JBA Offroad Upper Control Arms And Suspension MEGA Thread BS thread

The newest version doesn't need any zerks, just like OEM Bushing on OEM UCA's. He said he put them there as people were asking for them in case they wanted zerks. But zerks on the newest versions are not needed. Which is why I posted that link for the screws to fill the holes.

 

Yep I could see why people would think that.

 

Will these uca fix this problem?

 

100% yes

 

I was reading on one of the post.. i'm still riding on my stock '17 sport wheels with stock tires will i rub when i turn lock to lock?

 

+1

 

Any info before I pull the trigger on these?

 

I have TRD Beadlock wheels with 3 inches of lift in the front and 265/75/16 Tires and I don't rub anything

 

I plan on upgrading to trd pro sema wheels later, should'nt have a problem with those too right?

 

Nope

 

Oh god!

Yes, these will fix that problem, but you also need to find a shop that will actually adjust caster and camber or find out if your lower control arm eccentrics are seized because the shop did NOT adjust them. You got the "Toe&Go" alignment.

 

Now that's funny

 

Can someone explain to me the backspacing issue? Do I need any value above 4.5 or any value below 4.5?

 

So 4.89 backspacing would absolutely not fit these uca's with 33's then?

 

I am indeed referencing a 255 80 17 ET10. Technically I beleive my tire is a 32.8

 

255/85R16's, 4.5 B's, no rub

 

Well that is the advertised spec I would expect it not to rub.

4.9 though...

 

i'll try remember to get one tomorrow

 

Installing these today, is it the standard Tacoma 85ftlb of torque on the thru bolt? I torqued to that and I couldn't even move it by hand. I left everything loose for reassembly then re torqued once the ball joint was torqued down.
