    So i picked up a new project to make into my daily driver. It needs a lot of love, which I dont mind doing. It has some aftermarket upper control arms, but they are unlabeled and they are making one hell of an ungodly squeaking noise over bumps and when turning. I assume the teflon portion is toast. Are these replaceable/rebuildable? If so, can someone possibly be able to identify these?

    Looks like total chaos without the stickers to me.

    try lubing the uniballs and see if that helps the squeak. All parts are pretty much serviceable and available from total chaos if that’s the case.

    Thank you sir, I believe you are correct. I'll try a dry lubricant before swapping the balls out. Cheers :cheers:
