Front Control Arms, Bushings and Shafts
(Extended Travel) 1970-81 Firebird Tubular Lower Control Arms with Del-A-Lum Bushings #CTA-71EXT 1970-81
Global West Suspension sells Lower control arms for extended travel for the Firebird--model years 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1980, and 1981. The powder coated control arms are shipped assembled with ball joints, billet cross shafts, bump stops, and Del-a-lum bushings. The Global West Advantage: Global West has years of experience with these cars on the track. The geometry we learned at the track is now built directly into the control arms you buy. New alignment specifications are also provided for street and road racing applications; therefore, the factory alignment specifications are no longer valid. We equip these arms with Del-a-lum bushings, which are considered best because they perform like bearings rather than bushings. They work on six surfaces to ensure no bind when the control arm pivots up and down. The bushings also have grease fittings that provide easy access for lubricating the bushing via a grease gun. Simply put, you will experience performance with no squeaks that is superior over polyurethane. You will find Del-a-lum bushings being used for street, road racing, drag racing, and circle track. If you are planning on lowering your car and running big tires for pro-touring or just achieving the desired look, extended travel front end kits are something you should be looking at. As coilover suspension grows in popularity and ride heights are getting lower and lower, suspension travel is becoming more limited. Dropped spindles lower the car down but reduce the amount of back space you can use on the rim. This makes for less tire on the front end, unless you step up to a 18 inch or larger rim. Extended Travel Information: If you are planning on lowering your car and running big tires for pro-touring or just achieving the desired look, extended travel front end kits are something you should be looking at.

Dropped spindles lower the car down but reduce the amount of back space you can use on the rim. This makes for less tire on the front end, unless you step up to a 18 inch or larger rim. Why is the dropped spindle an issue? The inside of the rim hits the tie rod end because a dropped spindle raises the spindle pin up in the spindle, the steering knuckle arm that the tie rod attaches to stays in the stock location. You can (and many do) use conventional coilover shocks that plug into the stock frame using a conical wound spring; however, you will run out of travel if you get into a 2 inch drop scenario and you drive aggressively. You need more travel! That is why #CTA-71EXT was designed. It allows for extended travel. The upper shock mount is raised above the frame.
