Direct-fit upper A-arm compatible with R12/GT
This upper A-arm is a factory service-style replacement for the Yokomo R12/GT chassis range. It is meant for direct replacement of damaged or tired upper arms and supports common setup changes made during chassis tuning sessions. Below are details on fitment, installation, and its role in suspension setup.
Compatibility is limited to the listed R12/GT models. Always confirm your chassis code and alignment of mounting points prior to purchase to ensure proper fit.
Supported chassis: GT5-R35, GT5-SC430, GT3-REA, GT3-IS350, GT3-B4, GT3-CAX, GT3-BRZ, GT3-AHP, GT-B, GT5-R2, GT5-RS2.
Installation notes: Fit this A-arm using the chassis original fasteners and ball studs. Inspect the hinge pin and bushings while replacing and verify camber and toe after installation. Tighten hardware according to the vehicle manufacturer's torque specs and ensure the suspension travels without binding.
Tuning role: The upper arm impacts camber gain, roll center height, and steering return characteristics. Use this part to re-establish baseline geometry before fine adjustments to shocks, anti-roll bars, or steering links.
