Construction & Design

The Fabtech control arms are engineered with a focus on durability and performance. Made from high-quality steel, these arms feature a robust design that resists bending and cracking under stress. The stainless steel uniball joint is engineered for smooth operation and long-lasting performance, even in muddy, rocky, or off-road conditions. The arms are CNC-machined for precise fitment and feature a corrosion-resistant finish to withstand the elements. The design maintains proper suspension geometry, ensuring consistent alignment and handling characteristics, whether you're on the street or tackling challenging trails.

Performance & Sound

Upgrading to these control arms enhances your vehicle’s suspension response, providing more precise steering and improved wheel articulation. The elimination of the factory ball joint reduces play and wear, resulting in a more stable and predictable ride. While these control arms are not designed to increase horsepower or torque directly, they support your vehicle’s suspension system in handling increased loads and off-road stresses effectively. The design also helps reduce noise and vibrations associated with worn or stock components, contributing to a smoother driving experience.

Installation & Fitment

The Fabtech Uniball Upper Control Arm Kit is a bolt-on upgrade that requires no cutting or welding. Installation involves removing the factory upper control arms and replacing them with the new uniball-equipped units using standard hand tools. The kit is designed to fit directly onto your Ford F150’s existing mounting points, making the process straightforward for experienced DIY enthusiasts or professional installers. It is recommended to perform a wheel alignment after installation to ensure optimal handling and tire wear. No special tuning or modifications are necessary, and the upgrade can typically be completed within a few hours.
