    Wait...what?
    Isn't that a rubber bump that's supposed to go between the rod end and the wiper cap?

    I haven't aligned it yet, need the new top out bumper to finish the project, but yes that is the procedure. If you can to the alignment yourself, then pop the wheels on and re measure and adjust from there. I have a Firestone near me so I am just going to run over there, get the readings and have them do the toe, and repeat until dialed in.

    Yes, it is the same one. What's odd is that both sides were different, the other side had what I believe is the more common configuration.

    It is way overpriced but it might be worth it? Besides being greats able and stronger would the steering feel way tighter or better?

    TREs are one thing I have never had noise or issues with thankfully.

    Just as an FYI along this line of thought. I have TC coil bucket gussets and heimed icon uppers. I had to machine down the 4 outside spacers to get the to fit in the TC gussets.

    That's what I figured. If you end up going that route let me know how it goes!

    yeah i have the heim joint TC UCA's and i asked TC if they would work with their weld-on bucket gussets.
    their response: "The weld-on bucket gussets will work with the heim UCA’s, however, you will have to machine off 3/16” off of each outer heim spacer to make them fit (on our traditional bushing UCA’s you just leave off the outermost washer)."

    There you go.

    I can confirm that the DK gussets and heims work together quite well, a minor bit of trimming to get the tightest fit, but otherwise a very good fit.

    I switched b/c the Fox's are a little bit bigger and have a longer shaft for my ride. Plus the Icons ride a little hard at slow speed (35 mph or below) and I apparently I drive at slower speed than I thought I would on the trails plus on the road. Plus I needed something a little more comfortable and something that I could adjust the ride dapping.
