Default Camburg's New Ball Joint Upper A-Arms!!!

Looking to change out your upper control arms without hitting the bank account too hard? Camburg now offers a performance upper arm that utilizes the OEM Toyota ball-joint. It gives many of the same benefits their uniball upper arms offer at a much lower cost. With Toyota’s new chassis, the factory ball-joint is considerably stronger & larger than in previous years. By building an upper arm to re-angle the ball-joint, you’re able to gain more wheel travel and keep the joint in its normal operating range. These arms also correct the suspension geometry by increasing much needed caster which improves handling and allows for a wider range of alignment adjustment. The tubular construction also gives you more tire & shock clearance compared to the stock stamped arm. CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFO



Specs:
- Tubular chromoly upper a-arms
- Re-angled ball-joint to increase wheel travel over stock
- Increase in positive caster geometry for better handling
- Energy Suspension polyurethane bushings with thick inner sleeves
- Uses factory ball-joints and hardware
- Includes all necessary hardware
- Stainless steel ABS line clamps
- Powder coated gray finish

Notes:
These arms are designed to be used with stock unmodified spindles or Camburg performance lift spindles in conjunction with an approved 2”-3” lift bolt-in coilover. They were not designed to be used in conjunction with other suspension kits or spacer type kits.
Maximum wheel backspacing = 6.50”

Very cool, nice price too.

Two questions.

1. Is there a cap for that cup? I see that being full of dirt or mud after a fun day.

2. Does this setup offer the same amount of droop as the Uniball set?

1) No cup cover, the whole idea for these arms is to get people arms to correct there camber, caster, and more room to droop without hitting the coil-springs or tires. All this for under $400.. They also don't make the noise a uni-ball makes...

2) Yes they get all the wheel travel the uniball arms get up and down so they will work with our LT coilovers.


Now I am sure people will ask..... So here goes...
The reason why someone will get our uniball arms is strength. We have a whole new design coming very soon for the uniball arms. Just look at our LT kit and you will see what we are doing! The new Uni-ball arms will be $699.00


Here is a picture...

1.5" uniball, recessed hardware, 12 point heat treated alloy hardware = stronger!

Sweet.

I believe the new UCA's use a 1.25" uniball, whereas yours use a 1"

The new arms will use the larger 1.500 uniballs the Tacoma uses the 1.250. Tundras have bigger balls!

So will this arm be able to be utilized with the RCD 6" or Tuff Country 5"?

Very soon!

They use to be available years and years ago... And they are coming back!

Jerry,

I noticed that you offer a package for the BILSTEIN 5100 adjustable and the new upper arms. Would you recommend this combination over the Camburg coilover and the new upper arm? Will you be offering a package with the Camburg coilover?

How hard would it be to install these? Does your Camburg coilover need any modification to fit on the Tundra? Any grinding involved?

Also, do you have any recommendations for the rear suspension to complete the package?

Thanks again.

I just had the camburg UCAs installed. I had a 5100 adjustable before with stock UCAs. My mechanic drove my truck after his men installed the hardware and he was jealous of the ride with the 5100s. He felt the road manners of his Total Chaos with Donahoe coilovers were just too stiff for a driver who dual-sports from time to time.

I am very happy with the compression and damping characteristics of this setup (UCAs and 5100s). I drive desert dirt roads rarely. I see no reason to upgrade further. Uh oh... No more upgrades? Inconceivable!

Seriously, I would research a lot more about the coilovers and their stiffness. You might get something that just chews up the tires if it is not configured properly. I feel that correcting the alignment and geometry to achieve the lift is the primary goal. A coilover shock upgrade should be the last step.... IMHO.

I have a few questions for you.I have a 2008 Tundra double cab 2x4 5.7

I'm looking to do a small lift to run 285's.
How much lift did the UCA's and adjustable 5100's give you.
What do I need to do in the back to level it out?

I will use it for 95% HWY use.I also toe a bass boat and a work trailer with tools in it.
