ICON 2020+ Ford Ranger Tubular Upper Control Arm - Steel Knuckle # 98511DJ
ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2020+ Ford Ranger Tubular Upper Control Arm Kit # 98511DJ is designed for installation on 5th-Gen Ford Ranger trucks that are the factory equipped with STEEL steering knuckles. Sometime during the 2020 model year ford switched to a steel knuckle (from aluminum) which had a slightly different tapered bore for the upper ball joint. Existing ICON UCA's (and the associated Suspension Systems) were only compatible on trucks equipped with the aluminum knuckles. This control arm is specifically designed to ensure proper compatibility with the steel knuckle equipped Rangers. Keep reading below for more details...

ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2020+ Ford Ranger 2wd and 4x4 Tubular Upper Control Arm Kit # 98511DJ. For use with factory Steel Knuckle equipped models only! ICON engineers researched each component of the new Ranger platform suspension and addressed any areas where performance could be extracted. These tubular upper control arms feature ICON's patented 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.
