ICON 2004+ Ford F150 Uniball Upper Control Arm # 98500
This ICON part number has been discontinued and replaced by an updated part number 98500DJ.
ICON Vehicle Dynamics has made necessary updates so that one Upper Control Arm Kit part number # 98500 fits all 2004 to current model year Ford F-150 2wd and 4WD Trucks. The factory upper ball joints present problems by limiting suspension travel, especially when using the ICON 2.5" VS Series performance coil-over shocks on the Ford F150 trucks. ICON eliminates the weak factory upper ball-joint and instead uses a Teflon Lined Uniball. ICON includes 17-4 Stainless Taper Pin Adapters that increases the upper arms ability to operate at increased angles. This allows for an increase in possible wheel travel without worrying about the factory ball joint binding.

ICON developed their 2004+ Ford F150 Upper Control Arm Kit # 98500 for those customers running a leveling kit or replacement coilover. The Ford F-150 gets pushed to the edge of the alignment spec range after a mild lift or leveling kit is installed. ICON has adjusted the dimensions of their control arm to correct the alignment spec while providing additional castor as well. The tubular steel arm is stronger than the stock one and can operate at steeper angles than the stock one too. This ability to safely operate at steeper angles makes the ICON 98500 Upper Control Arm System especially useful on lifted or leveled trucks. Unique to the engineering of the ICON Uniball Upper Arm is the 2 stage bushing kit that comes standard for reducing deflection along with improving durability and road response.

ICON recommends a maximum of 5.00" inches of back space on both 2wd and 4wd models when running wider than stock tires.
