    I need to rebuild my bushings on my UCA and I dont remember which ones these are. I have a 08 dc. Lift is a OME 886 kit.

    Any help would be great, otherwise I need to buy new UCA. (Don't really want to do) I think they might be Camburgs.

    Because of the rust or those springs are prone to cracking?

    The truck was undercoated when Toyota did the recall thing a couple years ago. This is just the paint flaking off. Springs seem to be fine.

    Does anyone think these camburgs are the 1.25 or the 1.0? Can I measure to know for sure? I am getting ready to purchase the rebuild kit, so I want to make sure I buy the right thing.

    Does this picture help? I know these are older UCA's . Not sure if I'm wasting time in spending $340 in a rebuild kit when I could buy new uca when I could buy new jeans STD high casters for 450. Also I got to make sure I buy the right rebuild kit! If they are worth rebuilding

    Take a pic of the boot, where the UCA bolts into the spindle. That may help a bit.

    It's going to be hard to know for sure what they are without any branding.

    Looks like Camburg ball joint UCA.

    The other popular ball joint UCAs of this design are Dirt King (different gusset design) and Freedom OffRoad (different ABS wire holder design).

    Ok, so the million dollar question is: worth trying to rebuild, buy the JBA high caster STD units and replace these altogether?

    Thoughts?

    Just clean them up and rebuild. If they are camburg they just take a cheap OEM spec MOOG ball joint.

    I’m pretty sure like others, they are camburgs given the gusset style, use of a ball joint and powdercoat color.

    they definitely are not freedom offroad or dirt king.

    Excellent, again, I appreciate everyone's input. Ill get the bushing rebuild kit from camburg and the moog ball joint replacement. Should be good to go after that! Thanks everyone!
