    Just greased my UCA bushings and all of them started to bulge from the pressure off the grease. Never had this happen before. They have only been on the truck for a year and a half. Thought I would get more life out of them. Anybody with aftermarket uca's have the bushings go bad this quick?

    Too much pressure. Loosen the bolt to relive the pressure, and try to bleed some out.

    X2. Need to loosen the bolt, grease them, then re-torque the control arm bolt.
