Improve your 2016+ Chevrolet Camaro suspension performance and looks with upper control arms from #BMR Suspension. Installation on my 2021 Camaro ZL1 with a comparison between the BMR & OEM part.
This video applies to all 3 variations of the BMR Upper Control Arms for the 6th Gen #Camaro with only a minor tweak needed for the adjustable versions in sizing the #uppercontrolarms to match the OEM parts which is not done with the non-adjustable version.
From the BMR website:
Launching harder, reducing wheel hop, and adding cornering consistency to your 2016-newer Chevrolet Camaro is easy with upper control arm arms from BMR Suspension. Stock stamped steel trailing arms with soft rubber bushings deflect under load and absorb power instead of transferring it to the tires. BMR’s polyurethane, non-adjustable control arms for Camaros (UTCA061) are manufactured from heavy-duty 1×1.5-inch boxed steel tubing. The open end is formed from CNC laser cut, CNC formed 3/16-inch steel plate. This design gives you a strong control arm that greatly improves performance. Greasable, 95-durometer bushings add a solid, more responsive feel over the stock rubber bushings. BMR’s bushings are internally fluted, which allows grease to evenly coat the inner sleeve. These flutes also direct grease to the outer edge of the bushing, keeping the thrust surface lubricated. This efficient lubrication ensures quiet, reliable operation over the life of the bushings.
