CARVE CORNERS, KEEP YOUR K-MEMBER:

Geometry-Corrected A-Arms for 1967-72 Mopar A-Body Offer Bolt-On Handling

Mopar A-Body cars are amongst the most plentiful and affordable Chrysler muscle cars. Despite their popularity, until recently A-Body owners have had limited options to choose from when restoring their Darts, Demons, Dusters, Valiants or early Barracudas. You could keep it stock, with excessive body roll and imprecise driver control, or gut the car and swap the front end for a complete system using "Brand-F" technology. Now Hotchkis Performance has a better way: new Geometry-Corrected Tubular A-arms that improve camber gain and caster and reduce bump steer bolt-on to your stock K-member for incredible handling while preserving the soul of your muscle machine.







•High Quality, 5/8" High Articulation Rod Ends and ball joints installed.
•Improves caster, increases camber gain and reduces bump steer superior handling
•Bolt-On Installation, use your stock K-member, no cutting required
•Improves caster and increases camber gain for better handling and increases control.

Months of rigorous computer modeling, track testing and real-world punishment helped Hotchkis engineers fine tune the new arms, which feature TIG Welded, 1-1/8" high-strength steel tubing with laser cut reinforcement gussets and high quality 5/8" high articulation rod ends and ball joints pre-installed. Hotchkis Tubular Upper Control Arms correct excessive caster gain and create the proper negative camber curve, allowing for even tire wear and dramatically improved traction, steering, and cornering.

Like all Hotchkis Performance suspension products, Mopar A-Body Tubular A-Arms are designed, tested and manufactured in the USA using the best materials available.
Geometry-Corrected A-Arm pairs are finished in a lustrous, Nickel Plated Finish, seamlessly blending performance, form and function. The arms work best when paired with Hotchkis Sport Sway Bars, Rear Sport Leaf Springs and Subframe Connectors, or in a Hotchkis Total Vehicle System (TVS).

How does the UCA affect bumpsteer? Im not trying to be that guy, just curious.

Because the dimensions and pick up points of the control arms create a desirable range of operation for tie rods. Good definition here in the third paragraph down; http://www.longacreracing.com/articles/art.asp?ARTID=13

It's nice to see so many new A-body parts lately. I remember the days when the only performance options were poly bushings and subframe connectors.

Check out the Longacre link above. Scroll down to the bottom and there is a nice graphic at the bottom of the page to give you an idea how the relationship between control arm length and tie rods.
