This ICON billet aluminum upper control arm kit is designed to
improve the overall performance of the new Ford Raptor with corrected
front end geometry, adjustable camber and caster, and improved
suspension component clearance. These are constructed of CNC machined
6061 billet aluminum merging light weight with high strength properties.
Replacing the OE ball joint with the available ICON Delta Joint allows
for full bump and droop travel of the front suspension while eliminating
bind. FK Rod End 7/8" heim joints provide precise and smooth function
throughout the range of travel while ICON's signature double adjuster
sleeve allows for on-vehicle camber and caster adjustment. Included with
all components and hardware necessary for a complete install, these
billet UCAs are the perfect upgrade for the 2010-UP Ford Raptor.
These
upper control arms feature ICON's patent pending Delta Joint. The Delta
Joint is a heavy duty high angle ball joint that combines the
durability of a ball joint with the performance characteristics of a
traditional uniball. While the industry standard uniball does a great
job of allowing the control arms of a vehicle to articulate with little
bind, they do have an inherent weakness that leaves more to be desired
when used in a daily driven application - exposure to the elements. The
Delta Joint features a zinc plated housing providing the first layer of
corrosion resistance, while a tough grease seal keeps potentially
harmful elements out of the inner workings of the joint. Metal on metal
construction and a greasable design increase the longevity of the Delta
Joint while at the same time allowing for noise-free operation. What
makes the Delta Joint unique is that it brings the best of both worlds
to ICON upper control arms with features that make it more robust than a
uniball, and at the same time capable of greater angularity than a
typical ball joint.
