Blackhawk's Upper Control Arm with 3° caster correction is purpose-built for lifted Toyota Hilux N80 models (2015-on), restoring the steering angle lost after fitting a 2" to 3" suspension lift kit. Heavy-duty bushings and OEM+ pivot geometry correct caster to cut down on wandering steering and uneven tyre wear, and the bolt-in design pairs directly with your existing Blackhawk4x4 suspension range. Backed by an Australian warranty and dispatched from local stock, with our fitment team on hand if you need vehicle-specific advice.

This upper control arm is a fitment and geometry component, not a spring, so it doesn't change your front spring rate. If you're also selecting coil springs to go with a lift, base your rate on constant front-end accessory load such as a bull bar, winch, driving lights and bash plates, plus your lift height choice. Talk to our team about matching spring rate to your accessory list before you order, so the front end sits level once everything is fitted.
Fitment is a bolt-in job using factory mounting points, but we recommend an experienced 4WD suspension fitter or qualified mechanic complete the install given the steering and alignment work involved. Wheel alignment is mandatory immediately after fitting to set caster, camber and toe correctly. Allow a short settling period after alignment before towing or heavy off-road use, and re-check alignment after the first 500km. For lifted N80 utes we suggest fitting these arms alongside any planned control arm upgrades at the rear axle or lower arm level so the whole front end geometry is addressed in one job.
Blackhawk4x4 builds suspension componentry specifically for popular Australian 4WD platforms, including the Toyota Hilux N80, with a focus on correcting the geometry issues that come with lifting a vehicle. Components are backed by an Australian warranty and supplied through our local stock, so you're not waiting on overseas freight for a part your vehicle needs to drive straight. You can view the full Blackhawk4x4 range to see matching shocks, springs and control arms for your N80.
This arm suits Hilux N80 owners who've already fitted, or are planning to fit, a lift kit and are noticing wandering steering, uneven front tyre wear or a failed wheel alignment because factory caster adjustment has run out. It's a common addition for tradespeople and tourers running 2" to 3" lifts with a bull bar and winch up front, and for anyone running airbag suspension at the rear who still needs correct front-end geometry.
These upper control arms are in stock in Australia and ready to dispatch, with our fitment team available if you need help matching them to your N80's lift height and accessory setup. Browse our full lift kit range at browse our full lift kit range or get in touch before you order.

Yes, this Blackhawk upper control arm is built specifically for the Toyota Hilux N80 built from 2015-on, covering both the 2.4L 2GD-FTV and 2.8L 1GD-FTV diesel variants and the 2.7L 2TR-FE petrol. It uses the factory upper mounting points so no drilling or chassis modification is needed. If you're unsure about your exact build date or variant, our team can confirm fitment before you order.
This arm provides 3° of caster correction built into its geometry, which is designed to bring caster back toward factory specification once your Hilux N80 is lifted. Lifting a vehicle changes the angle of the factory upper control arm, reducing caster and affecting steering feel. This arm's geometry is set to counter that shift so your alignment technician has the range needed to set caster correctly.
You get a pair of Blackhawk upper control arms, left and right, each fitted with heavy-duty bushings and OEM-spec ball joints. Mounting hardware needed for installation is included. Shocks, springs and lower control arms are not part of this kit and are sold separately through our control arms and suspension component ranges.
Yes. Correcting caster after a lift improves steering stability and directional tracking, which matters when you're towing a trailer or caravan with a lifted N80. Combined with correctly rated rear leaf or coil springs for your towball weight, this arm helps keep the front end tracking straight under load. It doesn't add load capacity itself — that's handled by your springs and shocks.
If your Hilux N80 is lifted by 2" to 3" or more, the factory upper control arm often runs out of caster adjustment, which can cause wandering steering and premature tyre wear on the outer edges. This Blackhawk arm is designed to solve that by building the correction into the arm itself, rather than relying on adjustable factory cam bolts alone. Many N80 owners fit these arms at the same time as their suspension lift kit to avoid a second alignment visit.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is mandatory immediately after installing this control arm. The arm changes caster geometry, so camber and toe need to be reset by a qualified alignment shop once it's fitted. Driving on unaligned steering, even briefly, can accelerate tyre wear.
This control arm doesn't affect spring rate selection — it's a geometry correction component, not a spring. If you're also sourcing coil springs for your lift, spring rate should be chosen based on your front-end accessory load, such as a bull bar and winch. Our team can help match spring rate to your accessory list alongside this control arm.
This control arm corrects steering geometry rather than adding clearance, so tyre fitment depends on your lift height, wheel offset and any flares fitted, not on the control arm itself. If you're running a 2" to 3" lift with this arm, most N80 owners can step up to a larger all-terrain or light truck tyre, but we recommend checking your specific combination with our team first.
This Blackhawk upper control arm is covered by an Australian-backed manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty terms are handled locally through our team rather than an overseas supplier, so claims are straightforward. Keep your proof of purchase and fitment date on file for any warranty enquiry.
Yes. Restoring correct caster with this arm is aimed squarely at improving everyday, on-road steering feel and stability on a lifted N80, not just off-road performance. Owners typically notice less wandering at highway speed and steadier steering return after fitting. It's a common fitment for daily-driven utes that have been lifted for touring or towing.
