Upgrading the front suspension can make a big difference when building a classic performance vehicle. The CPP Totally Tubular™ Upper and Lower Control Arm Set, Part # TCA6774B, offers a complete suspension upgrade for 1967-69 Chevrolet Camaro and Pontiac Firebird models, as well as 1968-74 Chevrolet Nova models.
Made by Classic Performance Products (CPP), this set replaces the original-style upper and lower control arms with strong tubular components. The arms are built with heavy-duty materials and include several important suspension parts. This makes the set a great choice for a restoration, restomod, pro touring build, or performance street machine.
One of the main features of the TCA6774B control arm set is its strong DOM (Drawn Over Mandrel) steel tubing. The lower control arms are made from 1-1/2-inch tubing with a .120-inch wall thickness. The upper control arms also use heavy-duty construction, including pivot barrels made from 1-1/2-inch DOM tubing with a .188-inch wall thickness.
DOM tubing is well suited for parts that need strength and consistent dimensions. This is important in a suspension system because the control arms connect the front suspension to the vehicle and help keep the wheels properly located.
For the vehicle owner, this heavy-duty construction provides a strong foundation for a front suspension upgrade. The tubular design also gives the suspension a clean, performance-inspired appearance that fits well with many modernized classic builds.
CPP designed the lower control arms with helical stamped coil spring mounts. These mounts are welded around their entire perimeter to the 1-1/2-inch DOM tubing. According to CPP, this design helps positively secure the coil springs.
This is an important feature because the lower control arms support and locate key parts of the front suspension. A strong spring mounting area helps create a solid suspension assembly that is designed to handle the demands placed on these components.
The benefit is added confidence in an important area of the suspension. The tubular construction is not only about appearance. CPP has also focused on how key suspension parts attach to and work with the control arms.
The upper control arms come pre-assembled with billet chromoly cross shafts and pivot sleeves. CPP also uses a design that secures both sides of the bushings for added safety.
Chromoly is known for its strength, making it a good material for demanding automotive applications. The cross shafts provide a solid mounting point for the upper control arms, while the bushing design helps keep the pivot assembly secure.
Because these components come pre-assembled, the customer receives a more complete suspension package. There is less need to track down major pieces separately before the control arms can be installed.
Suspension projects can become more complicated when several small parts must be purchased separately. CPP helps simplify the upgrade by including upper and lower ball joints, upper and lower bushings, and lower bump stops with the TCA6774B control arm set.
These are important parts of the suspension system. Ball joints allow the suspension and steering components to move through their normal range of motion. Bushings provide pivot points for the control arms while helping isolate metal components from one another.
Including these parts makes the TCA6774B a more complete package. Instead of purchasing the control arms and then searching for several additional components, the customer receives many of the main parts needed for the control arm installation.
The TCA6774B is sold as a complete upper and lower control arm set. This means the customer can replace all four front control arms as part of the same upgrade. The components feature a black powder-coated finish for a clean appearance and added surface protection. The control arm set is also made in the USA.
Replacing the upper and lower control arms together gives builders a matched suspension package. The set combines CPP's tubular construction with billet chromoly cross shafts, secure bushing pivots, coil spring mounts, ball joints, bushings, and lower bump stops.
For owners of 1967-69 Camaro and Firebird models or 1968-74 Nova models, the CPP Totally Tubular™ TCA6774B control arm set offers a practical way to upgrade the front suspension with modern tubular components. Its heavy-duty DOM construction, secure spring mounts, billet chromoly cross shafts, included hardware, and complete upper-and-lower design make it a strong choice for enthusiasts who want to replace their factory-style control arms with a performance-focused suspension package.
