Control Arms
EFS Upper Control Arms, pair — Toyota Land Cruiser 120/150, FJ Cruiser
Once a Land Cruiser is lifted, the factory upper arms run out of camber adjustment and the steering knuckle ball joint works at the edge of its travel. These EFS arms bring the geometry back to OEM spec, add 3 degrees of ball joint articulation and free up more axle flex. Supplied as a pair with greasable ball joints and a black powder coat finish.
EFS Upper Control Arms, pair — Toyota Land Cruiser 120/150, FJ Cruiser
A lift changes the front-end geometry of a Land Cruiser faster than most owners expect. Camber goes out, tyres start wearing on one edge and the steering knuckle ball joint is working at the very end of its travel. The factory arm has no way of correcting that, because it was designed around stock ride height.
EFS upper control arms are built for the lifted truck. They pull the wheel alignment back to OEM specification, optimise the camber angle and give the steering knuckle ball joint 3 extra degrees of movement, while adding clearance and front axle flex off road.

Key benefits
- Alignment corrected back to OEM specification, so tyres wear evenly and the truck tracks straight on the highway.
- Camber angle optimised for a lifted vehicle — the adjustment a factory arm simply cannot give you.
- More ground clearance and more front axle articulation, which keeps a wheel loaded longer on twisted ground.
- Higher load capacity at the steering knuckle ball joint plus 3 degrees of extra travel, so the joint is less likely to bind at full droop.
- Greasable ball joints and OEM-type bushes — the joint can be serviced instead of replacing the whole arm.
- Black powder coat finish with an anodised green ball joint cap for life under the truck.

Who it is for
For Land Cruiser 150, Land Cruiser 120/121/125 and FJ Cruiser owners running a lift kit who want the truck to stay predictable on the road as well as off it. If your workshop cannot bring the alignment back into spec after a lift, the upper arm is usually the limiting part.
Fitting notes
Arms are replaced in pairs, one per side, and a front end alignment is required afterwards. When the joints eventually wear, you replace the bushes and ball joint from service kit 11-0007BBK rather than buying a complete arm.
Why buy these
- They fix the actual problem a lifted truck has — geometry, not just looks.
- Serviceable design: greasable joints and an available rebuild kit.
- Backed by a 5 year, unlimited kilometre warranty.
If a lift is on your list for a Land Cruiser or FJ Cruiser, budget the arms in from the start — it costs less than a set of scrubbed tyres.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I get both sides?
Yes, the price covers a pair — left and right arm.
Which vehicles do these arms fit?
Toyota Land Cruiser 150 (non-KDSS, non-Grande versions), Land Cruiser 120/121/125 from 2003 and FJ Cruiser from 2006.
Are the ball joints greasable?
Yes. EFS uses greasable ball joints together with OEM-type bushes, so the joint can be serviced in place.
What happens when the bushes or the ball joint wear out?
You do not need a new arm. Service kit 11-0007BBK covers it and contains 2 bushes and 1 steering knuckle ball joint.
What warranty applies?
5 years with no kilometre limit.
