What Are Upper Control Arms?

Upper control arms are critical suspension components that connect the front suspension to the vehicle's chassis. They work in conjunction with the lower control arms and other suspension parts to stabilize the wheels and ensure that they remain aligned with the road or off-road surfaces. While most vehicles come equipped with stock control arms, aftermarket UCAs are designed to provide better articulation, durability, and alignment correction, especially in off-road conditions.

Why Upgrade to Tough Dog Upper Control Arms?

Off-road adventures place extreme stress on your vehicle's suspension system. Stock control arms may not offer sufficient strength and durability for rigorous use on rocky trails, mud paths, or uneven terrains. Upgrading to aftermarket UCAs offers several advantages that can significantly enhance your off-road experience:

1. Increased Strength and Durability: Tough Dog UCAs are constructed from high-grade materials such as heavy-duty steel or aluminum, providing greater resilience under harsh conditions.
2. Improved Wheel Articulation: These UCAs are engineered to increase suspension travel, allowing for better tire contact with the ground, which translates to improved traction.
3. Enhanced Vehicle Alignment: A lifted vehicle often faces alignment issues, which can lead to uneven tire wear and poor handling. Tough Dog UCA's correct these issues by maintaining proper geometry.
4. Reduced Stress on Ball Joints: High-quality UCAs are designed to reduce strain on critical suspension parts like ball joints, resulting in a longer lifespan for both the UCA and surrounding components.
