Fix Camber And Caster Loss After A Land Cruiser Lift
Lifting an IFS platform like the 200 series Land Cruiser or LX570 pushes the factory upper control arm geometry out of range, leaving excess negative camber and reduced caster along with tight ball joint and coilover clearance. This Whiteline KTA246 offset upper control arm is engineered as a complete solution for vehicles lifted between roughly 30mm and 70mm, correcting alignment geometry while adding clearance and articulation.
Key Features
- All in one offset upper control arm designed for lifted applications
- Adds approximately 2.5 to 3.5 degrees of positive caster at a 50mm lift
- Reduces negative camber by up to 1.5 degrees at a 50mm lift
- Increases clearance to the coilover strut at ride and droop height
- Uses maintenance free GIIRO bushing technology for smoother articulation
- KTA246 restores proper alignment range that stock arms cannot provide once lifted

FAQ
What is the KTA246?The KTA246 is a Whiteline offset front upper control arm designed to correct alignment geometry on lifted Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus LX570 vehicles.
How much lift does this control arm support?It is designed for vehicles lifted between approximately 30mm and 70mm, with published alignment figures based on a 50mm lift.
Will this fix camber issues after installing a lift kit?Yes, it reduces negative camber by up to 1.5 degrees at a 50mm lift, helping correct alignment that stock arms cannot compensate for once lifted.
Does it also improve caster?Yes, it adds approximately 2.5 to 3.5 degrees of positive caster at a 50mm lift, improving steering feel and reducing tire wear.
What is GIIRO bushing technology?GIIRO bushings are a maintenance free bushing design used in the KTA246 that improves articulation and durability compared to traditional rubber bushings.
Will this help with strut clearance after a lift?Yes, this control arm increases clearance to the coilover strut at both ride height and full droop, reducing the risk of contact after a lift.
Can I install this kit myself?Installation involves removing the factory upper control arms and replacing them with this new arm, which is best handled by an experienced DIY installer or alignment shop given the alignment work required afterward.
Does installing this kit require a new alignment?Yes, a full four wheel alignment is required after installation to set camber and caster to specification.

Alignment Components
Shop alignment components, camber kits, caster kits, and adjustable control arms at Black Ops Auto Works. Find vehicle-specific parts for correcting suspension alignment or preparing a performance setup, including toe links, adjustment cams, camber plates, and replacement mounts. Choose components based on your vehicle, suspension configuration, and measured alignment needs. Camber, Caster, and Toe Correction Camber describes the inward or outward tilt of a wheel when viewed from the front. Caster describes the steering axis angle when viewed from the side. Toe describes whether the wheels point inward or outward when viewed from above. Each measurement has a different role, so the right correction part depends on which angle needs adjustment. This collection includes options from Black Ops Auto Works, AAD Performance, SPC Performance, Eibach, SuperPro, Whiteline, and other suspension brands. Adjustment capability varies by product. A camber kit does not automatically provide caster...
