Literally the exact arms I'm running on my truck, with the last set of OEM ball joints ill ever buy

 

At least swapping bushings out of brand new LCAs should be much easier than old ones, so if you do need the actual LCA you can put oem/whiteline bushings in.

 

The guy also quoted new upper ball joints. Does this mean I need new UCAs as well?

 

100%. I’m sure those duralast arms would’ve been fine if I’d just swapped in some decent bushings. I ended up bending them with the bottle jack method when I had a perfectly fine 20 ton press in my garage. So off to scrap they went.

 

UCA are pressed into the spindle not the arm, so no

 

we've had a few angries over the years, usually don't last long. Or they get perma'd like that one older guy, the hell was his username....was always talking shit and trying to aggravate people. Some kind of racing username

 

I haven't heard much about upper ball joints and what's involved in replacing them, since everyone's always going on about the lowers.

 

oh you mean HOTBOATROD! haha

 

yeah that guy lol. He was like the Wendy's Facebook page but legit pissed off

 

Hotrod boat guy

 

Don't forget Crodell or crow too.

 

remove snapring, press joint out, press new joint in, put snap ring on. doesn't get easier

 

Can't save what you don't have

 

It's nothing new or entertaining; the only variable is the person giving him information and/or advice

He just happens to be the common denominator

 

Unlike Ryan, I hope you actually watched the movies you pull references from

 

I've never watched any of the terminator movies, but i still make Skynet jokes. sue me

 

the oversaturated comic book franchise genre is the lowest form of cinema, I said it

 

That guy was wild. Like a crazy uncle you’ve only seen 4 times at random holiday gatherings. And always eventually starts a fight and speeds off in his C4 corvette.

Or in my family’s case… an FC RX7 of all things.
