I am going to order some tubular a arms for my 65 chevy truck short bed.I am planning on a BBC ,and have herd some have a tendency to break.Truck will not be a daily driver ,more like a weekend cruizer.What do you think?These are the ones I am lookng at plus the uppers,they are from CPPCPP’s Tubular Control Arms are designed to provide full wheel travel and minimal friction. The upper control arms are made from 1-1/4” x .120” wall and the lower is 1-1/2” x .120 wall D.O.M. tubing and the pivot barrels are thick 1-1/2” .188” wall D.O.M. tubing to eliminate distortion from welding and hard use. The upper control arms add 5 degrees of caster. The lower arms provide increased ground clearance and allow the use of sway bars. They can be installed with either factory uppers and lowers, or as a full set. The bushings are made from self lubricating non-squeak patented plastic that will out last any rubber or urethane, and works at temperatures in excess of 400 degrees F.

The Chrome-moly cross shafts and sleeves are zinc plated for lasting performance. The sleeves have an interlocking design that prevents the hardware from ever working loose. The pivots carry both forward and back loads (the original cross shaft pivot was designed to only carry a forward or back load, but not both). The control arm assemblies are a simple bolt-in installation with no modification required. They work with all factory and replacement power steering systems, and with or without O.E. bump stops.

NOTE: Part #6372TCA-LA works with double convoluted air bags.
