Installation Guide for Blackhawk Upper Control Arms (UCA3841T) to Suit Toyota Land Cruiser:
- Unwrap your Blackhawk UCAs and ensure they are a matching left & right pair, complete with OE rubber spec bushings and HD greasable ball joints pre-fitted.
- Securely raise the vehicle on a hoist or jack stands. Remove the front wheels.
- Using a 10mm socket/spanner, remove the ABS lines from the OE UCA mounting points.
- Remove the sway bar link from the spindle.
- Remove the split pin from the upper ball joint. Loosen the ball joint nut using a 19mm socket to the end of the thread—but do not remove the nut. Strike the side of the spindle to loosen the ball joint taper.
- Support the lower arm to prevent over-extension of the driveshafts when disassembled.
- Use a 21mm spanner to remove the large UCA pivot bolt from the chassis mount as per the vehicle service manual, noting the order of components. Keep the OE fitting hardware for re-fitment.
- Tools Required:
- 3/8 ratchet
- 21mm socket
- 19mm socket
- 10mm socket/spanner
- Mallet
Note:
- The heavy-duty ball joints on Blackhawk UCAs are hard to hard style and require regular greasing. Ensure you grease the ball joints at fitment and at regular service intervals.
Installation Steps:
- Fit the Blackhawk UCA into the chassis mount, ensuring the ball joint is oriented towards the back of the vehicle. Reuse the OE pivot bolt, bush washers & nut. Leave the bolt loose until the vehicle is back on the ground, then tighten to factory specs (115Nm).
- Guide the ball joint taper into the spindle and tighten to factory specifications (110Nm).
- Refit the ABS lines to the tabs welded to the Blackhawk UCA using supplied fitting hardware.
- Refit the sway bar link to the spindle.
- Repeat the removal and reinstallation process on the opposite side.
- Cycle the suspension to ensure all components clear properly. Ensure ABS lines are free from pinching and not over-extended at full droop.
- Grease ball joints before driving—remove Blackhawk 4x4 dust cap, apply quality bearing grease, and reinstall dust cap.
- Check all components have been refitted and tightened to factory specs. Ensure a new split pin has been installed into the upper ball joint if required. Re-check tensions after driving 1000 kilometers.
- Wheel align the vehicle with a qualified wheel aligner to complete the installation process.
