When you install a lift kit on your Nissan Navara NP300, the factory upper control arms create incorrect suspension geometry that causes negative camber (wheels tilting inward at the top). This leads to rapid inner tyre wear, compromised handling, poor steering response, and potential safety issues. Adjustable or extended upgraded control arms correct the camber and caster angles back to factory specifications or better, ensuring your lifted Navara drives as it should. These Toughdog upper control arms are mandatory for any Navara NP300 running 40mm+ lift height and highly recommended even for 30mm lifts to maximize performance and tyre longevity.
Professional installation by a qualified suspension technician or experienced 4WD mechanic is strongly recommended for these upper control arms. Installation involves safely supporting the vehicle, removing factory control arms, fitting the new Toughdog arms, and torquing all fasteners to manufacturer specifications. A full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installation to set camber, caster, and toe to optimal specifications—failure to align after fitment will result in handling issues and premature tyre wear. Allow a 500km break-in period for bushings to settle before final alignment check. When upgrading suspension on lifted vehicles, consider pairing these control arms with quality shock absorbers and appropriate spring rates for a complete, balanced system.

These Toughdog front upper control arms are specifically engineered for Nissan Navara NP300 models from 2015 onwards that are equipped with leaf spring rear suspension. They will not fit NP300 models with coil spring rear suspension, which require different components. To confirm exact fitment for your vehicle, check your VIN or look underneath—if you see leaf springs at the rear, these arms are correct. You can also use our online parts finder or contact our team with your VIN for 100% confirmation before ordering.
While you may not experience severe tyre wear with a 30mm lift using factory control arms, upgraded upper control arms are highly recommended for any lift 30mm and above, and absolutely essential for 40mm+ lifts. Even moderate lifts alter your suspension geometry enough to cause negative camber and accelerated inner tyre wear. These Toughdog arms restore proper alignment angles, significantly extending tyre life, improving handling, and ensuring safe steering response. The relatively small investment in control arms saves you far more in premature tyre replacement and delivers noticeably better driving dynamics both on and off-road.
This kit includes a matched pair of heavy-duty front upper control arms (left and right) with premium bushings pre-installed and corrosion-resistant powder coat finish. All necessary mounting hardware and fasteners are supplied for bolt-in installation using factory mounting points. Detailed installation instructions are included to guide fitment. Note that professional installation is strongly recommended, and a four-wheel alignment is mandatory after fitting—alignment service is not included but is essential for proper performance and safety.
Absolutely—these Toughdog upper control arms are engineered with high-strength steel construction and reinforced mounting points specifically to handle the demands of towing caravans, trailers, and heavy payload operations. The robust design resists deflection and maintains proper geometry even under the stress of constant heavy loads, making them ideal for working vehicles, trade applications, and touring rigs. When combined with appropriate springs rated for your load and quality shocks, these arms form part of a complete heavy-duty suspension system. For maximum load support and ride height adjustability, consider adding airbag suspension to complement your setup.
While experienced home mechanics with proper equipment (quality jack stands, torque wrench, spring compressors if needed) can install these control arms, professional installation by a qualified suspension technician is strongly recommended. The job involves working under a raised vehicle, removing and replacing critical suspension components, and torquing fasteners to precise specifications—any errors can compromise safety. Most importantly, a professional four-wheel alignment using specialized equipment is absolutely mandatory after installation to set camber, caster, and toe angles correctly. Factor alignment costs into your budget regardless of who performs the installation, as driving without proper alignment will cause rapid tyre wear and handling problems.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing these or any replacement upper control arms. The entire purpose of these arms is to correct suspension geometry and alignment angles that are altered by lift kits or worn factory components. Without professional alignment using laser or computerized equipment, you cannot achieve the correct camber, caster, and toe settings needed for safe handling and even tyre wear. Book your alignment with a reputable suspension specialist who understands lifted 4WDs—they'll set your Navara's geometry to optimal specifications for your specific lift height and usage. Allow 500km of driving for bushings to settle, then consider a follow-up alignment check for perfect results.
Yes, these Toughdog front upper control arms are compatible with quality lift kits from all major brands including Dobinsons, Ironman, Old Man Emu, EFS, and others designed for the Nissan Navara NP300. They're engineered to correct geometry issues caused by any aftermarket lift, not just Toughdog kits. The arms use factory mounting points and work with standard ball joint sizes, ensuring compatibility across different suspension setups. Whether you're running a 40mm coil conversion, 50mm lift, or even higher, these arms will restore proper alignment angles. For best performance, pair them with quality shocks and springs matched to your vehicle's weight and usage.
These Toughdog front upper control arms are backed by Toughdog's comprehensive manufacturer warranty, providing peace of mind for your investment. Toughdog stands behind their products with extensive coverage that protects against manufacturing defects and premature component failure. Specific warranty terms and duration are provided with your purchase and apply when components are installed correctly by qualified personnel and used within normal operating parameters. Keep your installation and alignment receipts as proof of professional fitment. As an authorized Toughdog dealer, we fully support all warranty claims and will assist with any issues that may arise during the coverage period.
These upper control arms themselves don't provide additional tyre clearance—they correct suspension geometry for lifted vehicles. However, by restoring proper alignment angles and allowing your lift kit to function as designed, they ensure your suspension can cycle through its full travel without compromised geometry. If you're planning to fit larger tyres (33" or bigger), you'll need an appropriate lift kit (typically 40-50mm+) to provide the clearance, and these control arms become essential to maintain proper alignment with that lift. The improved articulation these arms allow can actually help with tyre clearance at full suspension droop. Consult your lift kit specifications for maximum tyre size recommendations for your specific lift height.
These Toughdog upper control arms are engineered for both daily driving comfort and serious off-road capability—they're not a compromise between the two. The premium bushings provide compliant, quiet on-road performance without the harshness sometimes associated with heavy-duty components, making them perfectly suited to Navaras used as daily drivers, work vehicles, or family transport. At the same time, the reinforced construction and improved geometry deliver enhanced articulation, durability, and wheel travel for challenging off-road terrain. Whether you're commuting to work all week and exploring fire trails on weekends, or running a tradie ute with occasional beach fishing trips, these arms provide the perfect balance of everyday driveability and weekend adventure capability.
Sorted the alignment issues after my lift
Fitted these upper control arms after lifting my NP300 and the difference in wheel alignment is spot on. Been out to the High Country twice now with the van loaded up and the kids' gear, and the front end handles so much better on corrugations and through the rough stuff. Build quality is excellent and they went in without any dramas. Well worth the investment if you're running a lift and doing proper touring.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for My Lifted NP300
Been running these Toughdog upper control arms on my work Nav for about 6 months now and they've been spot on. The heavy-duty construction is noticeably beefier than stock, and I've had zero issues with alignment even with the 2-inch lift and loaded tradie tray. Fitment was bang on straight out of the box, saved me heaps compared to what the 4WD shop quoted for other brands.(5)
Proper Gear for Serious Remote Work
Been running these Toughdog upper control arms on my NP300 for about 8 months now, covering everything from the Canning Stock Route to Cape York wet season tracks. The difference in articulation over rough corrugations is immediately noticeable, and they've handled constant punishment from bulldust and creek crossings without any play developing in the bushings. Worth every cent if you're actually getting remote rather than just running beach tracks on weekends.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Lifted D23
Fitted these upper control arms after lifting the Navara and the difference in handling is night and day. We've done two trips out to the High Country since installation and the steering geometry is spot on now, no more wandering on corrugations. Really solid construction and the greasable bushings should keep them going for years of family adventures.(5)
