Camburg Engineering Suspension Control Arm Kit

Camburg Engineering Suspension Control Arm Kits: Race-Bred Geometry for the Street and Trail

Camburg Engineering has built its reputation on a simple but powerful idea: race-proven components should be available to every enthusiast, not just elite off-road teams. Founded in 1997 by Jerry Zaiden and Jason Campbell after years of experience in the off-road racing and manufacturing industries, the company's initial goal was to offer products and services that were only available to elite off-road racing teams. That racing DNA runs directly through every suspension control arm kit they produce.

Why Camburg Control Arm Kits Stand Apart

When lifting a vehicle, the stock upper arms become the limiting factor and hold back suspension performance. Camburg's upper arms address these issues by building in more caster and changing the camber curve to correct geometry, so the vehicle aligns correctly and improves driving characteristics and handling. This precision engineering is what separates a Camburg kit from a generic lift — it's not just about adding height, it's about restoring and improving the geometry your truck needs to perform.

Camburg's control arms are CAD/CAM engineered for maximum wheel travel and correct shock motion ratio geometry, and are considerably stronger than stock arms, featuring internal gusseting and pivots on FK 1" uniballs at the frame for zero binding and consistent geometry. Arms are CAD designed, laser cut, CNC formed, MIG welded, and powder coated — a manufacturing process that reflects a truly engineering-first approach.

Signature Technologies: X-Joint XL and Uniball Systems

Camburg replaces the stock ball joint with their X-Joint XL — an extreme performance, all-weather, high-angle ball joint. These are much higher quality and considerably stronger than OEM joints, with an improved boot design that allows for higher angle use, better greasing, and increased longevity, all built with higher-strength heat-treated chromoly materials.

On lower control arm kits, Camburg replaces the lower ball joint with an FK 1.00" uniball at the spindle for maximum strength and articulation, using machined heat-treated stainless-steel misalignment spacers — no modification to the spindle taper is necessary. The uniball spacers also feature a larger diameter for better clamping force and to prevent ovaling out over time.

Upper and Lower Control Arm Options

Upper control arms are a must-have for anyone adding a bolt-on coilover, as they are designed to correct camber and caster issues that arise when using OEM upper arms with aftermarket coilovers — while also eliminating weak factory ball joints. For lower control arms, Camburg offers bolt-on stock-length lower control arms for those looking to upgrade to the strongest possible option, and these also open the door to adding Camburg's optional Slapper bump stop system for improved bottom-out control.

Fitment spans a wide range of popular platforms, including Toyota Tacoma, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota FJ Cruiser, Lexus GX470, and Lexus GX460, as well as Toyota Tundra, Toyota Land Cruiser, Ford F-150 Raptor, and Chevy/GMC trucks — making Camburg one of the most broadly compatible control arm manufacturers in the off-road segment.

Race-Tested, Street-Ready

Camburg's over-the-counter parts are race tested constantly and have won numerous championships. Not many other companies design, build, and race on their own components — this sets Camburg apart as they establish the trend rather than follow it. When you install a Camburg control arm kit, you're fitting components that have been validated at the highest level of off-road competition, all in a bolt-on package engineered for real-world reliability.
