    I’m planning on installing them this fall. If you need them lmk. All I ask is that you buy some new ones and get them to me afterwards. I know sometimes stuff like this you can’t wait on, which is why I offered mine up if you NEED some right now.

    I had some grinding noise at full extension this past Monday and then noticed this. I haven’t had any issues and seemed fine with me after I got through the trail. Never any issues the couple times in URE on the easy trails, but was never off camber or off the ground like Monday.i always popped a little grease in the fitting when I finished but pumped a little more this past time..
    Mine seemed like metal grinding and hung up, but not really sure if UCA or not?

    Wait..did you start that thread?:anonymous:

    I gave Wilson a great deal on my old TC arms, with new bushings and uniballs that he is going to swap in. Only problem is I couldn’t get the spindle bolt adapters out of the spindles, so he’ll have to wait on those, but he’ll have quality parts to match his King’s.

    That's not about them breaking.

    I haven't had any issues with them except the bushing wore out. Nuts have never moved on me except when I was changing alignment. I am going to give JBA a shot at some point.

    Just curious, how long did your bushings last? Mine, about 10k miles and they tore and squeaked. I was pissed.

    Installed UCAs Mar '13, noticed the bushing were "wollerd out" and replaced them Dec '17, no other issues to date.
