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.

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.
