Anyone make good aftermarket upper control arms, billet aluminum, stainless? Nothing complex with adjustments.

Thank you!

Seems all the aftermarket arms have adjustability. I have an extra set of upper arms if you're interested. I was going to refurb them with poly bushings and powder coat but I have an additional set I'm going to use.

I'm just looking for aftermarket, stainless or billet aluminum.
Thank you!

I don't think anyone makes aftermarket front upper control arms WITHOUT adjustability. Your options are restored OEM arms, DPI adjustable uppers, or the adjustable Mustang uppers that a few have been working with, though it appears those require the knuckles to be tapered larger to accommodate the ball joints used.

The original uppers aren't bad, unless you are really slammed and you need the camber adjustments.

I got all the suspension arms in stainless from DPI, front upper/lower, radius, real links upper/lower. There is some slight adjustability in the upper ball joint, you can move it slightly in and out before bolting it down.

I think most the vendors have billet aluminum lower arms, I don't know about uppers. I would just worry about getting mercury or gallium on them. It's probably very unlikely to happen, but you never know. Whichever you go with, I would steer clear of DMCH. You don't want to mix their poor quality with your suspension.
