South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

Ah ok. I figured since the truck is a 2005 and still has the stock UCAs, that the horrendous popping when I turn is from the UCAs, and the popping is from them wearing due to the lift.

 

The UCA and LCA don't wear out. The bushings and Balljoints do. It sounds like you need to figure out what actually is causing the noise you hear. Check your LCA busings, I have had the stock ones start to slip in and out of the LCA.

Is it recommended to get new bushings/balljoints for the stock UCA/LCAs or not? Is it possible to replace on them on the stock UCA/LCAs?

 

Yup.

Although my 20mo can already work the tv remote and has figured out how to get her shows to play on whatever streaming service she selects.

 

It is possible to replace them, it's easier if you have access to a shop press but you can cut/torch out the old bushing. Auto parts stores rent tools that might help with this process but that shop press will make it easy.

I’m done messing with my suspension and would rather have someone do it that has the experience, correct tools, and patience.

 

All it takes is money

 

I bought new LCA’s when I bought my new Icon Delta Joint UCA’s.

The Moog LCA’s are perfect; made a world of difference. @Sandman614 helped me diagnose my popping noise- it was driver rear LCA bushing. Replacing the bushing is not a common task- replacing the LCA’s only cost about $140.00 or so each.

Made a huge difference! My truck now drives better then ever

 

This is just a little guy, but it should get you through.

Why spend 140$ when you can spend closer to 1400$?

I’m hooking up the GoPro tomorrow to the underside and seeing what’s up. I found the Moog LCAs on Amazon for less than $100 each so I’ll probably just go ahead and get them and go from there.

 

+1 on the Moogs. So much better than burning out bushings and pressing new ones. Really helped my buddies S10 at 200,000 miles and was an easy maintenance.

 

How much are OEM lca?

 

I haven’t looked but I would assume double the Moog price, just like everything else.

 

Laughable

 

That is prolly what I paid. Bought mine on Amazon too.

 

275.00 or so- each us what I was quoted from 3 toyota dealers.

The Moog lca’s are just over/about 100.00 each.

 

I've been impressed with Moog products

That's awesome. A little bit more about what she did for the interview. She read the scientific publications in the drug they have been working on with gap junction and it is being studied for inflammation. She pitched to them how it should be researched for asthma as well. (Little sis has asthma)
