      Description

      What it solves

      Give your classic muscle car the front suspension geometry it should have had from the factory with UMI’s 2753 Tubular Upper A-Arms. Built from high-strength 1.25-inch .120 wall DOM tubing, these precision control arms feature a relocated ball joint pad to deliver additional positive caster without piling on excess shims. The result is a direct, predictable steering feel that transforms the way your vehicle handles. UMI-built CNC-machined Delrin bushings eliminate deflection during hard cornering, while zinc-plated 4140 chromoly cross shafts ensure long-lasting durability and smooth articulation.

      Designed specifically for 1967–1969 F-Body and 1968–1974 X-Body platforms, this kit is a direct bolt-in upgrade fully compatible with factory or aftermarket lower A-arms and spindles. It perfectly complements stock to 2-inch lowered ride heights, maintaining proper camber specs to keep your front tires planted. Engineered, track-tested, and manufactured 100% in the USA at UMI’s Pennsylvania facility, these powder-coated upper control arms are built to perform.

      Fluted Delrin bushings: CNC-machined in-house by UMI, these greaseable bushings provide zero deflection during hard cornering for crisp, predictable handling over rubber.
      ✓
      4140 chromoly cross shafts: CNC-machined for incredible strength and zinc-plated for maximum corrosion resistance, ensuring years of trouble-free performance.
      ✓
      Reversible camber baselines: Cross shafts can be installed with the shallow side to the frame for positive camber or the deeper side for aggressive negative camber.
      ✓
      Premium ball joints: Ships fully assembled with standard-height premium ball joints and polyurethane bump stops so you can bolt them right up out of the box.
      ✓
      Factory compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with stock lower control arms, factory spindles, or aftermarket drop spindles to fine-tune your exact front-end setup.
      ✓
      Tough powder-coated finish: Protects your investment from extreme road conditions and corrosion while looking fantastic in your engine bay.

      Installation Summary

      Before you buy

      Overview & Difficulty: Moderate DIY install requiring basic hand tools, a ball joint separator, and a floor jack; approximately 2–3 hours per side. The process involves supporting the lower arm, separating the upper ball joint from the spindle, and removing the factory upper control arm. Reassemble with the new UMI arms, noting that cross-shaft orientation dictates your baseline camber.

      What’s Included:
      • Driver side tubular upper A-arm assembly (2753DR) ×1
      • Passenger side tubular upper A-arm assembly (2753PA) ×1
      • Pre-installed premium standard-height ball joints ×2
      • Pre-installed polyurethane bump stops ×2

      Is This Product Right for You?

      Decision guide

      The UMI 2753 Tubular Upper A-Arms are an essential upgrade for classic F-Body and X-Body owners who want modern steering response and corrected geometry, especially on lowered cars. By repositioning the ball joint and eliminating bushing deflection, these arms fix the sloppy, wandering steering inherent in vintage muscle cars.

      Best For
      ✓
      Enthusiasts lowering their Camaro, Firebird, or Nova up to 2 inches.
      ✓
      Autocross and pro-touring builders needing precise caster and camber control.
      ✓
      Drivers wanting to replace worn, flex-prone factory stamped control arms.
      Not Ideal For
      ×
      Drag-only builds needing extreme weight reduction or travel limiters.
      ×
      Coil-over conversions running significantly above stock ride heights.
      ×
      Owners seeking a softer, factory-cushioned ride (Delrin bushings slightly increase NVH).

      Product FAQ

      Quick answers
      What vehicles do the UMI 2753 upper A-arms fit?
      The UMI 2753 tubular upper A-arms are designed as a direct replacement for the 1967–1969 F-Body (Camaro/Firebird) and the 1968–1974 X-Body (Nova/Apollo/Omega/Ventura).
      How do these arms improve steering geometry?
      They feature a relocated ball joint pad that naturally increases positive caster, improving straight-line stability and steering returnability without needing thick stacks of alignment shims.
      Will these control arms work with lowered cars?
      Yes. They are designed to correct the camber curve for cars at stock height up to a 2-inch drop, ensuring the tire maintains a flat contact patch through suspension travel.
      Can I use these with stock lower control arms and spindles?
      Absolutely. These A-arms are direct bolt-in replacements and are fully compatible with your factory lower control arms and factory spindles.
      What type of bushings are included?
      The 2753 arms come with UMI-built CNC-machined Delrin bushings, which are greaseable, fluted, and designed to eliminate suspension deflection entirely for crisp handling.
      Does this kit include new mounting hardware?
      Mounting hardware is not included. You can re-use your factory knurled bolts that remain in the frame, or purchase UMI hardware kits 4002 or 4003 separately.
      Are ball joints included with the control arms?
      Yes. The arms ship fully assembled with premium standard-height ball joints already installed, saving you time and effort during the installation process.
      Can I adjust my baseline camber with these arms?
      Yes. The 4140 chromoly cross shafts can be oriented with the shallow side facing the frame for more positive camber, or the deeper side for more negative camber.
      Do these arms provide better header clearance than stock?
      Yes. The 1.25-inch DOM tubing is carefully routed using a programmable bender to offer significantly improved header clearance over bulky factory stamped A-arms.
      Where are the UMI 2753 A-arms manufactured?
      These upper control arms are designed, track-tested, and manufactured 100% in the USA at UMI Performance’s facility in Philipsburg, Pennsylvania.
