1963-1982 Spreader Bar Shark Bite Aluminum Upper Control Arms Small Block
Spreader Bar for 1963-1967,1968-1982 Small Block Corvettes Equipped With Shark Bite Aluminum Upper Control Arms - Regain Control And Crisp Handling.
We are pleased to announce a
Spreader Bar for the SharkBite Corvette Small Block C2-C3 alloy upper control arms. With this important accessory it is now possible to stabilize and stiffen the crossmember for cars with SharkBite aluminum upper control arms.
The C2-C3 crossmember is notorious for the flimsy vertical attachment on the crossmember where the upper a-arm bolts on. This weak point allows the upright to settle and flex inward, adversely changing the suspension geometry. In addition, the front crossmember lower control arm attachment point is a focal point for fatigue and cracking of the mount.
With this new accessory owners can spread the sagging vertical mounts back to their proper upright position in minutes. This spreader bar fits on existing tapped holes in the
SharkBite upper a-arm alloy cross shaft. Installation takes about ten minutes, with normal hand tools - and once in place the bar can be easily adjusted to greatly stiffen and re-align the entire crossmember / upright suspension attachments. The front suspension will then be back to where it was designed to be positioned, and will resist flexing associated with cornering.
Kits come complete with durable black powder coated left and right fittings, mounting hardware and aluminum spreader bar with spherical rod ends. Fits all 1963-1967,1968-1982 Small Block equipped vehicles with the Shark Bite aluminum upper control arms.
