When you install a lift kit on your Navara D40 or NP300, the factory upper control arms reach the limit of their adjustment range, often resulting in insufficient castor angle. This causes poor steering feel, increased tyre wear on the inside edge, and wandering at highway speeds. Blackhawk Upper Control Arms are specifically engineered with extended adjustment to restore factory-correct geometry even with 50-75mm lift heights, ensuring your upgraded suspension performs as intended.
Professional installation by a qualified suspension specialist is strongly recommended to ensure correct fitment, torque specifications, and safety. After fitting these control arms, a full four-wheel alignment is mandatory to set castor, camber, and toe to manufacturer specifications and unlock the full performance benefits. A 500km settling period is recommended before final alignment tweaks. For best results, pair these upper control arms with quality upgraded coil springs and matched shock absorbers for a balanced front-end upgrade.

Backed by comprehensive warranty and trusted by tourers, tradespeople, and 4WD enthusiasts nationwide, the full Blackhawk4x4 range represents exceptional value without compromising durability or performance.
Blackhawk Upper Control Arms are ideal for Navara owners who have already fitted a suspension lift and need to restore proper handling and alignment, particularly those who regularly tow caravans, camper trailers, or heavy work loads. Tourers heading remote will appreciate the improved steering precision and reduced driver fatigue on long corrugated tracks. If you're running constant heavy accessories or planning extended outback trips, consider pairing these control arms with airbag suspension for the ultimate load-levelling and ride quality solution.

Yes, this Blackhawk upper control arm kit is designed to fit all Nissan Navara D40 models from 2005-2015 and NP300 models from 2015 to current.

If you're unsure about your specific model or have made aftermarket modifications, please contact our team for confirmation before ordering.
Yes, upper control arms are highly recommended when you install a lift kit of 50mm or higher on your Navara D40 or NP300. Factory control arms have limited adjustment range and cannot restore correct castor angle once the vehicle is lifted, resulting in poor steering feel, wandering at highway speeds, and premature tyre wear. Blackhawk Upper Control Arms are specifically designed with extended geometry to correct these issues and restore factory handling characteristics on lifted vehicles.
This kit includes two heavy-duty upper control arms (left and right) with pre-installed high-grade polyurethane bushings and greasable ball joints for extended service life. All mounting hardware, fasteners, and detailed installation instructions with torque specifications are provided. The control arms feature a corrosion-resistant black powder coat finish designed for Australian conditions. Everything you need for a complete front upper control arm replacement is included in the box.
Absolutely. These Blackhawk Upper Control Arms are engineered from high-tensile steel with reinforced ball joint mounts to handle the additional loads from towing caravans, camper trailers, and heavy work trailers. By restoring correct castor angle, they improve steering stability and reduce wandering when towing, making highway and touring travel significantly safer and less fatiguing. The heavy-duty construction and premium bushings maintain alignment accuracy even under sustained heavy loads across corrugated roads and remote touring routes.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing upper control arms. The alignment specialist will set castor, camber, and toe angles to manufacturer specifications, ensuring optimal handling, steering response, and tyre wear. Without proper alignment, you will not achieve the performance benefits these control arms are designed to deliver. We recommend returning for a final alignment check after 500km of driving to account for any settling of the new bushings and components.
While experienced home mechanics with proper tools can install these control arms, we strongly recommend professional installation by a qualified suspension specialist or 4WD workshop. The installation requires spring compressors, torque wrenches, ball joint separators, and safe working-at-height equipment. Incorrect installation can result in component failure or dangerous handling characteristics. A professional workshop will also perform the mandatory wheel alignment immediately after fitment, ensuring your Navara is safe to drive and performs as intended.
These upper control arms restore correct suspension geometry on lifted vehicles, which indirectly supports larger tyre fitment by maintaining proper wheel alignment and clearance. However, maximum tyre size is primarily determined by your lift kit height, guard clearance, and offset wheels rather than the control arms themselves. Most Navara D40 and NP300 owners with 50-75mm lift kits can comfortably run 32-33 inch tyres with these control arms fitted. For specific tyre fitment advice based on your exact setup, please contact our suspension experts.
Blackhawk4x4 stands behind their products with a comprehensive manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. The specific warranty period and terms are provided with your purchase documentation. As with all suspension components, warranty coverage requires professional installation with correct torque specifications and regular maintenance including greasing of ball joints. 4WD Suspension Australia is an authorised Blackhawk dealer and can assist with any warranty queries or claims throughout the ownership period.
Yes, these Blackhawk Upper Control Arms are ideal for daily driving and deliver improved on-road manners compared to a lifted Navara running factory control arms. You'll notice sharper steering response, reduced highway wander, better braking stability, and a more confident feel through corners and roundabouts. The polyurethane bushings provide a slightly firmer feel than rubber but are not harsh or uncomfortable for daily commuting. Thousands of Australian tradies and commuters run these control arms on their daily-driven Navaras with excellent results.
While these upper control arms can be fitted as a standalone upgrade, you'll achieve best results when they're part of a complete suspension system matched to your vehicle's use. If your existing shocks, springs, or steering dampers are worn or not rated for your lift height, now is an ideal time to upgrade those components as well. Many Navara owners pair these control arms with upgraded coil springs, quality shock absorbers, and a heavy-duty steering damper for a comprehensive front-end upgrade. Our team can recommend a complete package based on your budget and intended use.
Proper gear for serious outback work
Been running these Blackhawk upper control arms on my NP300 for about 8 months now, including a Cape York trip and plenty of corrugated Simpson Desert tracks.

Build quality is genuinely heavy duty – you can see it's engineered for Australian conditions, not just another budget option that'll fold under load.(5)
