New Edelbrock Adjustable Upper Control Arms
Built For Better Handling, Traction


TORRANCE, Calif. (Aug. 16, 2002) – Are difficult rear suspension adjustments causing a dilemma for your GM A/G body car? Edelbrock’s new adjustable upper control arms (PNs 5247, 5248 and 5249) solve the problem. They are built to make the adjustments much easier and provide better handling and traction.

Winner of Popular Mechanics Editor’s Choice Award, these heavy-duty adjustable control arms can be adjusted without removing the arms from the vehicle. Simply loosen the jam nuts and adjust pinion angle. A spherical ball end allows the rear suspension to move freely without the bushing bind. Made in America and engineered for outstanding performance and handling, PN 5247 is for 1978-88 A/G bodies, PN 5248 for 1968-72 A/G bodies and PN 5249 is for 1964-67 A/G bodies. Suggested retail price is $248.95.
