The Blackhawk Upper Control Arm kit (SKU UCA5251P) suits the Nissan Patrol Y62 (2010-ON) and uses forged arms with adjustable rod ends to correct caster and camber once your Patrol is raised. Fitted as a pair, they extend the alignment range past what the factory upper arms allow, reducing uneven tyre wear and vague steering feel at highway speed. Run them alongside a set of raised coil springs or a full lift kit and your alignment shop can dial the geometry back to factory tolerances. Dispatched from Australian stock with Blackhawk4x4 warranty and fitment support from our team.

Upper control arms don't carry load themselves, but the front spring rate you run affects how much correction these arms need to provide. Heavier front-end accessories push the front down and change the caster/camber angle further from factory, so tell your alignment shop what's fitted before setting the arms. Common accessories that shift front geometry include bull bars, winches, bash plates and driving light bars.
Fitment is a bolt-in job at the existing upper mounting points, but we recommend an experienced 4WD workshop or wheel alignment specialist handle the install and final adjustment. Wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting — the adjustable rod ends need to be set to bring caster and camber back within Nissan's specification for the Y62. Allow a 500km settling period before a final alignment check, as bushes and joints bed in under load. If you're also lifting the vehicle, pair this kit with matching lower control arms for full geometry correction.
Blackhawk4x4 builds control arms and lift components specifically for popular Australian 4WD platforms, including the Nissan Patrol Y62. Components are backed by a manufacturer warranty and supported by our Australian-based fitment team who can talk you through spec before you order.

This kit suits Y62 Patrol owners who've already lifted their vehicle with coil springs or a lift kit and are chasing correct alignment and reduced tyre wear. It's a common upgrade for tourers running a loaded roof rack or bull bar, and for tradies carrying a canopy and tools. If you're running a constant heavy rear load on top of a lift, also look at airbag suspension to keep rear ride height level.

Yes, this Blackhawk Upper Control Arm kit (SKU UCA5251P) is built specifically for the Nissan Patrol Y62, covering Ti and TI-L variants from 2010-ON fitted with the 5.6L V8 petrol engine. It's a direct bolt-in fit to the factory upper mounting points, no modification required. If you're unsure about your specific build, check our parts finder for the Patrol Y62 or contact our team with your rego or VIN.
No, this kit doesn't raise your Patrol's ride height by itself — that's the job of coil springs or a full lift kit. What this kit does is give you the adjustable range to correct caster and camber once the vehicle is already lifted, typically in the 2"-3" range. If you haven't lifted your Y62 yet, pair this with our raised coil springs first.
You get 2 x Blackhawk4x4 forged upper control arms (left and right), adjustable heim-style rod ends, greasable heavy-duty ball joints, mounting hardware and fitting instructions. Lower control arms, shocks and springs are sold separately, so check what else your Y62 needs at your lift height. Full item-by-item detail is listed in the Kit Includes section on this page.
Yes, correcting caster and camber with these arms improves steering stability and tyre contact, both of which matter when towing a van or trailer with the Y62. The arms themselves don't add load capacity, so if you're towing heavy or running constant rear load, look at matching rear spring or airbag upgrades too. Our team can help match the full setup to your towing weight.
It depends on your lift height and how far your current geometry is from factory specification. At moderate lift heights, upper arms alone are often enough to get caster and camber back in range, but at higher lifts lower arms may also need correction. Have your alignment shop measure current angles before deciding, and browse our full control arm range if lowers are needed.
Yes, wheel alignment is mandatory after installing these control arms. The adjustable rod ends need to be set by a qualified alignment technician to bring caster and camber back within Nissan's specification for your ride height. Skipping this step means uneven tyre wear and can affect steering feel and stability.
Yes, that's the main function of this kit — the rod ends are adjustable, giving your alignment shop a wider correction range than the fixed factory upper arms allow. This is what lets a lifted Y62 get back to close to factory caster and camber figures instead of running permanently out of spec. The exact settings will depend on your specific lift height and front-end accessory load.
These control arms correct alignment geometry rather than clearance, so tyre fitment depends on the lift kit and any trimming or spacers used alongside it, not the control arms alone. Correct camber from these arms does help avoid guard rub by keeping the tyre sitting straighter under the guard. Talk to our team about your target tyre size before finalising your lift package.
This kit is backed by Blackhawk4x4's manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. It's dispatched from local Australian stock, and our team can help with any warranty claims or fitment questions after purchase. Contact us through the contact page if you need warranty support.
Yes, correcting caster and camber with these arms is aimed at improving everyday steering feel and reducing tyre wear on a lifted daily-driven Y62, not just for touring. Once aligned correctly, the vehicle should track straighter and feel more predictable at highway speed than it does with the factory arms working outside their range. Regular greasing of the ball joints will keep them performing well for daily use.
