Adjustable Upper Control Arm

Description

When fitting a lift kit to an independent front suspension vehicle the original camber and caster specifications are pushed outside the acceptable limit. The vehicle loses Caster, this is the angle that identifies the forward or backward slope of a line that is drawn through the upper and lower steering pivot points, which causes the steering to be vague. Raising the ride height also introduces positive Camber, which is the inward or outward tilt of the tyre as viewed from the front of the vehicle, and contributes to uneven and accelerated tyre wear.

Although the camber and caster can be adjusted with the factory wheel alignment adjustment points the results are not ideal. The benefit of an Adjustable Upper Control Arm allows further adjustment to improve the wheel alignment to a more optimal setup.

In some cases, an Adjustable Upper Control Arm can be used to accommodate a larger wheel and tyre setup by altering the wheel alignment settings to improve clearance to suspension components or body work.
