The Blackhawk UCA3881H upper control arm kit delivers 3 degrees of caster increase for lifted Toyota Hilux N70 (KUN, 2005-2015), N80 (GUN, 2015-on) and Fortuner models, restoring the geometry factory arms lose after a 2" or 3" lift. Each arm arrives with a pre-fitted heavy-duty ball joint and rubber bushing, bolting straight to factory mounting points with no drilling. Running a milder 1" to 2" lift? The touring-spec UCA3881H-TOUR gives 1 degree of correction instead. Check exact fitment for your build using our Hilux parts finder.

Caster requirements shift with lift height and front-end accessory weight — a Hilux on 3" front coil springs with a steel bull bar sits further out of factory caster than one on a 2" lift with no accessories. Confirm your front lift height and accessory weight before ordering so our team can check that the 1-3 degree correction range suits your setup. Common front-end additions affecting this include steel bull bars (30-50kg), winches (15-30kg), and driving light bars.
Fitting these upper control arms is a bolt-on job for an experienced DIY installer with a hoist and press, though we recommend a qualified 4WD suspension fitter given the ball joint torque specs involved. A four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to reset caster, camber and toe to specification. Allow a 500km bedding-in period for the bushings before a final alignment check. For a full geometry correction at ride height, pair these arms with matched shock absorbers tuned for your lift height.
Blackhawk builds control arms specifically for popular Australian 4WD platforms like the Hilux N70/N80 and Fortuner, addressing the geometry changes those vehicles see after a lift. Every kit is backed by a manufacturer warranty and supported by our in-house fitment team, who can check caster correction against your lift height and accessory load before you order. Browse the full lift kit range to see spring and shock options that pair with this arm.
This kit suits Hilux and Fortuner owners running a 2" or 3" lift who need factory-correct caster back for stable highway steering — tradies covering long highway kays, tourers running heavier bull bars and winches, and anyone who has noticed wander or uneven front tyre wear since fitting a lift. If you're also carrying constant rear load for a camper or caravan, look at airbag suspension to manage rear sag alongside this front-end correction.

Yes — this Blackhawk upper control arm is built for Toyota Hilux N70 (2005-2015), N80 (2015-2022) and Fortuner across the same production run. Fitment is to the factory upper mounting points on both 2WD and 4WD variants across the listed engines. If you're unsure of your exact build, check compatibility using our Hilux N80 parts finder or contact our team with your VIN.
This control arm does not add lift on its own — it corrects the caster angle by 1 to 3 degrees after you've already fitted a 2" or 3" lift kit. Without corrected caster, a lifted Hilux or Fortuner can develop steering wander and uneven front tyre wear. This kit brings caster back toward factory-plus specification once your suspension is at its new ride height.
You get 2 x Blackhawk upper control arms (left and right), each with a pre-fitted heavy-duty ball joint and rubber bushing, plus the mounting hardware needed for the factory chassis points. Lower control arms, coil springs, shocks and wheel alignment are not included. See the full kit contents list on this page for exact quantities.
Correcting caster improves straight-line stability and reduces steering wander at highway speed, which is useful when towing a trailer or caravan. This arm doesn't change your vehicle's load rating — for constant rear load from towing, pair it with leaf springs or airbag suspension rated for your accessory weight.
If you've fitted a 2" or 3" lift, factory upper control arms typically can't correct the caster change on their own — this is exactly what this kit is designed to fix. Lifts under 2" may not need correction, so check with our team before ordering if you're running a smaller lift. Running the vehicle without correction after a larger lift can accelerate front tyre wear.
Yes, a four-wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting these control arms to reset caster, camber and toe to specification. We recommend booking the alignment straight after installation and rechecking it after a 500km bushing bedding-in period. Skipping alignment will leave the caster correction unset and can cause uneven tyre wear.
This control arm kit is sold separately from coil springs, so you can pair it with whatever front spring rate suits your accessory load — standard, medium or heavy-duty. Our team can help match spring rate to bull bar, winch and driving light weight before you order. Browse the coil spring range for options that suit this platform.
This control arm corrects steering geometry rather than adding clearance, so tyre fitment is governed by your lift height and wheel offset, not this kit. Correcting caster does keep steering feel accurate as you run larger tyres and more unsprung weight. Talk to our team about tyre and rim combinations that suit your existing lift height.
This Blackhawk upper control arm is covered by the manufacturer's warranty against manufacturing defects in the arm, ball joint and bushing. If an issue comes up, our Australian-based team handles the warranty claim directly with you. Keep your invoice as proof of purchase for any warranty request.
Yes — correcting caster is specifically what makes a lifted Hilux or Fortuner feel normal to drive daily, restoring steering return and reducing wander compared to a lifted vehicle with uncorrected geometry. It's a common upgrade for owners who use their 4WD for daily commuting as well as towing and touring. Combine it with a wheel alignment for the best on-road result.
