Help keep steering precise and wheel alignment in check on your 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma or 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner with the SKP front left upper control arm, part number SK521653. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications and takes the place of a worn arm that may be causing uneven tire wear or vague steering. For engine-specific details, see the Buyer's Guide tab.
Tacoma owners often call it an A-arm. This suspension control arm links the wheel assembly to the vehicle's frame and helps hold the wheel in proper alignment as the suspension moves.
This listing is for one front left upper arm. Control arms work as a left and right pair, so replacing both sides together is recommended. Have the wheel alignment checked after installation.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
Is this Toyota Tacoma control arm the upper or lower arm?
It is the front left upper control arm, not a lower arm. Compare its position with the arm you are replacing before you order.
Does it fit the 4Runner as well as the Tacoma?
Yes. It is listed as a direct-fit replacement for the 1995-2004 Toyota Tacoma and the 1996-2002 Toyota 4Runner. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific details.
What are signs a control arm may need replacing?
Uneven tire wear, imprecise steering and clunking over bumps can be signs of a worn control arm. Other suspension parts can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing it.
What is this control arm made of?
SKP makes it from high-strength steel and finishes it with a corrosion-resistant coating that helps protect it from rust.
Should I replace both sides and get an alignment?
This listing is for one front left upper arm. Replacing both sides together is recommended, and a wheel alignment check after installation is good practice.
