Billet Front Upper Control Arms That Put Camber Back In Spec
The AAD Performance C004-0000 billet front upper control arms replace the factory 2WD front uppers on the LX and LC platform so a lowered Charger, Challenger, Magnum, Chrysler 300 or Hellcat can be aligned properly again. The arms use an on-vehicle tab-lock system for repeatable camber adjustment and carry a Teflon lined spherical bearing angled five degrees to keep the joint from binding at full droop.
Key Features
- Machined from 6061-T6511 billet aluminum with 17-4 stainless steel hardware
- Tab-lock camber adjustment allows on-vehicle changes of up to eight millimetres either side of stock
- Patent pending Spheriflex bearing: a spherical bearing sprung between two Teflon impregnated Delrin races that removes deflection without adding noise, vibration or harshness, and is fully rebuildable.
- FK stainless steel, Teflon lined spherical bearing angled five degrees to prevent bind at full droop, and replaceable in service
- Laser-cut tabs for exact fit and high-strength hardware with OEM-quality plating
- Approximately one pound lighter per arm than the factory part while being significantly stronger in every direction
- C004-0000 arms are supplied as a driver and passenger pair

What is the C004-0000?It is the AAD Performance billet front upper control arm family for LX and LC platform Dodge, Chrysler and Hellcat models, supplied as a driver and passenger pair.
How much camber adjustment do these arms provide?The tab-lock system allows up to eight millimetres of movement in either direction compared with the stock setting.
Do I need to remove the arm from the car to change camber?No. The tab-lock system is designed for on-vehicle adjustment, which is why it is used instead of a threaded sleeve.
Are the spherical bearings serviceable?Yes. The FK stainless Teflon lined bearing is replaceable and the Spheriflex assembly is rebuildable.
Will these arms bind at full droop?The spherical bearing is angled five degrees specifically to avoid joint bind when the suspension reaches full droop.
Are these arms lighter than the factory parts?Each arm is approximately one pound lighter than the factory component while being significantly stronger in all directions.
Do they fit all-wheel-drive cars?No. The manufacturer lists this arm for two-wheel-drive front suspension applications.
Which finishes are available in this listing?Black, Red and Electric Blue anodized finishes are stocked here, each with Spheriflex bearings.
Is an alignment required after installation?Yes. A full four-wheel alignment should be performed once the arms are installed and the tabs are set.
What warranty applies?AADPerformance Limited One Year Warranty. Defect coverage runs one year from the date of original purchase and applies to the original purchaser only. Installed parts cannot be returned, and unused non-warranty returns are subject to a 15 percent restocking fee.
