    The Jack. The attachment looks it would help prevent the truck from slipping off the jack.

    Like I said last resort. I had one for 15+ years. Sat in my garage for at least 14 of those years. I've seen vehicles fall off and handles do some damage. If my only 2 options were to either use the hi-lift or die, then I might use the hi-lift.

    Well then, short of installing a lift in my driveway, I use it as last resort a lot. I can't even rotate my tires without it, I have a nice and tall jack but it wont lift up both tires on one side off the ground.

    ABS or non ABS? There is a place local that has manual hub set ups if you want to upgrade. I can pick it up for you and work out a TW express.

So I'm on the phone with camburg trying to get the part delivered. they are saying they may not have it and it may be a few weeks. FACK!! I need my rig and don't have time to deal with this shit. So fucken annoyed

    When I got my used TC UCAs, the passenger side bolt that attached the spindle to the UCA was bent like a mofo. I ordered new ones from Fastenal to replace as well as new "misalignment" sleeves that go inside the uniball itself. I usually check parts before they're installed when they're used because there might be rust or I need to clean junk off makes it obvious if something is broken before I unbolt stuff.

    Call them and see if the bolt is just a normal bolt. Check Fastenal if they have something in stock. I was able to get them to ship something within 2 days from another warehouse. The misalignment spacers should be something Camburg has in stock or in a package. Ask if they're willing to break up a package because you're about to ship your truck overseas. And if they can't ship it right now, ask if they'll ship it to China. Usually when you mention something bizarre they'll stop being lazy and make it happen.

    I don't think your spindle adapter is pressed in all the way. It should be flush at the top of the spindle and have a snap ring around it, unless it broke and that is the result of it.

    WTF is actually wrong? You just need to press the adapter into the spindle and install the c-clip

    "Fucked" doesn't help me try to help you.
    It's a really snug fit...really snug. Years of corrosion and shit from the old ball joint can still be in there. Sometimes you gotta take a wire brush and clean it out.
