    SPC Ucas for sale, about 20k miles on them. The arms themselves are good but they do need new ball joints and bushings.
    $300 OBO, make me an offer, just want them out of the way. Located in SE Indiana.

    I’m willing on buyer’s dime, just need to weigh them and find out what it would cost.

    They would probably fit in the large top load Flat Rate box, depending on dimensions.

    Also, assuming you are the original owner? When where these purchased new? Just trying to track down what exactly I would need to rebuild them. Seems the bushings went through a design change several years ago

    I bought them new, yes. I’d say I’ve had them about two years.

    If you bought them new, as the original owner you can get ball joints and inner joints (which they end up sending the whole arm as they are pressed in) for free via the limited lifetime warranty.

    I’m well aware. I’ve warrantied one set of ball joints through them already. I could have gotten the warranty but they were refusing to do it based off a technical detail where they needed more proof than a literal purchase receipt for the arms and documentation showing previous warranty claim in order to honor it. I got tired of the bs and needed to be able to drive my truck and bought a different set of arms and swapped them out.

    This is the second pair of used SPCs I looked at today where the owner said they have 15-20k miles and they need new ball joints. In your case it looks like you went through two ball joints in just 20k miles. Is this just from heavy off-roading or is it something with these SPC UCA's that they just need more maintenance?

    Or is it that ball joints suck for offroading and uniball UCA's are much more durable?

    It just seems like the ball joints are wearing out exceptionally fast on these SPC's

    I literally road drove it for 20k miles and went through two sets of ball joints and a set of bushings. Switched to uniballs.
