I've seen ads for mass-produced tubular arms for Mopars in the past year or so, can't remember where I saw the ad though.

The only company that I know of right now is Magnum Force Fabrications, BUT, their claim is that they designed their arms to correct caster gain in lowered street and drag cars. That's probably counter-productive for what you're trying to accomplish.

Er...sorry, make that camber gain.

I have seen the ads for the uppers to but if I remember correctly they were about 250.00 ea. not good for a car that gets bumped around on the track. you could make your own easaly by useing rodends (hiem joints) for the pivot points. use rount tube of the corect size (dom tubing) thread one end for the rodend, use a stock upper as a template and bend the tube so that the rodend is streight and the other end meets at the balljoint. make or buy a threaded sleve to acept the balljoint and weld the tube to the sleve. you can make a longer one for the left side and a shorter one for the right side for proper camber.also some ajustment for caster and camber can be made by screwing the rodends in or out (make sure you use a jam nut).they would be strong lite and highly adjustable. good luck
