Bolt In Rear Shock Tower Brace for the 1964-1972 GM A-Body, Car only
P/N 4058 and 4059
Priced at $129.99/each

UMI Performance, Inc. is pleased to announce the availability of our new A-body rear shock tower brace. This 100% jig built, bolt-in brace ties the rear upper shock mounts together to share the load and stiffen the chassis. Strong 1-1/4” tubing is MIG welded to 3/16” thick laser cut brackets for a perfect fit. Hardware is included to make this a true, easy bolt-in installation. This brace is designed to clear all of the popular exhaust systems and works equally well on coilover setups and traditional spring/shock combinations. All UMI products are built from US Steel and are available in black and red powder coat. The 4058 is manufactured, tested and raced out of Philipsburg, PA – USA. Note: Currently not suitable for the wagon or El Camino.

What are your plans for exhaust on the lemans and how much clearance is there for over the axle 3 inch?

We are running the exhaust dumped before the axle on the Lemans. From what we can see this brace should clear all systems. Hope that helps,

I've got one coming. If it's here in time I'll try to get it on the car before I come up to Wiscinsin

Im just thinking back to when I put on UCAs in the back - do you have to pull the fuel tank to get this on?

Negative on the fuel tank removal. It fits in with virtually no hassle.
