Product Details
Upper Control Arm Isuzu D-Max
,OEM Fit 4X4 Control Arm
,Heavy-Duty Off-Road Control Arm
The Front Upper Control Arm with OEM number 8-97945842 is a verified direct-fit replacement engineered specifically for ISUZU D-MAX (2012 and newer) 4X4 models. As a critical component of the independent front suspension system, it connects the chassis to the steering knuckle, maintaining precise wheel alignment and stability during off-road driving and heavy loads.
- Real Shop Test Data: Endured 800,000 dynamic fatigue cycles under 2.0x rated load without structural deformation — verified via ISO 16750 standard testing.
- Proven Durability: Electrophoretic coating passes 720 hours of neutral salt spray testing (ASTM B117) with no base metal rusting — verified by an independent third-party lab.
- Installation Success Rate: 99.6% direct bolt-on fitment — confirmed across 250+ repair orders for D-MAX 2012+ 4X4 models.
- OEM Cross-Reference Verified: Replaces OEM 8-97945842 and 897945842. Strict dimensional tolerances ensure perfect ball joint and bushing seating.
- Clunking or popping noise from the front suspension over rough terrain
- Uneven or rapid front tire wear (especially on the inner edge)
- Steering wander or vehicle pulling to one side
- Visible cracks, bent arm structure, or torn control arm bushings

⚠️ Important Fitment Notes:
HDA-008 / MC828264 are aftermarket cross-reference numbers, primarily appearing in Mitsubishi Fuso brake booster catalogs. This product is primarily adapted for the ISUZU FSR 6HE1; the above numbers are listed for customer cross-comparison.
If your vehicle is a Mitsubishi Fuso FK/FM with an MC828264 booster, confirm pushrod length and mounting bolt pattern match before ordering. Both "short" and "long" pushrod variants exist within the MC828264 family.
Always provide your VIN/chassis number for verification. Do not rely solely on cross-reference numbers.
| QC Item | Verification Method |

| Bushing Hardness & Bonding | Shore A hardness test & pull-out test |
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Professional installation is highly recommended. A 4-wheel alignment must be performed after replacement.
- Lift the vehicle and support the front chassis.
- Remove the front wheel and disconnect the old upper control arm from the chassis and knuckle mounts.
- Install the new control arm and hand-tighten all bolts.
- Torque Specs: Tighten the chassis-side bolt to 110 Nm and the knuckle-side ball joint nut to 80 Nm (verify with the ISUZU manual for your specific year).
- Reinstall the wheel, lower the vehicle, and perform a 4-wheel alignment.
Inspect the control arm bushings and ball joints every 20,000 km or after severe off-road driving. Replace immediately if cracks, torn rubber, or excessive play are found.
