Old Man Emu UCA0017 Forged IFS Front Upper Control Arm 2021-2024 Ford F-150

Vehicle Fitment

• 2021-2024 Ford F-150 (IFS, Front)

Fitment Notes

• A wheel alignment is required after installation
• Fender clearance should be checked when the vehicle is fitted with aftermarket tires and wheels; additional caster may be required if clearance is insufficient
• Engineered to bring alignment cams back into an acceptable adjustment range after a suspension lift changes front-end geometry

Features

• Corrects caster and camber angles pushed outside factory range by increased ride height from a suspension lift
• Tubular design with forged eyelet and ball joint housings for increased strength and reliability
• Free-pivoting, grease- and maintenance-free GIIRO bushings eliminate binding while minimizing noise, vibration, and harshness
• Heavy-duty greaseable ball joint with a protective cap for straightforward long-term servicing
• Increases clearance for larger tires and tougher terrain
• Only way to obtain a correct wheel alignment on a lifted F-150 rather than settling for out-of-spec caster/camber
• Designed to work in harmony with other Old Man Emu suspension components for a fully integrated system

Product Description

The Old Man Emu UCA0017 is a front upper control arm engineered specifically for the 2021-2024 Ford F-150, addressing a problem every lifted IFS truck runs into: once ride height changes, the factory alignment cams often can't bring caster and camber back into an acceptable range on their own. This control arm restores that adjustment headroom, letting a properly lifted F-150 actually achieve a correct alignment rather than settling for a compromise.

Built with a tubular design and forged eyelet and ball joint housings, the arm is engineered for strength and long-term reliability under the added stress of a lift kit and larger tires. Free-pivoting, grease-free GIIRO bushings eliminate the binding and squeaking that can develop in worn factory bushings, while a heavy-duty greaseable ball joint with a protective cap keeps ongoing maintenance simple.

This is a practical, close-to-mandatory upgrade for F-150 owners running a suspension lift who want their front end properly aligned rather than living with reduced tire life and compromised handling. As with any control arm replacement, a wheel alignment is required immediately after installation, and fender clearance should be checked if running aftermarket tires and wheels.
