ARB OME 98-07 Toyota Land Cruiser Base Upper Control Arms (Pair) - Black

If you're lifting your 1998-2007 Toyota Land Cruiser by about 2 inches, you'll want to consider these Base Upper Control Arms from ARB's Old Man Emu (OME) line. These arms are crucial for maintaining proper wheel alignment after a lift kit is installed. They connect your Land Cruiser's frame to the steering knuckle, controlling how the wheels move and ensuring they point in the right direction for stable handling both on and off the pavement.

ARB OME designed these control arms to bring your alignment cams back into a usable range, specifically offering up to +2.5 degrees of caster and -1.5 degrees of camber when you've got a 2-inch lift. This is important because lifting a vehicle can throw off your alignment angles, leading to uneven tire wear and poor handling. The arms feature a strong tubular design with forged eyelets and ball joint housings for durability. They also use a free-pivoting, grease and maintenance-free GIIRO bushing, which is a nice touch for reducing upkeep. Plus, they come with a heavy-duty, greaseable ball joint that has a protective cap to keep dirt out, and mounting provisions for your original ABS lines.

After installing these upper control arms, a professional wheel alignment is definitely required to get everything dialed in. It's also a good idea to check your fender clearance, especially if you're running aftermarket tires and wheels. These arms are a solid option for Land Cruiser owners looking to properly set up their suspension after a lift.
