Let's talk Icon's new Delta Joint

Just installed them on my friends suspension @SStaco714 this past weekend. Makes me want to swap out my squeaky uniballs.

 

Thank you. But how do you know this? I searched online and didn't find anything. Planning on calling TC next....

 

I'm an authorised service center and email/call Icon weekly.

 

Gimmicks! Don't waste your money, or do whatever but for that kind of cash you'd be much better off relocating the shocks and/or doing a chevy 63 swap or just go long travel.
I looked at this stuff and Icon is late to the party. Not sure who actually makes the leaf springs for them but they look like allpro's expos and those shocks will still limit your wheel travel to roughly 10" total. Bling bling factor is there tho haha

 

Thanks hx989 for the input. I for sure got in over my head on my build... horse before the carriage kind of a situation or just simply uniformed purchase choises on my part. I realize now that I could of paid half of what I did for equipment that would of served its purpose the same if not better than the ICON STG7 kit,(And I got the secondary's). But with its pros and cons I am happy with this bolt on kit. And believe me, I don't have the lose $$ just to bling out. I should of done my homework before investing in my build.

 

Updates on the deltas? Was going to go light racing uca but considering the icon uca's to match my kit.

 

No update yet. I'm Waiting on the instal still. Soon hopefully.

 

THE ARRIVAL!!

 

I helped install @Superman910's delta joint UCAs. They look like a decent package compared to my TC uniballs. Not sure if he will be able to shed much light on them, but they did feel nice riding in his truck and were pretty quiet.

 

Nice stuff for sure

 

so after going about 25k miles on the original set of UCA's with uniballs i ordered a rebuild kit b/c they were shot. after installing the new uniballs they gave me noise from jump and felt like they were binding. i lube them regulerly and have caps on them so i was not happy. i was ready to toss these Icons and move on to something else. ordered a set of Camburgs with a Moog ball joint which were on back order for months.

than these came out....i canceled my camburg order and Wheelers sent me the kit. what a huge differance....these are silky smooth and as quiet as can be. i only have approx 600 miles on them right now but they have been a huge improvement over the uniballs. best part i got to keep my Icon UCA's and didnt have to fork the extra dough for another set of UCA's.

 

600 miles is nothing. My Total Chaos UCAs were completely silent the first 15k miles without top caps or regular cleaning/lubing but now squeak to holy hell and have some slop too. SEMA can't come soon enough because I'm not buying a replacement uniball set I want those deltas in my Total Chaos arms already!

 

6k miles on the wife's 4runner w/ Icon UCA's and they have drove us both crazy from mile one with the squeaking! I grease the bushings every week, cleaned the balls and put a ton of powder lube on them and put the caps on and they still squeak!

I've had Icon suspension on at least 10 vehicles counting 4runner's, fj's and superduties and never had any issues. Going to order the delta joints and hope it's the cure.

 

Delta joint installed

 

WOW, that's a lot of Icon going on there!

 

I hope to avoid this squeaky business with the Delta joint--

 

You'll be good till the lower rod end bearings start to wear.

I've got about 2k on my T4R, still silent and perfect for the wifes DD.

 

Good lord. All I see is money.

...and an electrical parts box in a cart which hints at a union electrician.

 

Haha... me too my man
