    This ^^^ x1000. Anytime this was brought up at the dealer they would instantly make things right. It's their krytonite!

    Almost as bad. We got slammed with the ban hammer that one time.. :laughing:
    Reasons I did miss this place right here :rofl:
    Ehh that number probably went down drastically after I disappeared... :anonymous:
    @SC2SC StopTech is great. Put some of their slotted rotors on my Firebird and it feels great now. @Nicklovin can attest to how horrible it was before and now it stops on a dime. Definitely recommend

    Any of you ladies need to change your balls? I got the tool to do it on the truck if anyone needs to borrow it. Did mine today, the tool makes life easy. It says it will fit all 1" Uniball arms. Let me know.

    Bird. Runner needs that upgrade though and will be getting it

    And yep. Place is really going to shit now :stirthepot: :devil:
    No problem. I bought Akebono pads. Got them because they were have some low dust formula (haven't seen much and I have red calipers so its pretty easy to tell) and because they're heat treated so you don't have to break them in like some other pads. I'm happy with them

    You know if this will fit the Delta Joint? Mixed reviews with some people saying it takes a special size.

    I looked into that. You need this tool to remove the Uniball. Then you need another adapter that icon sells to use with this tool to install the delta joint. It was pretty pricey to go that route. Better off selling your existing and buying new with them already in. I got good life out of the original uniballs 45k. So I just replaced them.

    Thanks Tommy. I'm almost due: Squeak city. The delta Joint seems like a good ball joint and I wanted to give them a try. Might have to go another route unless they become popular enough where someone starts a "lend a tool" thread like the ECG bushing tool threads.

    No prob. I think the delta joints are around $120 more than uniballs and the adapter was $60-70. I was able to do the whole job in less than 3hrs by myself.

    Just saw, $263 plus the install adapter and "shims"?:notsure: $165 for the uniball kit.

    3 hours isn't bad! That's a good afternoon of wrenching.:fistbump:

    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    That's just me, pretty boi. #brokebackpretendrunner

    Haven't heard of a local member that has it yet. At least not anyone with "reputable" wheeling trips under their belt. I'd be curious though, but not $300 curious. I was actually considering JBA arms when I'm due for replacement. Ease of service, but that red though.

    Been using uniballs on the race trucks for years. Why we gotta fuck with that? Cause a ball job (lol) or some dry lube (also lol) is hard? (TOO MUCH DICKS IN THIS POST.)

    Yup. They may get loose and squeaky but rarely fail.
