The Mopar guys can finally get bolt-on suspension upgrades from Hotchkis Performace, including tubular upper A-arms and front and rear antiroll bars. The stuff fits B-bodies (like Chargers and Road Runners) and E-bodies (like Cudas and Challengers).
See the Hotchkis press release on the A-arms after the photo.
Santa Fe Springs, Calif. (March 2009)
–Chrysler B & E Bodies like the Charger, Barracuda, Challenger, GTX
and Superbird are icons of the muscle car era. Owners of these classic
muscle machines have had to choose between poor 1960s handling and a
new K-member using “Brand-F” technology – until now. The
engineers and handling experts at Hotchkis Sport Suspension have
developed a new bolt-on Tubular Upper A-Arm kit for Mopar B & E
Bodies that corrects excessive caster gain, creates the proper negative
camber curve and reduces bump steer. The result is dramatically
improved handling, traction and road feel, all while preserving the
classic Mopar soul.
These
new A-Arms were designed to utilize your stock K-Member and use
Mopar-style hardware enhanced with modern geometry and race-proven
materials. The arms are constructed out of 1-1/8” high-strength steel
tubing fully gusseted with laser cut reinforcement brackets and are TIG
welded for maximum strength and durability. The kit includes
pre-installed laser cut pick up point relocation brackets,
fully-articulating rod ends and high quality ball joints. A lustrous
nickel plated finish provides incredible shine and long-lasting
protection.
During
track testing the arms showed incredible gains on their own, but when
paired with our new Sport Sway Bars and adjustable Strut Rod and
Steering Rod kits, they totally transformed our Challenger and Charger
test vehicles into modern canyon carvers. Hotchkis Tubular Upper A-Arms
are available for the 1966-70 B-Body (Charger, GTX, Coronet, Road
Runner, Satellite, etc.) and 1970-74 E-Body (Challenger &
Barracuda). Like all Hotchkis Performance products, Geometry Corrected
Mopar Tubular A-Arms are designed, built and punished in the USA.
