The new Roadsafe "BLACKHAWK" Upper Control Arms are engineered for straightforward installation and long-term reliability, essential for IFS models lifted 30mm or more. Designed to correct camber and caster angles lost during vehicle lifting, these arms prevent excessive tire wear and enhance ride quality and steering precision.

Featuring enhanced radius and tailored tube sizing for specific applications, the design ensures coil clearance during suspension articulation. The arms are crafted from robust 32mm OD (6mm wall thickness) STKM13A Carbon Steel Tube, balancing strength with minimal added weight.

Features:

• Angled Ball Joint Aperture for improved articulation.
• Repositioned Ball Joint Aperture for 3 degrees increased caster.
• Maintained Camber with repositioned Ball Joint Aperture.
• OE Spec Ball Joint Aperture accommodates standard factory or aftermarket ball joints.
• Revised Internal and External Radius Bends enhance suspension articulation and allow for larger tire fitment.
• OE Spec Bushing Aperture supports standard factory or aftermarket bushings.
• Heavy Duty 32mm OD Tube (6mm wall) provides increased strength compared to factory arms.
• Powder Coat Finish with dual layers for superior protection and a sleek Gloss Black appearance.

To suit the following vehicle/make/model:

• Toyota Hilux KUN 2005+ 
• Toyota Hilux GUN 2016+
• Toyota Prado 120 series

Installation Guide:

1. Prepare for Installation:

   • Unwrap your Blackhawk UCA's, ensuring you have a matching left and right pair.
   • Securely raise your vehicle on a hoist or jack stands and remove the front wheels.

2. Dismantling the Old UCA:

   • Using a 12mm socket/spanner, detach the ABS lines from the OE UCA mounting points.
   • Remove the sway bar link from the spindle.
   • Loosen the upper ball joint nut with a 19mm socket and strike the spindle to release the ball joint taper.
   • Support the lower arm to prevent over-extension of the driveshaft.

3. Removing the UCA:

   • Use a 19mm spanner to remove the large UCA pivot bolt from the chassis mount as per the vehicle service manual. Adjust AC lines if needed for clearance.
   • Note the order of components for re-fitment.

4. Installing Blackhawk UCA:

   • Fit the Blackhawk UCA into the chassis mount, ensuring the ball joint is positioned towards the back of the vehicle.
   • Reuse OE pivot bolts and components, lubricating the bolt for smooth fitment.
   • Leave bolts loose until the vehicle is lowered, then tighten to factory specifications (115Nm).

5. Final Steps:

   • Use the supplied Shim kit to adjust any gap between the arm and the chassis as required.
   • Guide the ball joint taper into the spindle and tighten to factory specifications (110Nm).
   • Reattach ABS lines to the tabs welded to the Blackhawk UCA using supplied hardware.
   • Reinstall the sway bar link to the spindle.
   • Repeat the process for the opposite side.

6. Completion and Inspection:

   • Cycle the suspension to ensure all components clear properly.
   • Confirm ABS lines are free from pinching and not over-extended at full droop.
   • Grease ball joints thoroughly before driving; apply quality bearing grease and reinstall dust caps.
   • Double-check all components are securely fitted and tightened to factory specs.
   • If needed, install a new split pin into the upper ball joint and recheck after 1000 kilometers of driving.

7. Post-Installation:

   • Complete the installation with a wheel alignment by a qualified professional to ensure optimal performance.

Note:

• The heavy-duty ball joints installed in Blackhawk UCA's are designed in a robust, hard-to-hard style, necessitating periodic greasing. Please ensure you grease the ball joints during installation and at recommended service intervals to maintain optimal performance.
