Upper Control Arms

Upper Control Arms Built to Last, Easy to Service

JBA upper control arms are designed, machined, and welded in-house at our Souderton, Pennsylvania facility — built with patented EZ Lube bushings and a field-replaceable Max 90 ball joint, so you get correct alignment geometry, added caster, and years of easy maintenance without a press or a shop visit. Every arm ships with a lifetime structural warranty and a 365-day return policy.

Whether you call them control arms, A-arms, or upper control arms, JBA's are the only ones on the market with a field-serviceable, no-press ball joint.

Built to Last, Easy to Service, Backed for Life

Upgrading your upper control arms is one of the most effective ways to correct alignment, restore factory geometry, and unlock more suspension travel on a lifted or leveled truck or SUV. Every JBA upper control arm is designed, machined, and welded in our 16,000 sq ft facility in Souderton, Pennsylvania — not outsourced, not imported — so you get consistent fit and finish on every arm that leaves our shop.

What sets JBA apart is how our arms are built to be maintained, not replaced. Our patented EZ Lube bushings feature grease ports and pressure relief valves, so you can keep your control arms running smooth and quiet for the life of the truck — no bolt removal, no special tools. And unlike uniball-style control arms that require pressing out worn joints, JBA's Max 90 ball joint is field-replaceable for under $75, with no press required. That means less maintenance downtime and lower long-term cost of ownership than most performance-oriented competitors.

Every JBA upper control arm ships with a lifetime structural warranty and is backed by our 365-day, no-questions-asked return policy — because we build these arms to outlast the truck they're bolted to.

Quick Buying Guide

Match your arms to your lift type. JBA offers two configurations: Spring/Leveling Kit arms (1–3.5" lifts) and Cradle Drop arms (4–12" lifts). Check your vehicle's lift height before ordering.
STD vs. HD: STD arms are built for daily-driven, moderately lifted trucks. HD arms add reinforced gussets and thicker tubing for heavier use, bigger tires, and more aggressive off-road driving.
Built-in caster correction means most JBA arms restore proper alignment geometry without needing a separate adjustable arm or aftermarket caster kit.
EZ Lube bushings are greaseable — plan to grease every 3,000–5,000 miles to maximize the life of your bushings and ball joints.
The Max 90 ball joint is fully rebuildable. If it ever wears out, replace just the joint (~$75) instead of the entire arm.
Confirm your year, make, and model using the vehicle selector above before checkout — fitment varies by lift height and drivetrain configuration.

What do upper control arms do?

Upper control arms connect your vehicle's frame to the steering knuckle and control the up-and-down motion of the wheel. When you install a lift or leveling kit, the factory upper control arms are often forced into an incorrect angle, causing poor alignment, uneven tire wear, and reduced suspension travel. Aftermarket upper control arms like JBA's are built with the correct geometry and added caster to restore proper alignment and unlock the full range of motion your lift kit is designed for.

Are JBA control arms adjustable?

JBA upper control arms are non-adjustable by design — caster correction is built directly into the arm geometry, so there's nothing to dial in or lose alignment on over time. This trades fine-tuned adjustability for a simpler, more durable arm with fewer parts that can loosen or wear out on the trail.

What's the difference between a ball joint and a uniball control arm?

Uniball (heim joint) control arms offer more articulation but typically require frequent greasing and eventual pressing to replace the joint — a job that usually needs a shop or a press. JBA uses a greaseable OE-style ball joint (the JBA Max 90) that's fully rebuildable in the field: no press, no special tools, just a socket and a few minutes. For a full comparison, see our Ball Joints vs. Uniball guide.

How often do I need to grease JBA control arms?

We recommend greasing the EZ Lube bushings and ball joint every 3,000–5,000 miles — roughly every oil change — to keep them quiet and extend their service life. Learn more about how the system works on our EZ Lube Bushings page.

What's included in the JBA warranty?

Every JBA upper control arm is backed by a lifetime structural warranty and a 365-day return policy. If you're not satisfied for any reason within a year of purchase, we'll take it back.

How do I know if my ball joints are going bad?

Common signs of a failing ball joint include clunking or knocking noises over bumps, uneven or accelerated tire wear, a loose or wandering steering feel, and visible looseness when the wheel is jacked up and rocked by hand. If you notice any of these, inspect your ball joints as soon as possible — a failed ball joint can lead to loss of steering control.

How long does installation take?

Most JBA upper control arms install in 1 to 3 hours with basic hand tools and a jack. Installation guides are available for each application.

Do JBA control arms fit stock (non-lifted) trucks?

JBA upper control arms are designed for lifted or leveled vehicles. If your truck is at stock ride height, a factory replacement arm is usually a better fit — check with our team if you're unsure which configuration matches your setup.
