The bottom line: this part is aimed at DIY mechanics and independent shops seeking a steel, pre-assembled replacement that matches factory fit and saves time on installation.

Key Features

• Direct fit replacement: Pre-assembled construction eliminates the need for modifications and helps the part install like the original upper arm.
• Included ball joint: Having the ball joint installed reduces parts sourcing and simplifies the swap for a quicker repair.
• Steel construction: Durable material choice meant to withstand road loads and provide long service life on rear wheel drive front upper applications.
• Bushings included: The control arm ships with bushings installed, which reduces preparatory work and aligns with OEM style mounting points.
• Compatibility references: Multiple reference numbers and fitment notes make it easier to confirm this arm for 1988-95 Isuzu Pup models prior to purchase.

Who It's For

This part is best for DIY owners and independent repair shops working on 1988-1995 Isuzu Pup pickup trucks with rear wheel drive that need a front upper control arm replacement on the driver side. It is also appropriate for buyers who prefer a pre-assembled unit to reduce labor time and avoid separate ball joint installation.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of vehicles outside the listed fitment and anyone requiring a greaseable or adjustable control arm, as this unit is non-greaseable and non-adjustable.
