New Built Right UCA's

Will do, I'll try to get some action/flex shots of the UCA's.

 

Sweet!!!

 

Alright I think I'm sold. After coughing up the dough for some SAW 2.0s, and the Deaver Rear leaf Pack, I need some UCAs to pair with the setup. I just don't think I can scrape together the change for the TC UCAs. From what I've read, these ought to do the trick just fine. Looking forward to gettin an order in soon.

 

Cool, click on my signature for the number and contact information for The Truck Shop. Another member just ordered them today.

 

I got mine on Friday. What a beautiful piece of engineering. I'm almost hesitant to put them on the truck. Also whoever wrapped them is very serious about them not getting damaged. It must have taken me about 20mins just to get them out of the box and bubble wrap. Which is a good thing.

 

Awesome! They'll squeak like bloody hell for a couple of weeks while they break in. Use the dry teflon lube to curb it. Then you'll pretty much never hear them again. Perhaps a re-lube squirt or two after mud baths or serious washings.

 

I was planning to pick some up. I'll also keep the bushings well lubricated as well because I'll just grease them whenever I get my mower.

I think the uniball came with some lubrication on it though. I can see it and move it around with no squeak but I'll still put on some dry teflon.

 

Jason, there were some that were damaged in shipping in the past..Damn FedEx and USPS. So I made sure that was not going to happen again so I got some bubble wrap and James made sure they would take shipping damage from the drivers. Can't wait to see them on the truck.

Went out to the desert yesterday and the Built Right held up well. More articulation on the rocks than if I had my stock UCAs.

 

Yeah I heard about the shipping problems and I think that's great of the company to address and fix them. That's why I was complimenting the wrapping.

I saw your pics and was trying to figure out if you were running a sway bar or not. That flex looks really good.

 

I am running a sway bar.

 

These still available or out of stock? I need new arms!

 

These are still available. Just contact the shop. The first page the the info. Make sure you mention my name "Tree" so he can give you the price.

 

Speaking of mud bath. We went out Saturday, and it started to rain. There was some fun in the mud going on. The UCA's are caked in it, so yeah one of them is squeeking like there is a cat stuck in the suspension. I'll hose them down after work today, and lube them up. They worked great though, while I was out there. Sorry Tri, no pics to prove it. Our group went home early, before we started on the fun stuff.
Only thing is now, I have 2 CV's leaking diff fluid, at the diff. Maybe too much articulation in the front now. It's weird that both of them are leaking, one of them is new.

 

thanks, highly considering these

 

I haven't been too lucky with these Built Right as far as getting them installed.

1st. - The incorrect UCA were sent to me. I received the 1st gen. instead of
the 2nd gen. No problem, SDTruck Shop called me, and sent me the correct ones within five business days along with postage for the return of the incorrect ones. Props to them.


2nd - Today (few months later), I finally get around to begin my installation, luckily I didn't take my stock UCA apart. Come to prepping my Built Rights, find out that one of the bottom 3/4" Misalignment spacer is out of tolerance and the tapered sleeve doesn't fit. Sent an email to The Truck Shop, awaiting a response. Hopefully they can continue their great service and get me a replacement asap.

I can't give an honest opinion of them yet, since they haven't been installed yet. But, as far as the mishaps, I wish I went with TC or Camburg. Who knows, may have been just my bad luck, and that once everything gets squared away, I will be happy with my Built Rights.

 

Sorry to hear about that. They will make it right. Call them Monday, much quicker than email.

 

I thought the tapered part was supposed to go into the spindle?

Mine was really tight but nothing a hammer didn't take care of. Just make sure you use some wood so you don't damage it.

 

Yeah the tapered part will go in the spindle and will be a tight fit but should seat itself as you tighten the bolt

 

That's probably a gentler way to do it.


It's supposed to be tight. You don't want any play there.
