Old Man Emu UCA0015 Front Upper Control Arm Ford Everest/Ranger VW Amarok

Vehicle Fitment

• Ford Everest (International Market - not sold in the United States), with cast iron steering knuckles
• Ford Ranger, with cast iron steering knuckles - confirm knuckle material matches your specific Ranger model/market before ordering
• Volkswagen Amarok (International Market - not sold in the United States), with cast iron steering knuckles

Fitment Notes

• Specific to models equipped with cast iron steering knuckles - not compatible with vehicles using a different knuckle material
• A wheel alignment is required after installation
• Fender clearance should be checked if the vehicle is fitted with aftermarket tires/wheels; additional caster may be required if clearance is insufficient
• Engineered for use with Old Man Emu GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) upgrades as part of a complete suspension system

Features

• Corrects caster and camber angles pushed outside factory range by increased ride height from a suspension lift
• Restores the alignment cams to an acceptable adjustment range for both caster and camber
• Increases tire clearance, allowing for tougher terrain and larger tire fitment
• Free-pivoting, grease- and maintenance-free GIIRO bushings eliminate binding while minimizing noise, vibration, and harshness
• Greaseable ball joint allows for easy ongoing servicing
• Forged ball joint housing for increased strength and reliability
• Premium textured black finish for easy cleaning and long-term durability
• Designed to work in harmony with other Old Man Emu suspension components for a fully integrated system

Product Description

The Old Man Emu UCA0015 is a front upper control arm engineered for the Ford Everest, Ford Ranger, and Volkswagen Amarok, specifically for models equipped with cast iron steering knuckles. On any IFS vehicle fitted with a suspension lift, ride height changes push caster and camber outside the factory adjustment range - since IFS vehicles typically only have a few degrees of adjustment built in from the factory, a lift alone often isn't enough to bring alignment back into spec.

This control arm restores that adjustment range, bringing caster and camber back within an acceptable window while also increasing tire clearance for larger wheel and tire setups. A forged ball joint housing adds strength and reliability, while free-pivoting, grease-free GIIRO bushings eliminate the binding, noise, and squeaking that can develop in factory bushings over time - all backed by a greaseable ball joint for straightforward long-term servicing.

This is a necessary companion for Everest, Ranger, and Amarok owners running a suspension lift who want correct front-end geometry rather than a compromised alignment. It's engineered to work alongside Old Man Emu's GVM upgrades and broader suspension range for a fully integrated setup, and as with any control arm replacement, a wheel alignment is required immediately after installation.
