Complete list of UCA's for the 3rd Gen Tacoma

Had the alignment done today. Everything worked out well.

 

Added... although now that it occurs to me... that's probably AUD, not USD ($)

 

With the way the prices of these things are skyrocketing and constantly changing, do you all think I should just remove the price points?

 

The price is CAN, and really with price fluctuations you would be adjusting almost daily. I think this is a great source of information that really doesn't need the price. Besides, prices change from one supplier to another anyways.

Edit: yes you are right, that would be AUS.... it just happens to line up with CAN...

 

I’ve been plotting upgrading the suspension on my 2022 Tacoma. I had IVD products on my FJ, after a few other setups, and really enjoyed it. That being said, this is nearly a decade later and I’ve consulted with the local shop in Denver and they’re telling me that the IVD Billet UCA’s seize after the first 3-4 months and are no longer adjustable. Has anybody had this issue? They recommended the SPC UCA’s and claim them superior for this reason.

TIA

 

For anyone wondering, like I was, IVD = Icon Vehicle Dynamics.

Icon has certainly lost a lot of their reputation, with their latest drop in quality (leaking shocks). However, I've not heard of anyone having issues with their UCA's. In fact, I've only heard great things about their Delta Joint.

I'm not going to say they're wrong, but your shop may have alternative reasons for scaring you out of Icons and into SPC's. They are correct, the SPC's offer easier caster adjustment. The billet Icon's are still adjustable, but it takes much more effort.

 

Do you even need UCAs?

@AccuTune Offroad do you guys have your own UCA's?



Have you been holding out on us?

 

Yes, and maybe

 

Link?

 

Not released yet


**UPDATE**

 

YES! After a certain point when you lift your truck you won't be able to get the correct CAMBER. Camber and Caster go hand in hand!

Anyone have the part numbers for the mevotech SPC’s?

 

so if you want the most adjustments go with spc??

 

Yes, but thats not the only thing you should focus on. Most alignment shops wont be familiar with how to adjust those, so prepare for that, maybe call ahead to confirm.

Knowing what you know today what’s the best bang for the buck UCA? They are on the upcoming to do list after Eibach 2.0
Love the look of the 74 weld but a little more than I would want to spend. I guess around 6-700 would be where I’m at with it. Thanks for any tips

 

JBA get my vote. I had them for a while, then went with 74Weld because they look sooooo good.

@Bertw192 did the switch

 

I've got some Total Chaos UCAs I could part with as well

 

I could be interested for sure

 

Knowing what I know now, I would stay with the factory control arms and save the money for another mod. The factory lift uses factory uppers without alignment issues. At the lift the Eibach 2.0 provides, the upper control arms are just jewelry. ( I am running the lift. )
