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.
Install Instructions
- Raise and safely support the front of the vehicle on jack stands
- Remove the wheel and disconnect the factory upper control arm from the spindle and frame mount
- Remove the factory upper control arm
- Install the Whiteline KTA246 offset upper control arm and torque all fasteners to factory specification

Control Arms
Control arms are the key suspension linkages that connect the wheel hub and knuckle assembly to the vehicle frame, controlling wheel travel through both compression and droop cycles. Worn OEM control arms with loose ball joints or deteriorated bushings cause vague steering, tire wear, and handling inconsistency that only go away with replacement or upgrade.Popular UpgradesTubular steel upper control arms for lifted trucks and SUVs are the most popular upgrade in the control arm category, correcting the geometry compromised by a suspension lift and restoring proper caster angle and ball joint centering. Adjustable upper control arms allow alignment angles like caster and camber to be dialed in precisely after a lift or lowering modification. Replacement lower control arms with polyurethane or solid aluminum bushings improve response and longevity compared to worn OEM rubber mounts.Why do I need new control arms after a lift kit?A suspension lift changes the angle at which the OEM upp...

Suspension
Aftermarket suspension systems improve handling, ride quality, and ride height adjustment beyond what the factory suspension provides. From lowering springs and coilover kits for sport handling to lift kits and leveling kits for truck and SUV off-road capability, quality suspension components transform how a vehicle rides and handles. Popular Suspension Upgrades Popular suspension upgrades include coilover kits for adjustable ride height and damping, sport lowering springs for improved handling and reduced body roll, performance shock absorbers and strut assemblies, sway bar and end link upgrade kits, subframe brace kits, and complete suspension packages for lifted trucks and off-road SUVs. Alignment kits including camber bolts and camber arms are also frequently ordered after ride height changes. What is the difference between coilovers and lowering springs? Coilovers are complete shock and spring assemblies with adjustable ride height set by threading the spring perch on the shock...
