    Anyone else having any issues getting SPC to even contact you back about warranty. I filled out the contact form and called them multiple times and I’m getting nothing. Pretty much just feels like they don’t want to deal with warranty work.

    I got quite a bit of play/popping on the xaxis bushings. They’ve only been on the truck for about 8000 miles.

    I also have play in the ball joint and was told by a mechanic that they need replaced... after only 1 year.

    Ya! Hopefully it's a fluke (and hopefully I can get SPC to warranty them).

    I needed to replace the lower bearing on my front King shocks and in the process of removing the shock my SPC’s completely fell apart. I was standing right there with my mechanic and the UCA fell off. I was at Shaffer’s Off Road in Alameda CA and Mike just looked at me and said I happen to have ICON UCA’s and I switched. SPC honored the warranty but the shop initiated it, took forever. But I sold them. I was leaving for Death Valley 2 weeks later and I shudder thinking about blowing down Race Track Road and having my UCA fall apart.

    I don’t think they are a good design when the ball just falls out. D091AA93-8C88-49EB-9AD0-477F77F32AFE.jpg7623A381-AE45-4D1D-811D-3D6E112437F6.jpg6159515C-F90A-4429-80C1-53804CE8DD51.jpg52513D0F-D852-46C7-839D-A79F69AE4491.jpg
