Restore Camber Range Lost To A Leveling Kit Or Lift
Leveling kits and lifts on the fifth generation Ram 1500 push the front upper control arm angle outside its factory design range, which drives camber and caster out of specification and accelerates uneven tire wear. This Whiteline KTA317 front upper control arm kit is engineered with corrected geometry to restore proper alignment range, letting you dial in camber and caster correctly after a suspension lift.
Key Features
- Direct replacement front upper control arm kit for the Ram 1500
- Corrects camber and caster geometry lost when running a lift or leveling kit
- Restores full alignment adjustment range
- Reduces uneven tire wear caused by out of range camber
- KTA317 includes upgraded ball joints for extended service life

FAQ
What is the KTA317?This part is a Whiteline front upper control arm kit for the 2019 and newer Ram 1500 designed to correct camber and caster geometry after a lift or leveling kit.
Why do I need an upper control arm after leveling my Ram 1500?A leveling kit changes ride height enough to push the factory control arm angle out of its designed alignment range, which can cause uneven tire wear.
Will this restore proper alignment after a lift?Yes, the corrected geometry in this control arm restores the camber and caster adjustment range needed after a lift or leveling kit.
Does this control arm work at stock ride height?Yes, this control arm is a direct replacement that functions correctly at stock ride height as well as lifted applications.
Is this a bolt in replacement?Yes, the KTA317 uses the factory mounting points for a direct bolt in installation.
Does this come with new ball joints?Yes, the KTA317 includes upgraded ball joints for extended service life.
Do I need an alignment after installing this control arm?Yes, a full wheel alignment is required after installation to set camber and caster within specification.
Will this help with tire wear on a leveled Ram 1500?Yes, correcting the control arm geometry restores proper camber, which reduces the uneven tire wear common on leveled trucks.

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...
