    So, I'm sure I didn't tighten it down enough after adding in some grease...but I lost one cap off my upper control arm... Online search nothing... called ARB, and they don't sell just the caps (I have UCA0005)- Anyone know where I can get a replacement, or generic one that would fit OME? any help is appreciated!

    thanks -

    Oh wow. Didnt know that was a thing. Is it metal or plastic? Maybe it can be 3d printed?

    it's a nice metal one, with an emu etched in it... I'm afraid I'll have to get some generic rubber one or whatever... but 3d printing is an interesting idea. I need to get size specs.

    When you grease these, how many pumps do you give it from your grease gun? How often do you grease these? I'm shocked at how little info OME has for maintenance on these.

    I was able to get some ordered last October. Contacted ARB, while they don't sell them, others do.

    I had to order by phone with Offroad Warehouse as this isn't a product listed on their website.

    very little information from ARB on this.... here is what i got when i reached out:

    "I personally use one pump every other oil change. If there is resistance when pumping, you should stop as this can enlarge the fitting causing the cap to not properly fit and a new assembly would need to be purchased. There is no grease escape area.

    I hope this information helps.

    Best Regards
