Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why do I need aftermarket upper control arms on my lifted 4Runner or FJ Cruiser? When you install a suspension lift of 2 inches (50mm) or more on an Independent Front Suspension (IFS) vehicle, the original caster and camber geometry is pushed outside the factory adjustment limits. The OME UCA0004 corrects this geometry, bringing your alignment cams back into acceptable range to prevent uneven tire wear and restore responsive steering.

Do the Old Man Emu UCA0004 control arms require regular maintenance? The heavy-duty forged ball joints are greaseable and fully serviceable for a long lifespan. However, the unique GIIRO bushings at the frame mounts are free-pivoting, grease-free, and 100% maintenance-free.

Will these work with my factory ABS and brake lines? Yes. These control arms feature integrated mounting provisions specifically designed to securely route your factory ABS wires and brake lines.
