Where OME's existing arm for these trucks is tubular steel, this one is forged and machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and hard anodized in gray to match the rest of the OME suspension line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy you would want one\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLift an independent front suspension and the factory upper arm ends up at the wrong angle. Alignment gets harder to hit, tires wear faster, and the arm can start to crowd a bigger coilover or tire. A corrected upper arm fixes the geometry so the alignment shop can actually get your numbers back where they belong, and it opens up clearance for larger coilovers and tires. OME rates this arm for lifts up to 3 inches and notes it allows more suspension travel when it is paired with longer coilovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is different about this arm\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bushings are free-pivoting and sealed in a self-lubricating housing, using a dual 85-durometer poly compound. OME says they are a touch firmer than stock but ride quietly. The ball joint is a recessed, sealed, high-articulation unit that OME describes as maintenance-free, so there is no grease schedule to keep up with. The forged billet construction keeps the weight down without giving up strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eARB's store lists one part number, UCA2001, for 2024-2026 Tacoma (SR, SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Off-Road, TRD PreRunner, Limited, Trailhunter, TRD Pro), 2024-2026 Land Cruiser (Base, 1958, First Edition) and 2025-2027 4Runner (SR5, TRD Sport, TRD Sport Premium, TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, Limited, Platinum, TRD Pro). It is designed for lifted trucks; on a stock-height truck it does not buy you much.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHonest trade-offs and install notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a premium arm and priced like one. If you just need geometry correction, OME's tubular arm for these trucks does that job too; the billet arm is about the sealed, no-grease ball joint, the bushing design and the finish. ARB's listing does not spell out whether a unit is one arm or a left\/right set, and the product photos show a pair, so ask us before ordering if you need to confirm. It is currently a pre-order item at ARB, so expect it to ship when ARB releases stock rather than right away. Plan on a wheel alignment after installation, and have the work done by someone comfortable with IFS suspension.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Old Man Emu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58810257375535,"sku":"UCA2001","price":999.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0861\/5113\/5535\/files\/old-man-emu-forged-billet-upper-control-arm-uca2001__04959.1789023819.webp?v=1794238377","url":"https:\/\/nvmos.com\/products\/old-man-emu-forged-billet-upper-control-arm-uca2001","provider":"NVMOS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
