The ARB Old Man Emu UCA0009 Front Upper Control Arms are engineered specifically for the Ford Ranger Mk8 and Volkswagen Amarok Mk3 (2023 onwards). Designed to restore and optimise front suspension geometry after a lift, these upper control arms are a critical upgrade for owners seeking improved alignment, handling, and durability in both on-road and off-road conditions.
When fitting a suspension lift to an independent front suspension (IFS) vehicle, factory camber and caster angles often move outside recommended specifications. The UCA0009 upper control arms are designed to correct these alignment issues, enabling proper adjustment and ensuring predictable steering and tyre wear. This is especially important for vehicles that have undergone a GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) upgrade or are regularly loaded for touring, towing, or off-road use.
These control arms are ideal for:
By restoring alignment, the UCA0009 helps maintain safe handling and maximises tyre life, making it a practical upgrade for both daily drivers and serious off-roaders.
The UCA0009 features a forged ball joint housing and eyelets for maximum strength under load. The heavy-duty ball joint is greaseable and protected by an OME-branded cap, while GIIRO bushings provide a free-pivoting, maintenance-free solution for long-term reliability. ARB's Intergrit powder coat finish offers superior resistance to corrosion and harsh environments, making these arms suitable for demanding off-road use.
These upper control arms are designed specifically for the Ford Ranger Mk8 and Volkswagen Amarok Mk3 (2023 onwards). They are supplied as a pair, complete with foam inserts for protection during shipping and detailed fitting instructions. The arms include provision for mounting OE ABS wires for seamless integration with factory systems. Installation is straightforward for experienced enthusiasts or professional workshops, especially when performed alongside a suspension lift or GVM upgrade.
