    I got the alignment done but the printer at the shop wasn't working so I didn't get a printout of the numbers. I didn't think about just taking a picture of it. The truck rides great and I don't have any rubbing. Should be able to go back to the shop and they will put it back on the rack and get a print out next week. We will see...

    Just purchased these UCA's for my 02 Tacoma. Talked to Marlin on the phone, really good dude, and was more then willing to answer all my question. I feel like a kid on Christmas eve waiting for these to show up.

    Anyone had clearance issues using the JBA stock replacement arms with 16" TRD off road rims and 265/75-16 tires? There is not much space as it is on mine between the stock UCAs and that size tire and wondering if using the JBA stock replacement (low caster) arms might possibly rub.

    Question about the install. I know to remove the old ball joint from the spindle you need a ball joint press, but do you need to use the press to seat the new ball joint bushing in the spindle, or are they only held in by circle clip?

    You can use a ball joint press by the best way to pop a ball joint out is to loosen the nut, then give the spindle a couple good hits with a 3lb or more sledge hammer. It’ll pop right out. The tapered stud will seat itself into the spindle when you tighten the new nut down. I didn’t have that circle clip you have there, not sure what that is.

    Watch this link, really good info. The hard part of installing UCA’s is the through bolts.

    Mine didnt have that black bushing there either? The bolt that comes off the moog joint through the spindle only has a few threads showing once I tightened it down...not sure how that would work with an even larger bushing then the metal one I have on there
