The Blackhawk Heavy Duty Upper Control Arm kit (UCA3841TV2) suits the Toyota Landcruiser 200 Series (2007-2021) and is specified for vehicles running a 2000kg front axle GVM upgrade, correcting the caster and camber angles that shift once ride height and axle rating change. Reinforced ball joints and greasable bushings replace the factory rubber-bushed arm, keeping steering feel predictable under constant towing loads. Fitted alongside a Blackhawk4x4 lift kit, this arm brings geometry back within factory tolerance instead of leaving your 200 Series running compromised angles. Backed by manufacturer warranty, dispatched from Australian stock, with fitment support from our in-house team.

This kit is a control arm, not a spring, but geometry and spring rate work together — choose your coil springs based on constant accessory load before fitting this arm, so the finished ride height and alignment settings only need setting once. Common front accessories affecting spring choice include bull bars and winches; common rear accessories include dual battery trays, drawer systems, canopies and van/camper trailer tow ball weight. If you carry a heavy constant load, consider airbag suspension to fine-tune rear ride height under variable loads.
Fitting this upper control arm involves removing the factory arm, installing the Blackhawk4x4 unit and torquing to the manufacturer's specification — professional fitment or an experienced DIY installer with a hoist is recommended. A wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to set caster, camber and toe within factory-spec range. Re-check bolt torque and alignment after a 500km bedding-in period. Pairing this arm with other control arm upgrades at the rear, or with new shocks and springs, gives you one alignment job instead of several.
Blackhawk4x4 builds suspension componentry specifically for popular Australian 4WD platforms like the 200 Series, focusing on the geometry problems created once a vehicle is lifted. This upper control arm is backed by manufacturer warranty and held in Australian stock for fast dispatch. You can view the full Blackhawk4x4 range to match this arm with a complete lift kit for your 200 Series.
This arm suits 200 Series owners who've already fitted, or plan to fit, a 2" to 3" lift and need factory-correct steering geometry restored — towing setups, remote-area tourers and daily-driven family wagons alike. Tradespeople running a bull bar, winch and canopy combination benefit from the reinforced ball joint under constant load, and those adding airbag suspension for variable payloads will still need correct upper arm geometry to keep tyre wear even.
In stock in Australia and ready for fast dispatch, with our team on hand to confirm fitment for your 200 Series build. Browse our full lift kit range to plan the rest of your suspension upgrade.

Yes, this Blackhawk4x4 upper control arm suits Toyota Landcruiser 200 Series wagons built 2007 to 2021, across GXL, VX, Sahara and GX variants using the standard IFS front end. It's designed to bolt into the factory upper mounting points. If you're unsure about a specific build date or engine variant, use our parts finder for the 200 Series or contact our team before ordering.
This upper control arm does not add lift on its own — it corrects the caster and camber angles that shift once you fit a 2" to 3" lift kit. If you need actual ride height, pair it with a Blackhawk4x4 lift kit or raised coil springs. Running this arm without a lift is unnecessary; it's built specifically to restore geometry on already-lifted 200 Series wagons.
You get two Blackhawk4x4 heavy duty upper control arms (left and right hand) with reinforced ball joints pre-fitted and greasable bushings complete with grease nipples. Mounting hardware and fitting bolts are included, along with fitment instructions. Lower control arms, shocks, springs and lift kit hardware are sold separately.
Yes. The reinforced ball joint and high-strength steel arm are built to handle the extra operating angle and load that towing and touring put through the front suspension of a lifted 200 Series. Correct caster after fitting this arm also keeps steering more stable under a loaded tow ball weight. For heavy constant loads, pairing with airbag suspension at the rear helps keep the whole vehicle level.
If you've fitted, or plan to fit, a 2" or greater lift to your 200 Series, an upper control arm upgrade is recommended. The factory arm's ball joint has a limited working angle, and running it beyond factory ride height accelerates ball joint and CV wear. This Blackhawk4x4 arm is built with the extra angle in mind, restoring correct caster and camber instead of leaving the factory geometry compromised.
Yes, a wheel alignment is mandatory after installing this upper control arm. Caster, camber and toe all need to be reset to factory-spec range once the new arm is torqued in place. We recommend a follow-up alignment check after a 500km bedding-in period as well.
This is a control arm kit and doesn't include springs, so spring rate selection is a separate decision. Browse our coil spring range and choose a rating that matches your constant accessory load — bull bar and winch up front, canopy, drawers or dual battery at the rear. Our team can help match spring rate to this control arm and your lift height.
This arm doesn't add lift itself, but correcting caster and camber after a 2" to 3" lift kit typically improves clearance consistency for larger tyres already fitted to a lifted 200 Series. Actual tyre clearance depends on the lift height, wheel offset and tyre size you're running, so check specific tyre and rim combinations with our fitment team before ordering.
This Blackhawk4x4 upper control arm is backed by manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects. It's dispatched from our Australian stock, and our team can talk you through warranty terms and registration before you buy. Keep your invoice as proof of purchase for any warranty claim.
Yes. Restoring correct caster and camber after a lift is exactly what keeps a 200 Series predictable for daily driving, not just off-road use. The reinforced ball joint and greasable bushing are built for everyday load-bearing use, including commuting, school runs and regular towing, not just occasional touring trips.
