Speedway Upper Control Arms

[RobertB.]

Are these the correct ones, and why is it that Gbodys take 2 rights side arms?

If I remember correctly you need 2 rights so that the geometry will align the front end properly....left and right are not the same originally but for alignment the 2 8" rights is the proper combo..........

Good call on the 90° grease fittings. Anyone using this at the drag strip? I'm wondering if I need to think about welding a bumpstop bracket on the arms if the car can get any air under the front tires...

I was looking at pics of these and I'm worried about the welds where the ball joint mounting plate meets the tube. If that breaks on the highway, bad things are going to happen really quick. Plus, on dirt, the tires glide over the dirt but on pavement, the tires are going to hook and put a lot of stress onthe arms.

no need to be worried about the welds..here's our car after hitting the inside wall with a little bit of help at
80+ mph and the upper was bent but not broken..

looks like that hurt.

it hurt the car but not the driver, 5 point belts and the hans devise works well. We had to cut out the clip and had a new one welded in on a jig, repair the front sheet metal and bumper, repair the rear and had the car back out the next Friday turning the same laps as before the tweaking incident..

but back on the subject those uppers take more of beating than the OEM uppers...
