Tubular A-arms: How Do They Rate

[Royal-T-Ltd]

Now that UB A-Arms have been out for a while and are on some street driven gn's/turbo t's. How would you rate there drivability, construction, handling, etc.... Would you buy them again? Also how would you rate hotchkis, global west, ....? TIA

UB Machine. It's brain-free, they're cheap, they're strong, they're whatever dimensions you want them to be.

I don't know the other but have had good service out of my Hotchkis A-Arms and other stuff. They've been on my 81 Malibu since about 94 with no problems or squeaking.

Pole Position adjustable arms.

No more shims, and you can dial in 3 degrees of negative camber and still keep 4 degree of caster.

How have the pole pos. a-arms held up - do you drive on the streets alot or do you trailer to events/races? can you use them with stock as well as b body spindles? TIA

I run them on the street. No issues so far, just keep them greased and clean. They're bare steel, so they'll corrode and get rather ugly if you expose them to road salt.

I'm using them with the stock spindles and an half-ton truck upper ball joint. I don't know what using them with the B-body spindles would do to the front geometry.

They do rest against the frame at full droop. Not a big concern unless your front wheels leave the ground a lot.
