GTO upper and lower control arms
Have been reading the different options for the rear control arms for my 66 GTO (search function) but have not seen anything on UMI. Has anyone used there set up in the rear?............................................. ...........................Mark

PT 79 I'm sorry I meant Spherical ball assembly with Delrin bushings. I think they would eliminated any bind while preloading the rear. Mark

I have all UMI lower and upper control arms on my 66 post. Also went with the adjustable. They fit great. Now, when I bought mine, I called UMI explained what I had, and they gave me the correct part numbers which I used for ordering. They also wanted to know if i upgraded the rear end, which I did. So, a call to them may be a lot of help. I also have a couple of guys I know who use their stuff on Pontiac's. Nice people to deal with, and they seem to enjoy taking time to chat and get things clear.

I have PMT lower control arms, and they're great. Well made, reasonably priced, made in the USA, and very good customer service. I'll get my uppers from them after the economy improves (hurry up 2012!!!).
