Just wanting some recommendations on strut rods and upper control arms for my 65 valiant, race car. I plan to replace the struts and the Upper control arms and will start looking for parts soon. I want to eliminate any binding and help the car with lift and weight transfer. So I figure I will go to a Heim joint style UCA and strut. Would you go with an aluminum strut? Any brand rcommendations? Same with the UCA recommendations?

Thanks! Rick

I bought heim joint end uca's for Grüne Hölle..
I got them from Reilly Motorsports.. RMS


Good parts.

I have stock stuff in Ruster.
Weight transfer is probably more in the shock tuning and rear springs and if you go to a stick things might be different still.

That is the ones I was looking at also. Heims have to help with free movement too.

Then it will be shocks... Then it will be springs.....Then and then.....

Reilly makes excellent stuff. If they don't make UCAs any more, go to Firmfeel next.

You can get alum strut rods + heims (mancini?) and they are strong enough (even for my 64 Dart), but not super beefy. Actually, PM or email me because Mark C donated a set of alum struts to me and they are yours if you want them. Brand new.

RMS still shows adjustable (Heims) upper control arms for $349 a pair
