I checked this part number today at my dealership.

 

I was told that the part is NOW a ship direct part and there is no vender for the part.

 

Meaning that the people that where making the part for GM either folded, closed or discontinuned the part.

 

Someone might buy the tooling or they might restart manufactoring them

 

But, if you see a set for sale and you dont have a set Id buy them

Just as a side note, the Moog arms I just bought arrived last week, and they are the u-bend arms, NOT tubular arms. That being said, they look a lot more solid than the stock arms, and the bushings were my biggest concern anyway.

i have a 1 year old set of gmpp tubular arms just sitting here doing nothing :lol:

 

 

 

want to get rid of them? :mrgreen:

 

So I just got my second order cancellation on these, from gmbuyparts.com this time.

 

Does anyone have any experience with the w-body store arms? they list them as tubular but have 5 of the same pic of u-channel arms.

 

I'm not spending $130 on BMR arms..

BMR arms are fucking beefy! Stock tire size I only have 1/2 clearance. I love em though.

 

Which stock tire size? I'm running 245/50s on TGP crosslaces.. they are pretty wide motherfuckers.

I doubt the 245/50's would clear then...unless you had some 1/4 or 1/2" spacers

I just stopped by the Chevy dealer as well, he checked with GM's automated line and it said something to the effect of "This part is not available from the source." He did tell me that the computer showed two dealers with them in stock, in Wisconsin and Maine... so I'm gonna give a Maine dealer a call and see if they'll ship.

I meant to post this, but while the GMPP arms are not presently available. Impala Police trailing arms are.

 

GM part number: 15856683, and you need 2 of them.

 

they are square stock rather then tubular, I have a set that I just bought for another member and they seem just as good as the GMPP ones were. I don't have pictures now as I am at work, but they should be a suitable replacement.

earlier Police impalas seemed to have the GMPP "Style" however in my research I could not find a part number listing, eventually I found the part number for individual round GMPP style arms individually, but they are cost prohibitive to buy at $50 each wheras these run about $30 each.

I ordered them for a 2005 Police impala.

 

sorry for the crappy picture in advance.

they feel plenty solid, and when they are laid on top of a factory stamped steel bar they line up just fine, so while the GMPP arms are probably gone, at least we have these.
