We use a suitable grease and you lubricate it in through the back so its going to allow that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe FK ball joint has a greasable point there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the arm over here where the ABS line it's got a proper attachment point there. So all of your ABS lines are all safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNow the FK joints that we use, there a big chrome molly joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHeaps of beef in those when you compare them to a little factory ball joint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen that boot comes off, that's a tiny little joint there and you don't get much travel out of those joints. Where these will go a lot more travel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs I said earlier their made from chrome molly steel so strength is way over what a factory one is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinished in a nice powder coat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut if you're worried about the appearance, some people might go on about that doesn't look like an OE part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe can supply them black if needed, but generally silver is the colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn here is a little dust cap that's pressed in by a little CIR clip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat's easily removable and the ball joints replaceable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith a grease fitting there you can keep that lubricated up and you will have years of life for that ball joint and it is a replaceable part if needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNow the Superior Engineering upper control arms are fairly easy to fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBasically it's just one big bolt just running through the back and you've got this assembly in here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo fitting them is actually quite easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's just a matter of as you would normally remove the strut, you would take the strut out so all the weights off out of here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUndoing the bolt. Sometimes you might need to take an air cleaner out or a battery depending on the set up of your vehicle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRemoving that bolt, there's not cutting, no modifying or anything like that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo you're probably talking maybe two hours to fit a set of these and you're up and going.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThey do also assist in wheel alignment. You do tend to find that when you go and put a 3 or 4 inch lift in these vehicles or even a two inch lift your wheel alignment starts going to the maximum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wheel alignment has been factored into these and actually brings a wheel back into a better placement so you're not going to wear your tyres as bad and the things are going to control properly and handle properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThose combined with a great shock in the front, there is no reason you can't have a 3 or 4 inch lift in these vehicles and the thing just drives safely and smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor more information on these upper control arms you can talk to the sales guys at work or jump online at www.superiorengineering.com.au\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eShipping Policy\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuperior Engineering offer custom built suspension solutions, with unique adjustability and performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese kits are assembled to order to suit your requirements, with an average lead time that can vary between 1-3 weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you need a specific eta, please contact us before ordering and we will be sure to assist you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eConsolidated Freight Option\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsolidated freight allows PPD Performance to combine multiple orders onto a single pallet and transfer them together, reducing freight costs by sharing them across orders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis option adds an additional 1–3 week delay on top of the standard 1–3 week supplier lead time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you require your item sooner, please contact us before or after ordering to discuss specific lead times or faster freight options.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Superior Engineering","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46653890330798,"sku":"27724","price":1200.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2136\/3225\/files\/prado-vigo_upper_arms_94ca7662-2ce8-4f7e-8c9d-92532dc2197e.jpg?v=1751770814","url":"https:\/\/ppdperformance.com.au\/products\/toyota-landcruiser-2021-2024-superior-engineering-superior-chromoly-upper-control-arms-suitable-for-toyota-prado-fj-cruiser-pair-pradouca-t","provider":"PPD Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
