ARE TC UCA REALLY BAD?

x2

 

Agreed 100%

 

I find it hard to believe that you have a wrong arm/s. How far down South Jersey are you? I am down by the shore points frequently and can compare them to mine if you like. Also, there is an alignment wizard we know up in these parts that will actually adjust the bolt on LR's. Perfect every time. PM me if you like.

 

This is the wizard I speak of ^

 

Thanks for this! Looks like I'll be going with TC UCAs since I can get a stainless option. I went to both DOUTH SOUTH MOTOR SPORTS and TOTAL CHAOS website to order them but did not see a stainless option for the ball joints. Is this something I'll need to call and order over the phone?

Any help pointing me in the right direction would be great!

 

I know that the DSM ones are automatically SS balls I don't know about the TC ones. On the DSM ones there is no option its stainless or nothing. If you want exacts look at the link I posted earlier and their website or just shoot them an e-mail. They are pretty quick to respond. Trying to save you some money plus DSM is awesome to work with!

 

If you get them, I'd upgrade to the stainless steel uniballs. My uniballs squeeked a lot. I would reapply dry lube every now and then, and it'd go back to squeeking again. I tried to clean them out yesterday but found the uniballs to be pretty jacked up.

I just ordered a set of stainless steel uniballs from summit racing.

btw, my TC UCAs are ~4 years old

 

all the upper control arms have grease zerks Correct???

 

I know the TCs do, but you can't get between the bushings and the washers, just in the bushings. I had to take out the main bolt to loosen everything, to shoot some teflon grease in there because it was squeeking going over bumps

 

Thanks! I just quickly searched the site for uniball and or tacoma and came up with nothing....do you have a part number?

 

ENDTHREAD: called TC and ordered a set w/stainless uniballs. Pat on the phone was very helpful! They should be in soon! Pics to come
