These rear arms fit the following vehicles from 1978 to 1988: Buick Regal, 78-81 Buick Century, 78-88 Chevy El Camino, 78-83 Chevy Malibu, 78-88 Chevy Monte Carlo, 78-88 Oldsmobile Cutlass, 78-80 Pontiac Grand Am, 78-87 Pontiac Grand Prix, 78-81 Pontiac LeMans, 78-87 GMC Caballero and 82-86 Pontiac Bonneville. See fitment table below for a full list of applications.
The arms are a bolt-on design and are specifically designed for cars running lift springs or lift cups.
Why do I need longer G Body trailing arms when lifting my car?
When lifting the rear of 78-88 G Body vehicles, the trailing arms become too short to work efficiently. UCL extended rear trailing arms will solve many problems associated with running lift springs or lift cups such as the following:
- ● Drive shaft angle, also know as pinion angle, being out of alignment
- ● Excessive drive shaft vibrations
- ● Premature U joint failure, causing an unsafe driving condition
- ● Wheels moving forward into the wheel well and looking funny
Universal Car Lifts extended G Body trailing arms fit all 78-88 G Body platform vehicles. They will greatly improve the performance of your lifted car application and are a necessity when raising the rear. They will also improve the appearance of the car and get rid of the issues associated with the wheel moving forward. For this reason, we highly recommend running these arms when lifting your Cutlass, Monte Carlo, Grand Prix, Malibu or any other 78-88 Chevy G Body application.
How are UCL’s extended G Body trailing arms different from others?
Our longer trailing arms are the most durable on the market and are rated for over 1000hp. Constructed from high grade steel that is precision machined to exacting tolerances, UCL arms are over-sized and over-built for maximum performance. Some features include:
- ● Massive 1-3/4″ tubing construction is the largest in the industry to handle maximum abuse
- ● Arms are adjustable up to 3 inches over stock trailing arms
- ● Threaded adjustments allow you to fine tune your drive shaft angle to eliminate vibrations
- ● Upper and lower arms include high grade plated jam nuts for corrosion resistance
- ● UCL is the only company to utilize heavy duty boxed end construction for upper arms
- ● Precision machined bushing receivers for a guaranteed accurate bushing fit
- ● Welded by certified welders using state of the art equipment
- ● Finished in a durable gloss black powder coat finish for years of trouble free use
We are so confident our G Body trailing arms are the best that we offer a lifetime warranty against manufacturers defects. Rest assured that by purchasing UCL extended G Body trailing arms, you are purchasing the best car lift products in the world.
Durable gloss black powder coating lasts 100x longer than spray painted parts
When choosing G Body trailing arms for your car lift project, be sure to note the finish on the parts. All of Universal Car Lifts parts feature a durable gloss black powder coat finish. We start by cleaning the raw metal parts with a degreaser solution to facilitate a permanent finish bonding. The parts are then sent through a large oven and heated to encourage off gassing. This uniformly bakes off any impurities from the parts.
After pretreating the parts in an oven, the G Body trailing arms are professionally sprayed with a high end powder coat gun in a clean room spray booth. The arms are then sent back through the oven where they bake at the proper temperature to obtain a permanent bond.
This powder coat technique is the same method that new car manufacturers use to ensure their parts last virtually forever. It prevents rust from forming on the parts which will weaken the steel and cause premature failure.
Beware of “knock-off brand” sellers who use cheap hardware store spray paint to finish their parts. The finish will look like crap and the parts will almost immediately rust. The corrosion will eventually cause the parts to fail and could cause your rear end to fall out of your car.
Insist on genuine UCL extended G Body trailing arms for your project. We have been manufacturing car lifts longer than anyone else and have more cars running our lifts than anyone else.
Bushing options for your 78-88 G Body trailing arms
Like all car lift kits, you will need to install new bushings in to the trailing arms. You can try reusing your stock bushings, but chances are the 20+ year old factory units are in need of replacement. We provide the part numbers in the instructions and you can purchase these at your local auto parts store.
As an alternate option, we can supply the bushings for you. Follow this link to purchase heavy duty bushings designed for these arms.
You will need to use a hydraulic H press to install the bushings in the rear trailing arms. We recommend having an experienced professional do this. If you are interested in having us install the bushings for you, we can send you the trailing arms with them fully installed and ready to bolt on your ride. This includes all new bushings and professional installation. Most customers agree this is by far the easiest way to get your car up and rolling the fastest. If you are interested in this option, please contact us directly for more information and pricing.
