Light Racing UCAs

Anyone run the Light Racing UCAs Adjustable upper control arms? I have some with my toytec 3in lift and my ball joints are starting to go in just over a year of having them installed. anyone else ran across this issue with them?

 

I've had my LR UCA's for year and a half-ish and they've held up great; no issues with noise, slop or anything else.

If you did quite a bit of wheeling/dirt/water and didn't keep them lubed up, that could cause premature wear.

 

I had the same problem with one of my ball joints on the LR ucas, SPC took care of me and after returning the failed part they sent me a replacement free of charge. So I'd contact SPC and see what they say.

 

In regards to the light racing upper control arms, how do you remove that long bolt on the passenger side?

 

If you are referring to the bolt that holds the UCA in place on the tower, you will need to bend some body steel out of the way in the wheel well using either channel locks or vice grips. This situation arises for anyone that wishes to service their UCAs, not just when dealing with SPC arms.

 

I don't remember having much of a problem with mine...
