These ADR compliant Blackhawk Upper Control Arms (UCAs) from Roadsafe 4WD are a heavy-duty, bolt-in upgrade for the Nissan Patrol Y62. Located in the front suspension, they connect the top of the steering knuckle to the chassis. They have been specifically engineered to correct the suspension geometry on lifted vehicles, restoring proper caster and camber to improve handling and steering response. When you lift your Y62, the factory arms are often no longer suitable, leading to vague steering, bump steer, and clearance issues with larger tyres. These UCAs are the definitive solution for any Patrol with a 30-70mm suspension lift.

Product Features

• Corrected Suspension Geometry: Engineered with 3 degrees of fixed caster correction to suit lifts from 30-70mm. This restores precise steering feel and high-speed stability, eliminating the vague handling common after a lift.
• Increased Clearance and Strength: The revised design provides superior clearance for larger aftermarket wheels, tyres, and suspension components, preventing the arm from hitting the coil or chassis on full droop. FEA testing shows this design is up to three times stiffer than the original equipment for improved durability and handling response.
• Heavy-Duty Serviceable Ball Joints: Features robust, greasable "hard to hard" style ball joints redesigned for a long service life in harsh off-road conditions. Their fixed, non-adjustable position ensures your wheel alignment settings are securely maintained.
• OE Spec Bushings: Utilises OE specification rubber bushings to absorb noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH) before it reaches the chassis. This design also allows for easy servicing with genuine or aftermarket OE spec replacement parts.

Genuine Nissan Product Alternative

While these are not a Genuine Nissan part, they are a purpose-built aftermarket upgrade. Blackhawk Upper Control Arms are designed by suspension experts to exceed the capabilities of the factory arms, specifically for modified vehicles that require corrected geometry and increased strength for optimal performance and safety, both on and off-road.

Patrolapart: Quality, Durability, Performance

Installing quality, ADR compliant control arms is critical for the safety and performance of your lifted Y62. These Blackhawk UCAs are engineered with precise geometry and superior materials to ensure safe handling and prevent premature tyre wear. Inferior or non-compliant arms often use weaker materials and incorrect geometry, which can lead to component failure, unpredictable vehicle control, and costly damage to your tyres and other suspension parts.

Installation is a moderate to difficult workshop job that requires specialised tools. After installation, a professional wheel alignment is essential to correctly dial in the suspension settings. This is also the ideal time to inspect other key components like lower control arms, shock absorbers, and tie rod ends for wear.
