Improve the rear suspension performance of your 1978-1996 GM B-Body vehicle, including the Impala, with this high-quality rear control arm featuring durable polyurethane bushings.

Rear Control Arm with Polyurethane Bushings for Impala & B-Body (1978-1996)

Over time, the rubber bushings in classic GM B-Body control arms degrade, leading to excessive play, reduced handling, and a "mushy" feeling in the rear end. This rear control arm is a direct replacement, but with a significant upgrade: premium polyurethane bushings. Polyurethane offers superior rigidity and longevity compared to traditional rubber, effectively reducing suspension flex and improving power transfer to the wheels. Experience tighter handling, reduced wheel hop, and a more responsive feel in your Impala or other B-Body model, bringing modern performance to your vintage vehicle.

Enhance Handling and Reduce Flex in Your Vintage Ride

My Thoughts

For anyone with an older Impala or B-Body, upgrading to polyurethane bushings is a no-brainer. It's one of those modifications that you feel immediately, especially when you push the car a little. The reduction in slop and the tighter feel make driving these classics even more enjoyable and predictable. Highly recommended for a noticeable improvement.
