These upper control arms don't set spring rate, but they work with any front coil spring upgrade fitted to the NP300. Choose a heavier-rate spring if you regularly carry a bull bar, winch or driving lights, since these accessories add sprung weight that compresses standard-rate springs further and alters the caster angle these arms correct. Talk to our team about matching spring rate to your accessory load before ordering, so the arms and springs work together to hold correct ride height and geometry.
Fitting these upper control arms requires basic mechanical skill and should be carried out by an experienced DIY installer or a workshop familiar with Navara front suspension. A four-wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to reset caster, camber and toe to factory specification. Allow a 500km bed-in period for the new ball joints and bushes to settle before a final alignment check. For lifted NP300s, pairing these arms with a complete set of control arm upgrades and matched shock absorbers keeps the whole front suspension geometry in spec.
Toughdog has built suspension components for Australian 4WDs for over three decades, designing control arms to handle local roads, corrugations and load conditions rather than just factory pavement use. Every arm is covered by Toughdog's manufacturer warranty and backed by our fitment support team in Australia. Tradespeople and touring owners running lifted NP300s choose Toughdog because the heavy-duty construction holds up under repeated flex at raised ride height — view the full Toughdog range for shocks, springs and control arms to match.
These upper control arms suit NP300 owners who've already fitted, or plan to fit, a 2" to 3" front lift kit and need the geometry corrected before an alignment. Tradies running bull bars and winches, and tourers towing camper trailers, benefit most since correct caster keeps steering feel consistent under load. If you're also carrying constant rear payload on top of the lift, look at airbag suspension to support the extra weight without sagging the leaf pack.

Yes, these Toughdog upper control arms are designed specifically for the Nissan Navara NP300 (D23) with leaf spring rear suspension, built from 2015 onwards. They are not compatible with the coil-rear NP300 variant, so confirm your rear suspension type before ordering. This listing, SKU 9056, is stocked for leaf-rear models only. If you're unsure of your setup, check your rear suspension or contact our fitment team with your build plate details.
These control arms don't add lift themselves — they correct geometry after you've fitted a front lift kit. They're designed to accommodate up to a 3" front lift on the NP300, keeping caster and camber within a serviceable alignment range. At a 2" lift standard alignment settings are usually achievable, and at 3" these arms give you the extra adjustment range needed.
The kit includes two Toughdog heavy-duty front upper control arms with ball joints and bushes pre-fitted, plus mounting hardware. Shocks, coil springs and lower control arms are sold separately. See the kit contents list above for the exact inclusions.
Yes. Correcting front-end geometry with these arms keeps steering and camber consistent whether you're towing a trailer or running a loaded canopy. For rear-end load support while towing, pair these arms with a rated leaf spring upgrade to hold ride height under constant load.
If you're fitting a 2" or 3" front lift kit to your NP300, yes — factory upper control arms don't provide enough adjustment to correct caster and camber at that ride height. These Toughdog arms give you the extra range needed to bring alignment back into factory tolerance. Running a lift without corrected arms leads to premature tyre wear and reduced CV joint life.
Yes, a four-wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting these control arms. This resets caster, camber and toe to the correct setting for your ride height. We recommend a follow-up alignment check after a 500km bed-in period once the new ball joints and bushes have settled.
These control arms work with any front coil spring rate fitted to the NP300. If you're carrying a bull bar, winch or driving lights, a heavier-rate spring keeps ride height correct under that extra load. Talk to our team about matching spring rate to your accessories before you order.
Correcting geometry with these arms improves wheel travel clearance, which can help larger tyres clear the guards at full compression and droop. Actual clearance depends on your wheel offset, tyre size and the lift height fitted. Our team can advise on tyre size limits for your specific NP300 setup.
These arms are covered by Toughdog's manufacturer warranty against manufacturing defects. Contact our team for the specific warranty period and claim process for SKU 9056. We dispatch from Australian stock, so warranty support is handled locally.
Yes. Correcting geometry with these upper control arms restores normal steering feel and even tyre wear on daily-driven, lifted NP300s. Many owners running these arms use their Navara for daily commuting as well as towing and touring. Just make sure alignment is set correctly after fitting for the best on-road feel.
