BLACKHAWK UPPER CONTROL ARM KIT - TOYOTA PRADO 250 SERIES
The new heavy duty Roadsafe "Blackhawk" range of Upper Control Arms have been designed with ease of fitment & ongoing serviceability in mind, & are a necessity for various IFS models that have been lifted 30mm+.
The Roadsafe "BLACKHAWK" arms have been designed to restore camber & caster lost on IFS vehicles once they have been lifted, by correcting the angle of the ball joint. Without restored camber & caster settings lifted IFS vehicles will eventually show excessive tyre wear & experience ride & steering issues.
With greater radius & tube sizing to suit per application, the design allows clearance of the coils, during articulation, with the outer radius also adjusted to allow for the fitment (in some cases) of 35" tyres without the issue of the of the tyres rubbing on the arms during full lock.
Manufactured in Heavy Duty 32mm OD (6mm wall thickness) STKM13A Carbon Steel Tube, for optimum strength without putting too much additional weight onboard.
We haven't gone with a complicated ball joint or bushing setup, they have been designed to take on the OEM spec componentry.
Blackhawk Upper Arms are designed with 3 degrees fixed caster & optimally suited to lifts of 30-70mm, finished in dual layer coating including black e-coat & gloss black powder coat for maximum durability, rust protection & discreet installation.
Designed to maximise clearance and travel, while giving 3 degrees of caster to suit 50-70mm lift, with bonded rubber bushes and to take the factory ball joint for maximum reliability.
Blackhawk 4×4 have identified a requirement for a program supplying replacement Upper control arm’s (UCA) that are fitted to a wide range of late model IFS vehicles. As a result we have developed the Blackhawk program – a product that will bolt in with marked improvements over the OE design.
