"They seem very stout and I like that they’re aluminum with zinc coating. Wish the instructions gave a schedule on how often to grease the ball joints though"
Quality product, generic instructions
"22 4runner. Overall, I am very happy with these UCAs. I did encounter some discrepancies between different sets of instructions, install videos, etc. . . that were a little confusing. There are a set of spacers in the hardware bag, that in the provided qr-code linked instructions say to install on the bump stops (?) however when I called Ironman USA support they said that was only on Tacomas. I ended up using the spacers on my UCA ball joint castle nuts, because without them the castle nut was threading too far and nearly bottoming out. So, clearly the spacers are for the upper ball joints, but the instructions didn't say that and the Ironman youtube video mentions them casually in passing without explaining if/why they are necessary. Also, my UCAs are not maintenance-free, they came with greasable ball joints and machined dust caps. I'm not upset about it, but the description should be updated to reflect that. All that being said, install went smoothly, the UCAs feel and look great, and my alignment is perfect now with my lift (OEM UCAs were actually rubbing the coils after the lift - Ironman UCAs clear easily). So a 5-star product, but maybe 4-star instructions due to the nature of these UCAs fitting many different vehicles."
Not a hard job. The
"Not a hard job. The UCA is held up with a really long bolt. Driver side: remove battery for access. Passenger side: loosen brackets for hoses and lines. It does provide better caster after lifting your vehicle for better adjustment for alignment."
So far they are excellent.
"So far they are excellent. Install is easy enough and they look great. 2 small things: dirt caps for the ball joints would be nice. And a parts list. I did not find the ball joints spacers and 5 mm brake line bolts in a small bag. Small details that would be very helpful. I am a big fan of these UCA’s"
Arms seem well made. They
"Arms seem well made. They don’t include the (upsized) bolts for the abs sensor wire brackets, original stuff won’t fit. Ball joint fits into a cavity that traps mud and moisture, caps would be great for USA north eastern areas. Also be nice to know what size it is for replacement. But the arms fit up well and do the job, brought my caster back in spec."

Q&A
- I understand there was a recall on the upper control arms sold between 2019 and 2023. Can I be assured that the issue was fixed if I decide to purchase now. Thank you
- Jason, Yes, be assured we have addressed the issue and any of the Upper control arm you would buy today will perform great for years, and like all of our suspension products they are covered under an unlimited mileage 4 year warranty. Cheers - Ironman 4x4
- is there any video how to change the ball joint?
- We do not have a video of that yet! but there should be some all over YouTube!
- How much caster can you get with a 2 to 3 inch lift whith these and an otherwise stock setup. Your description says adds 4° of caster but I've read other places they only add 2°.
- These have a range of 4 degrees or +/-2 each way.
- Can the ball joint be replaced easily?
- Yes, these use an OEM style ball joint and are very easy to replace.
- Where are these made?
- Our control arms come out of our Thailand factory as they fit many different vehicles around the world.
Product Information
Overview
Caster Correction: IRONMAN 4X4 upper control arms are forged with 4 degrees of caster correction for ideal wheel alignment, correcting the vehicle's geometry back to OEM specs, generating outstanding performance and ride quality.
Drop Forged Construction: Drop forged construction results in improved strength to weight ratios, increased directional strength with reduced stress concentrations in corners and filets. The precision of drop forging consistently results in superior strength, weight savings, and manufacturing tolerances when compared to machined, rolled, or other cast processes.
Hardened Zinc Coating: Wrapped in a hardened zinc coating, these UCA's have up to 75% more corrosion resistance when compared to traditional paint or powder coating. This zinc coating provides maximum effectiveness at warding off the oxidation that typically leads to rust and corrosion.
OEM Ball Joints: We use OEM style ball joints and bushings that are tested and manufactured to strict Japanese specifications that are readily available at every dealership and parts store. They feature a fully hardened stud bound in a watertight sealed machined housing which doesn’t allow for contaminates to be introduced into the joint with grease guns or outside environment.
Notes:
- Sold as a pair
