Product Details
Trailing Arm - Rear - Upper - Tubular - Greaseable - Adjustable - Polyurethane / Steel Bushings - Aluminum - Red Anodized - GM B-Body 1978-96 - Pair
These trailing arms for 78-96 GM B-Bodies offer an immediate suspension upgrade. All upper tubular and lower boxed trailing arms use polyurethane bushings on both ends, while upper adjustable and lower tubular trailing arms use a spherical ball or rod end assembly on the chassis end to eliminate bushing bind, allowing the suspension to move smoother for better control. This keeps the tires planted firmly on the ground for improved traction and a more predictable, better handling car. Trailing arms are powder-coated gloss black for a long lasting finish. Boxed Trailing Arms are constructed from 0.120'' wall cold rolled steel tubing for maximum strength and flex elimination. These trailing arms have fluted, greasable polyurethane bushings, which are superior to the stock rubber bushings. Tubular Trailing Arms are constructed from 1-1/4'' diameter, 0.120'' wall steel tubing which offers increased strength over other designs but also has the added advantage of lighter weight. These trailing arms have fluted, greasable polyurethane bushings, which are superior to the stock rubber bushings. Heavy-Duty Adjustable Trailing Arms allow easy rear suspension adjustments for optimum handling and traction. Simply loosen the jam nuts and adjust the pinion angle without removing the arms from the vehicle. They replace soft OE differential bushings with polyurethane differential bushings, and they use a spherical ball or rod end assembly with UHMW polyethylene bushings on the chassis end to allow the rear suspension to move more freely and eliminate bushing bind. Adjustable Tubular Lower Trailing Arms are offered in both aluminum and steel. These arms are the ultimate in weight savings and adjustability, and they feature QA1's premium self-sealing and self-lubricating X Series (heat treated chromoly steel) or A Series (aircraft aluminum) rod ends. Kits include (2) lower control arms with rod ends and jam nuts.

The history of a company and its founder can go a long way in helping you decide if their product is one you can trust and QA1 Precision Products has been around for quite some time, starting in 1993 with the remarkably talented founder Jim Jordan, who began working in the power transmission field in the 1970’s. He was a true innovator who, besides being an expert on rod ends, was also responsible for a multiplicity of industry changing products and received multiple patents for sui generis ideas. He began QA1 in order to primarily develop rod ends and spherical bearings for the racing milieu and then with the acquisition of HAL SHOCKS in 1998 a new era in the company began with the shock absorber line putting QA1 on the road to becoming a leader in shock absorbers for a variety of performance driving applications. Then, the piece de resistance for the racing industry, the innovative shocks that you could re-valve and rebuild resulting in considerable time and money and this was all in 1999, the early history of the company. With the addition of the EDELBROCK suspension line Q1 increased its presence in the performance parts market with its own fabricated suspension components. QA1 now has facilities that are over eighty three thousand square feet in Lakeville, MN and you have to admit that is impressive resume’ for any company but particularly one in such a competitive market. The company’s success in a multiplicity of markets including shock absorbers, carbon fiber drive shafts, spherical bearings, rod ends, suspension and others too numerous to mention makes it one of the paramount companies in the performance industry. QA1 continues on its road to success today and to that end has surrounded themselves with a staff that can excel in every aspect of production including design and development, manufacturing and quality assurance and the company’s ability to use global sourcing for aluminum forging and impact extrusions makes it possible for them to accommodate you with premium quality American made products like their QA1 springs and shocks at an affordable price. There is a reason Inc. Magazine, a monthly publication focused on growing companies, named QA1 Precision Products, Inc. twice to its top annual 500 list as amongst the fastest growing privately held companies in the United States.
