Problem installing JBA UCAs… help please!

Hi guys,
I’m switching out my Ironman UCAs for a set of new JBAs. The spindle stud on the ball joint looks too short to go thru my spindle opening. Does this look right to you?

 

No, that thing on the bottom wasn't on mine.
I have the high caster ones for 3rd gen Tacoma.



I would double check the markings on yours to make sure you got the right pair.

 

Mine are stamped 7.0 hcds by the way.

 

Says “10.00 HCPS” marking for the high caster passenger side.
Its real cool to have the truck up on jacks and all torn apart the realize they sent the wrong bushings on the UCAs. Guess I’ll be taking the wife’s car to work this week.

 

Give JBA a call tommorow to do a check on things, I suspect you might have either gotten a UCA intended for a different vehicle or a tool used for seating the ball joint was accidentally left attached. They're super responsive so I'd give them a call early in the day.

 

Does the other one look the same?

 

yes

 

A quick search of jba's site suggests the 10.0. series are primarily for first Gen Tacoma and similar year 4Runner, I'd suggest contracting them to confirm tommorow though.

 

It’s the wrong parts. AND…

it’s my own dang fault!

I ordered the wrong ones! Thanks for the help guys! Sometimes I just need everyone else to point out what an idiot I am!

 

That sucks. Hopefully it's only the ball joint that's different
