    Best grease for lubing the Delta joints?? Moly or lithium based?

    Moly only per Icon.

    I haven't greased mine yet and still zero problems or noise.

    5th gen T4R, my wifes DD and the family hauler.

    There will never be a DJ for 1st gen Tacoma's. Blame Toyota for putting the BJ in the spindle not the upper arm.

    I've had no issues with them since, and it's been cold here this last month. -27C some mornings already...
    They make WAY more sense for where i live for sure.

    I have the sinking feeling that I already know the answer to this question, (I read Icon's product page and this whole thread and before asking), and I'm curious if there is a model that replaces the stock ball joints. I have Camburg UCA's and the junk Moog ball joints (same as stock) that came with it are shot after 2 years, I'm curious if there is (or will be in the future) a Delta Joint that I could use for replacement?

    Well I ordered from SDHQ and I think they've already shipped, are they that big of an improvement over the normal UCA's?

    Tell me about the press kit? I may need to replace my uniballs with the Deltas.

    What are your thoughts on theses now? What press kit did you use? Do you think a larger C-clamp would have worked?

    Looks like your missing the nut from the top of the shock. Did you take it off?

    Just went through this whole thread because i have a clunking noise. Went out to the shop and pull the bottom nut off the uni-ball holding it to the spindle. I can grab the uni-ball, hold the UCA and move it up and down. This must be my clunking noise. Cant believe these are only a year old. I do like the performance of the ICONs driving in the desert.

    So how hard is it to replace these with Delta Joints on the Tubular UCA's. Some have sent me info on a tool i need. Any other tips? Would like to replace them with the UCA's on the truck.
