Eliminate Ball Joint Binding With Teflon-Lined Uni-Balls
Standard ball joints can bind on a lifted F-150, limiting suspension travel and causing premature wear. Tuff Country's 20930 upper control arms replace the factory ball joint with a Teflon-lined uni-ball, adding suspension travel and correcting front end geometry on lifted 2004-2021 F-150 trucks.
Key Features
- Teflon-lined uni-ball joint eliminates standard ball joint binding
- Increases suspension articulation over the factory ball joint design
- Corrects front end geometry on lifted vehicles
- Polyurethane bushings included with zerk fittings for lubrication
- Made in the USA, backed by a limited lifetime warranty
- Direct bolt-on installation, no drilling required
