Front Upper Control Arms for Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2/Dodge Durango

In this review of the Front Upper Control Arms for lifted Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK2) and Dodge Durango, the bottom line is simple: these tubular control arms are built for strength and improved handling on 1-4in lift setups. The reviewer found them to be a solid replacement for factory arms when running springs or leveling kits, offering a durable dual-layer coating, greaseable ball joints, and a configuration that promotes better camber control. They are not recommended for vehicles with ride height adjustable WK2 air shocks and struts, and professional installation is advised.

Key Features

• Lift compatibility: Designed specifically for 1-4in lift applications on 2011-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango to maintain proper suspension geometry after lifting.
• Heavy-duty construction: Tubular alloy steel construction provides durability under off-road and spirited driving conditions for longer service life.
• Greaseable ball joint: Pressed-in ball joints with a grease nipple and sealed boot make maintenance straightforward and protect the joint from contaminants.
• Camber adjustability: Large ball position and control arm bushing design allow for precise camber adjustments to reduce premature tire wear and improve cornering.
• Corrosion protection: Proprietary dual-layer coating improves rust resistance for vehicles exposed to road salt and wet environments.
• Serviceability: Removable ball head and bushing simplify maintenance and replacement without disturbing the entire assembly.

Who It's For

These control arms are best for owners of 2011-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee (WK2) or Dodge Durango who have installed spring lift kits or leveling kits in the 1-4in range and need stronger, adjustable upper arms to restore alignment and handling. Enthusiasts who do off-road driving, drift practice, or demand improved cornering and reduced tire wear will appreciate the camber adjustment and greaseable joints.

They are not a good choice for vehicles equipped with ride height adjustable WK2 air shocks and struts, and drivers who expect a bolt-in, non-professional installation should budget for a shop; professional installation is recommended to ensure the oiling nozzle and components are oriented correctly.
