BUILT FOR LIFTED TUNDRAS
Old Man Emu Upper Control Arms | Toyota Tundra 2022+
A suspension lift changes more than ride height. It changes suspension geometry.
When the independent front suspension on a 2022+ Toyota Tundra is lifted, factory caster and camber adjustment can be pushed beyond the range Toyota originally designed into the truck. That can make achieving proper alignment more difficult and compromise steering feel, suspension movement and tyre wear.
The Old Man Emu UCA0016 Upper Control Arm Kit is engineered specifically for lifted Tundra applications, helping restore usable suspension geometry while providing the strength, clearance and articulation expected from a properly engineered suspension system.
WHY UPGRADE THE UPPER CONTROL ARMS?
Lifting the Truck Is Only Half the Job
The factory Tundra upper control arms were designed around factory suspension height. Raise the front suspension and the relationship between the chassis, steering knuckle and control arm changes with it.
Old Man Emu engineered the UCA0016 specifically for lifted 2022+ Tundras, helping bring caster and camber adjustment back into an appropriate range while providing the additional clearance required by upgraded suspension components.
The result is a suspension system that works together rather than simply sitting taller, with proper alignment capability, predictable steering and improved freedom of movement for the upgraded suspension.
Engineered as Part of the Suspension System
Corrected Suspension Geometry
Designed to improve caster and camber adjustment on lifted 2022+ Tundras, helping achieve proper front-end alignment.
Heavy-Duty Construction
Tubular steel construction with forged eyelets and forged ball joint housings provides strength where suspension loads are concentrated.
GIIRO® Bushings
Free-pivoting, grease-free and maintenance-free bushings allow smooth control-arm movement without routine lubrication.
Heavy-Duty Ball Joint
A greaseable heavy-duty ball joint with protective cap is designed for durability through demanding road and trail conditions.
Built for Lifted Tundras
Purpose-designed for the suspension geometry of lifted 2022+ Tundras rather than adapting a universal control arm to the application.
Designed for OME Suspension
An ideal companion to Old Man Emu MT64 and BP-51 suspension systems when building a complete Tundra suspension package.
THE REAL-WORLD DIFFERENCE
Build the Suspension to Drive Properly, Not Just Sit Higher
A built Tundra might carry a canopy, rooftop tent, drawers, recovery gear, bumper and winch, but it still has to drive to work, run down the highway and cover hundreds of kilometres before the trail even begins.
Steering response, alignment and predictable handling matter just as much on pavement as suspension travel does off-road.
That's why we look at upper control arms as part of the complete suspension system. The objective isn't simply more clearance. It's getting the geometry right so the upgraded suspension can perform properly everywhere you actually drive the truck.

BUILDING A COMPLETE OME TUNDRA?
The Natural Partner for MT64 & BP-51
If you're investing in an Old Man Emu suspension system for your Tundra, the UCA0016 allows the front suspension geometry to be addressed as part of the complete build.
We recommend considering the UCA0016 alongside both Old Man Emu MT64 and BP-51 Tundra suspension systems, particularly when targeting the full available front lift.
The shocks and springs determine how the suspension supports and controls the truck. The upper control arms help ensure the geometry allows that suspension to work properly.
VEHICLE FITMENT
Toyota Tundra 2022+
UCA0016 is designed for third-generation Toyota Tundra applications.
- Vehicle: Toyota Tundra
- Generation: GEN3
- Model Years: 2022+
Suspension geometry and clearances should be checked during installation, followed by a proper wheel alignment. Vehicles using oversized tyres, aftermarket wheels or additional suspension modifications should also be checked for adequate clearance throughout the suspension and steering range.
THE CAP-IT TAKE
If You're Building the Suspension, Finish the Suspension.
The 2022+ Tundra has become an outstanding platform for canopy, camping and overland builds. Those builds also make suspension selection increasingly important as weight is added and ride height changes.
We particularly like the UCA0016 as part of a complete Old Man Emu MT64 or BP-51 system. You're already investing in a premium suspension designed around the way the truck will actually be used. It makes sense to address the front suspension geometry at the same time.
For a properly equipped 2022+ Tundra running an Old Man Emu suspension system, the UCA0016 is the control arm we'd pair with the build.
