Control Your Tri-Five

Classic Performance Products (CPP) now offers “Totally Tubular” A- arms for the popular Tri-Five Chevies. Made from 1 1/4-inch .120 wall D.O.M. tubing with 1 1/2-inch .188 pivot bushing ends, five degrees of caster is built into these control arms while providing full wheel travel. The bushings are

made from self-lubricating, non- squeak, patented plastic designed to outlast rubber and urethane at temperatures in excess of 4000 F. The billet 4140-alloy steel cross shafts and bushing sleeves are zinc plated, featuring an interlocking design that prevents the hardware from ever working loose. The con-

trol arm shaft and pivots carry both forward and back loads (original arms carried forward and back loads, but not both) and the ball joints are included. The control arm assemblies are a simple bolt-in and will work with all factory and replacement power steering sys- tems. The “Totally Tubular” arms are available in black or silver with or without O.E. bump stops. CPP 714-522-2000 www.classicperform.com
