ICON Vehicle Dynamics 2019-2021 Ford Ranger Tubular Upper Control Arm Delta Joint Kit

The ICON Vehicle Dynamics Tubular Upper Control Arm Delta Joint Kit fits 2019–2021 Ford Rangers equipped with aluminum knuckles and replaces the factory upper control arm with a CNC-bent 1026 DOM steel assembly featuring ICON's patented Delta Joint, a high-angle ball joint engineered to deliver the articulation range of a uniball with the weather resistance and longevity of a conventional ball joint. This kit is not compatible with the Ranger Raptor or with Rangers equipped with steel knuckles.

Built to Handle Daily Driving and the Trail

The 1026 DOM steel tube is CNC bent and finished in a semi-gloss black powder coat, giving the arm the structural rigidity to handle repeated off-road stress without adding unnecessary weight. Powder coating over DOM steel resists corrosion from mud, water, and road salt, so the arm holds up whether the Ranger sees a weekend trail run or a daily commute through winter weather.

The Delta Joint Advantage

ICON's patented Delta Joint (U.S. Patent No. 10,731,700) addresses the core weakness of a standard uniball: exposure to the elements. A zinc-plated housing provides an outer layer of corrosion resistance, and a tough grease seal keeps contaminants away from the joint's internal surfaces. The metal-on-metal construction is greaseable and serviceable, so the joint can be maintained over time rather than replaced outright, an important consideration for a component that sees constant suspension cycling. The Delta Joint allows greater angularity than a typical ball joint while remaining quieter and more durable in daily use than an open uniball.

Caster Correction and Wheel Travel

Built-in caster correction is engineered into the arm geometry, restoring proper alignment specifications after a lift is installed and improving straight-line stability and steering feel. When paired with ICON 2.5 Series coilovers, the tubular upper control arm can increase available wheel travel over the factory configuration, translating to more suspension compliance over rough terrain without sacrificing on-road handling.

Who This Is For and Isn't

This kit suits 2019–2021 Ford Ranger owners running a lifted setup who want increased wheel travel, restored caster geometry, and a front suspension joint that holds up to both off-road articulation and daily-driven exposure to the elements, particularly when paired with ICON 2.5 Series coilovers.

This kit does not fit the Ford Ranger Raptor. It is also not compatible with Rangers equipped with steel (non-aluminum) knuckles; buyers should confirm their knuckle type before ordering.

Common Questions

Which Ford Rangers does this control arm kit fit?

The ICON Tubular Upper Control Arm Delta Joint Kit fits 2019–2021 Ford Rangers equipped with aluminum knuckles only. It does not fit the Ranger Raptor or any Ranger variant with steel knuckles. Buyers should verify their knuckle material before purchasing.

What is the Delta Joint and why does it matter?

The Delta Joint (U.S. Patent No. 10,731,700) is ICON's patented high-angle ball joint. It combines the wide articulation range of a uniball with the weather protection of a conventional ball joint, using a zinc-plated housing, a grease seal, and a greaseable metal-on-metal design that can be serviced rather than replaced when worn.

Does this kit include caster correction?

Yes. Caster correction is built into the arm geometry of the ICON Tubular Upper Control Arm, restoring proper alignment specifications after a lift is installed and helping maintain stable, predictable steering feel on and off road.

Will this control arm increase wheel travel?

When paired with ICON 2.5 Series coilovers, the ICON Tubular Upper Control Arm can increase available front wheel travel compared to the factory configuration. No specific travel figure is stated for this kit alone.

Is the Delta Joint serviceable over time?

Yes. The Delta Joint uses a greaseable, metal-on-metal construction with a grease seal to keep contaminants out. This design allows the joint to be maintained and re-greased over its service life, extending longevity compared to a sealed or non-serviceable uniball.
