The Blackhawk Upper Control Arm for the Nissan Navara D22 (1997-2015) corrects castor and camber angles after fitting a 2" or higher lift kit, using heavy-duty ball joints and greasable polyurethane bushings for long service life. Correct geometry reduces tyre scrubbing, sharpens steering feel, and increases available wheel travel on rough tracks. Check exact fitment for your build using our Navara parts finder or pair it with our coil springs for a complete front-end upgrade. Australian stock, manufacturer warranty, and expert fitment support included.

This upper control arm is a geometry-correction component, not a spring, so it doesn't have its own load rating. Spring rate choice depends on your front-end accessory load — bull bars, winches, driving lights and steel bumpers all add weight that a firmer coil spring can better support. Speak with our team about matching a front coil spring rate from our suspension components range to your accessory load before or alongside fitting these arms.
Fitting a D22 upper control arm involves removing the factory arm, transferring or replacing the ball joint, and torquing new mounting bolts to factory specification — this is a job for an experienced DIY fitter with a workshop press or a 4WD suspension specialist. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting, since the new arm changes castor and camber settings. Allow a 500km settling period for the polyurethane bushings to bed in before a final alignment check. If you're also replacing worn lower arms, browse our full control arm range for matching components.
Blackhawk4x4 builds suspension components specifically for popular Australian 4WD and ute platforms, including the Navara D22, rather than adapting generic parts. Each arm ships with a manufacturer's warranty and is backed by our Australian-based fitment support team, who can confirm compatibility against your exact D22 build before you order. You can view the full Blackhawk4x4 range to see how this control arm fits into a complete lift package.
This control arm suits D22 owners who've already fitted, or plan to fit, a 2" or higher lift and want the steering geometry and tyre wear corrected properly rather than left out of spec. It's a common upgrade for tradespeople running heavier front accessories and tourers covering long corrugated distances. Owners carrying constant rear payload should also look at our airbag suspension options to level the vehicle front to rear.
These Blackhawk upper control arms are in stock in Australia and dispatch fast from our warehouse, with our team on hand to confirm fitment for your specific D22 build and lift height before you buy.

Yes, this Blackhawk upper control arm is built specifically for the Nissan Navara D22, covering 1997-2015 petrol and diesel models. It's a direct bolt-in replacement using the factory upper mounting points, so no cutting or drilling is needed. If you're unsure which D22 variant you have, our team can confirm fitment before you order.
This control arm doesn't add lift itself — it corrects the castor and camber angles that shift once you've already fitted a 2" or higher front lift kit. It's designed to be run alongside a lift kit, not as a standalone height increase. If you haven't lifted your D22 yet, browse our lift kit range first, then add this arm to correct the resulting geometry change.
You get a pair of Blackhawk upper control arms for the D22, left and right, each fitted with a heavy-duty greaseable ball joint and greasable polyurethane bushings. Mounting hardware is included. Shock absorbers, coil springs and lower control arms are sold separately.
Yes, correcting upper control arm geometry helps keep steering predictable when the front end is under load from a bull bar, winch or heavier bumper. For towing specifically, rear spring rate matters more than the upper control arm, so pair this with a rear leaf spring or airbag setup rated for your constant load. Our team can help match rear spring rate to your typical towing weight.
If your D22 is running a 2" or higher lift, an upgraded upper control arm is generally needed to bring castor and camber back within a workable range. Leaving factory arms in place at that lift height typically causes uneven tyre wear and reduced steering feel. Under 2" of lift, most D22s can usually manage without this upgrade, but it's worth checking with our fitment team.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting these upper control arms, since the new arm changes your castor and camber settings. We recommend an initial alignment straight after fitting and a follow-up check after a 500km bedding-in period. Skipping alignment will lead to uneven tyre wear even with the correct control arm installed.
This is a control arm, not a spring, so it doesn't come in different rates itself. Spring rate is selected separately through our coil springs range, based on the weight of accessories fitted to your D22 like bull bars and winches. Our team can help you pick a front coil spring rate to run alongside this control arm.
This control arm improves wheel travel and reduces geometry-related binding, which can help clearance at full articulation, but tyre size is mainly governed by your lift height and any flare or trimming work done separately. If you're planning larger tyres, tell our team your target size so we can confirm it works with your current or planned lift height.
This Blackhawk4x4 upper control arm is covered by the manufacturer's warranty against material and workmanship defects. We handle warranty claims through our Australian team, so you're not dealing with an overseas supplier directly. Keep your invoice as proof of purchase for any warranty claim.
Yes, this control arm is designed to restore factory-like steering feel and tyre wear patterns on a lifted D22 used for daily driving, not just off-road work. The greasable polyurethane bushings and heavy-duty ball joints are built for regular use, not just occasional touring. Many Navara D22 owners run this arm as their everyday tow and commute setup once lifted.
