• Fully rebuildable design allows for long-term maintenance and sustainability
• No drilling required on the factory spindle, simplifying installation

Construction & Design:

The ADS Billet Aluminum Upper Control Arm is crafted from CNC machined 6061 billet aluminum, a material known for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. This ensures the control arm is both lightweight and robust enough to handle the stresses of lifted suspension setups and off-road use. The use of machined acetal copolymer bushings significantly reduces deflection compared to traditional rubber bushings, enhancing steering precision and vehicle stability.

At the heart of the control arm is a 1.25-inch hardened steel uniball, which offers greater articulation and durability than the stock ball joint. The uniball is protected by a gold anodized cover with a clear powder coat finish, providing excellent UV resistance and long-lasting protection against environmental elements. The O-ring sealed dust cover further safeguards the uniball from contaminants, ensuring smooth operation over time.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation of the ADS Billet Aluminum Upper Control Arm is straightforward and designed to fit directly onto the factory spindle without the need for drilling or modifications. The kit includes all necessary Grade 8 hardware, making the upgrade process efficient and secure. This control arm is compatible with Ram 1500 models from 2011 to 2018 and Dodge Ram 1500 models from 2009 to 2010, supporting lifts up to 4 inches while maintaining proper suspension geometry.

What's Included:

• Billet aluminum upper control arm
• 1.25-inch hardened steel uniball with gold anodized cover
• O-ring sealed dust cover
• Machined acetal copolymer bushings installed
• Grade 8 installation hardware
• Laser-engraved branding on control arm and uniball cover

Ideal For:

This upper control arm is ideal for Ram 1500 and Dodge Ram 1500 owners who have lifted their trucks up to 4 inches and want to correct suspension geometry for improved handling and ride comfort. It is perfect for off-road enthusiasts, daily drivers seeking enhanced stability, and anyone looking to replace worn or stock upper control arms with a high-quality, rebuildable component that offers long-term value and performance.
