevelle, Monte Carlo, and Pontiac GTO vehicles.
- Front Upper & Lower: Complete set includes both upper and lower control arm assemblies for the front suspension.
- Performance Geometry: Engineered to support modern suspension modifications, larger brakes, and drop spindle conversions.
- Durable Steel Tubing: Heavy-duty tube construction resists bending and flexing during cornering and high-stress driving.
