JBA Offroad Upper Control Arms And Suspension MEGA Thread BS thread

85ft/lb should be good.

 

Just ordered my UCAs for 2015 SBDC, I currently have OME 886s and SEMA Pro wheels. I don't currently have any rubbing with no trimming. I am still reading through the 100+ pages in this thread, but is there anything else I will need to replace when I install the new UCAs? I have a friend that has changed his UCAs before helping me. I just want to get everything ordered that I need. Are there and special tools tips or tricks? I have the torque wrenches. Thanks for any info. I will keep reading this thread looking for the answers as well.

Ok thanks.

 

Just went to get the alignment done and was told the 3 of 4 LCA cam bolts were rusted solid. Ended up getting new LCA's and hardware to compliment the new UCA's. I guess a 2008 with 140k of NH winter love did them in. Do these numbers look OK for a truck that has OME / Dakar lift with the JBA UCA's?

 

I ordered the high caster ones since I had the OME lift in the truck. What needs to be adjusted for the caster to come up to that range? Gonna have to call Toyota and see if it was something he didnt know or if it was something that couldn't be adjusted further because of rust.

 

Awesome, I dont know how I missed that. Going back in on Friday to have it brought up to those numbers

 

@Blackout14 will I run into issues rubbing high caster arms with stock 2017 sport rims and tires? Lifted a little over 2 inches in the front. Plan to upgrade wheel and tire later just don't want to rub now..

 

Yeah stock tires, awesome I'll keep you guys posted install and alignment tomorrow. I would upgrade wheel and tires now but the misses would kill me

 

@Blackout14 since I got the newest uca that Marlin makes do these need to be greased at all. I'm reading this thread and the design has changed a few times unsure what the newest one has

 

Just bought a set of the 17" TRD Sema wheels, going to wrap some 255/75/17's on them. From everything I can see I should be OK clearing the high caster arms?

 

I have lifetime alignments through fire stone and they only adjust to factory spec ughh wouldn't do the 3 caster I requested.

 

definitely drives much better compared to .6 and .8 caster. haven't taken it out on the freeway yet, ill report back. I can't justify paying 100+ to get an alignment from a different shop.. think ill try another firestone that isn't so anal..

 

I finally got the print out for my alignment texted to me from the shop that did mine. Told them it's had a slight pull to the left. Drivers caster is 1,2 and pass is 2,0 ... guess I know why. Looks like I'll be going back. Was going to wait until I did my uca, but he said that would cause a new charge. So now I'll just have them redo it out of principle and just get it done again when I do the uca.

 

Yeah, some roads are worse than others. Picked up some horse feed a while back and my wife was like, I can feel you trying to keep it to the right. So, if she noticed it from the pass seat, it's no fun. Other roads, it's not too bad. Go figure.

 

OK so I'm at Toyota and they cant bring the caster up because the A arms are fixed and cant be adjusted? Is there another method of bringing caster up? Is it possible I was shipped standard caster UCA's?

 

Go to a real alignment shop, post pics of the box they came in

 

Ill take some pictures of it when I get home.

 

No offense but never go to Toyota for an out of spec alignment.
