OME UCA's?

Cool! Let me know how it works, I never tried to see how well it functioned so am curious to see what you think.

 

They look really great- I had Icon UCA’s previously & they had aspects that seemed not well designed. Brake line attachment bolt ready to twist off & “dust cover” stuck on w 2 sided tape come to mind. OME seems to have done their homework and “fixed the glitch” from the images I’ve seen.

 

IDK how subjective it is, but according to this post: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/ucas-and-alignment.40470/, camber should be at 0 and caster at 2.4. I wonder if you can request that next time and see how it rides.

 

OME provides you with alignment specs to bring your truck back into factory spec. This is what mine follows.
My caster is slightly higher than what they call for to avoid rubbing.
I find this alignment to work perfectly and will maintain these numbers.
My goal when modifying any vehicle is to keep things as close to factory as possible.

 

Does anyone know if these use a proprietary balljoint or an off the shelf item? If the latter, what is the part number?

Getting ready to pull the trigger on a full OME lift and eyeballing these for my uca.

 

The ball joint part number is UCASP013

 

Thanks for sharing!

 

How much per and where did you source those from?

 

They came straight from ARB, there was a defect in one of the ball joints that shipped with my UCAs, so they sent this one out for free. Not sure what the cost would be if you wanted to buy one. They would’ve sent me new UCAs but I would’ve been waiting much longer since they were out of stock.

 

Got it. I never checked what the warranty is.
Is it 3 years?

 

True!!

 

Yeah 3 years

 

How are these? I will be installing a set this weekend

 

No first hand experience with the OME. Was going to go with them until I didn't. Will be interested to hear your first hand review.

 

I've probably put over 30k on mine and they still function perfect.
Really happy with them.

 

Also the finish still looks perfect after a winter in Colorado

 

I just installed them yesterday, now I'm experience some noises when turning. Yesterday I didn't experience any noises, it was raining. Today I went back and retorqued the uca bolt, the sway bar end link bolt and ball joint bolt. Not sure what it could be, suppose to take it in for alignment on tuesday.

 

It's probably just rubbing from the UCAS moving the tire toward the cab mount and pinch seam.
What size tire are you running?
Of course this is all assuming it's not a clunking noise or a squeal.

 

I have 6112/5160 with headstrong 2" aal. 265/70/17 on scs ray10 17x8.5 -10. I installed everything correctly.
