AJP Distributors Adjustable Front Control Arms | 2001–2005 Lexus IS300

AJP Distributors Adjustable Front Upper Control Arms Review: Camber Upgrade for the 2001–2005 Lexus IS300

Lowering a 2001–2005 Lexus IS300 (XE10) can improve its stance and cornering ability, but it also changes front suspension geometry, often resulting in excessive negative camber and accelerated tire wear. The AJP Distributors Adjustable Front Upper Control Arm Camber Kit is designed to restore proper alignment while improving steering precision and suspension performance.

Featuring CNC-machined tubular steel construction, solid polyurethane bushings, integrated ball joints, and an estimated ±3° camber adjustment range, this direct bolt-on kit gives IS300 owners the flexibility to dial in suspension settings for street driving, drifting, or track use.

Editor’s Note: A professional four-wheel alignment is required after installing adjustable control arms to properly set camber and maximize tire life.

Restore Proper Front Camber

Lowering springs and coilovers frequently introduce excessive front negative camber.

These adjustable upper control arms allow you to:

  • Restore factory alignment
  • Correct excessive camber
  • Improve tire contact patch
  • Reduce uneven tire wear
  • Fine-tune suspension geometry

The estimated ±3° adjustment range is suitable for most street and moderately lowered performance builds.


Tubular Steel Construction

The control arms are manufactured from CNC-machined tubular steel for improved strength over many factory stamped-steel components.

Construction highlights include:

  • High-strength steel alloy
  • CNC-machined components
  • Tubular performance design
  • Powder-coated finish
  • Corrosion-resistant construction

The tubular design also provides additional clearance around suspension components.


Polyurethane Bushings

Unlike factory rubber bushings, these control arms use solid polyurethane bushings.

Benefits include:

  • Reduced suspension deflection
  • Sharper steering response
  • Improved cornering stability
  • Longer service life
  • Better durability under aggressive driving

Because polyurethane is firmer than rubber, drivers may notice a slight increase in road feel and vibration.


Integrated Ball Joints

The included ball joints simplify installation and help restore front suspension performance.

Benefits include:

  • Direct replacement design
  • Improved steering precision
  • Reduced suspension play
  • OE-style installation
  • No need to reuse worn factory ball joints

Improve Handling

Correctly adjusted front camber can improve:

  • Steering response
  • Turn-in precision
  • Front-end grip
  • Cornering confidence
  • Tire longevity

This makes the kit well suited for lowered street cars, autocross builds, drift cars, and occasional track use.


Direct Bolt-On Installation

The kit installs using factory mounting locations.

Typical installation includes:

  1. Safely raise and support the vehicle.
  2. Remove the factory upper control arms.
  3. Install the adjustable AJP Distributors control arms.
  4. Set a preliminary camber adjustment.
  5. Torque all hardware to factory specifications.
  6. Perform a professional four-wheel alignment.

Installation guides are not included, and professional installation is recommended.
