Front Lower Control Arm (Right Hand Side) – Toyota LandCruiser 200 Series
Replace your worn, bent, clunking or rusted right-hand (passenger side) front lower control arm on your Toyota LandCruiser 200 Series (UZJ200 petrol or VDJ200 turbo diesel, 2007-on) with this heavy-duty replacement from Machter Auto Parts. Direct fit for the front lower lateral control arm – fixes steering play, knocking over bumps, poor handling, tyre rub or uneven wear after high mileage, towing heavy trailers, off-road abuse, corrosion or lift kits on these IFS Cruisers in Australia.
Key Features
- Single right-hand (RH/passenger side) front lower control arm – complete ready-to-install unit
- Direct bolt-on fit for 2007-current Toyota LandCruiser 200 Series (UZJ200/VDJ200 all variants)
- High-strength steel construction – thicker and reinforced compared to factory for added rigidity
- Matte black powder coat finish – rust-resistant and low-glare for off-road use
- Pre-installed high-density polyurethane or rubber bushings – greaseable, long-lasting and reduced deflection
- Precision-welded end fittings – maintains correct length and geometry for proper alignment
- Compatible with factory or aftermarket ball joints, shocks, coils and suspension kits
Benefits
- Eliminates clunks & front-end play – tighter, more precise steering and quieter ride
- Restores correct suspension geometry – reduces tyre wear, improves stability and handling
- Stronger than worn factory arm – handles heavy towing, rock crawling or high-speed dirt roads
- Prevents further damage – stops stress on ball joints, tie rods, bushings and diff
- Essential for roadworthy & safety – bent or rusted arms can fail inspection in NSW
- Great for high-mileage work rigs, off-road builds or resto projects – brings front suspension back to solid
Fitment Notes
- Suitable for 2007-current Toyota LandCruiser 200 Series (UZJ200/VDJ200) – front lower control arm (right hand/passenger side)
- Professional installation recommended – torque bushings/bolts to spec, re-align vehicle (caster/camber/toe) and test drive
- Replace both sides together – worn arms cause uneven handling and wear
- Inspect upper arms, panhard rod, shocks, ball joints & diff mounts while replacing – common to do full front suspension refresh
- May require alignment after install – especially if lifted or running larger tyres

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs of a worn or failing front lower control arm on a 200 Series?
Common symptoms include a harsh metallic clunking or knocking sound under the floor when braking or driving over uneven ground, a noticeable shudder in the steering wheel during acceleration, and rapid tyre wear on the inner or outer edges. Because the lower arm handles the majority of the cornering and braking forces, split bushings or a loose ball joint will also cause the vehicle to track vaguely or pull to one side.
Are the bushings and lower ball joint supplied pre-installed?
Yes, this is a fully assembled, heavy-duty structural arm that comes pre-fitted with premium inner pivot rubber bushings and a high-strength lower ball joint. Swapping out the complete assembly saves significant labor time on a workshop press and eliminates the risk of distorting the arm when attempting to force out old, seized factory components.
Can I use this right-hand side control arm on the left-hand side?
No, they are strictly side-specific. The Right-Hand Side (RHS - driver side in Australia) front lower control arm features an asymmetrical design layout with specific mounting geometry for the shock absorber base, sway bar link brackets, and lower ball joint alignment angle. It cannot be flipped or inverted to fit the left-hand side.
Will this fit all 200 Series models from 2007 onwards?
Yes, this arm is engineered to fit all 200 Series LandCruiser platforms from 2007 to the end of production. It is completely compatible with the 4.5L V8 twin-turbo diesel (VDJ200) and 4.7L / 4.6L V8 petrol variants (UZJ200 / URJ200), accommodating standard factory or aftermarket upgraded heavy-duty strut assemblies.
Is a wheel alignment necessary after changing the front lower arm?
Yes, a professional wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory immediately following installation. The inner pivot points of the lower control arm are secured with eccentric adjustment bolts that directly set your vehicle's camber, caster, and toe settings. Disturbing these bolts means your alignment will be entirely uncalibrated, which will cause immediate tyre scrub and unpredictable steering handling if not realigned.
