New Style Balljoint Upper Control Arms

@nairb their is about 2 degrees of caster correction. Since your truck is lifted minimally, you wont need as much compared to someone who's truck is lifter 2.5-3".

 

@motoxscott Random question, do you guys have a maintenance sheet for your older style UCA's? I'm curious if I've been missing some home care thing that has caused a lovely squeak any time I hit the smallest bump..

I originally believed it was from my sway bar links, which were shot, but after having the sway-bar links replaced in addition to the axles, the squeak persists.

Any help would be appreciated!

 

@TinyTech626 Really the only two parts that need some love are the pivot bushings at the frame and the uniball. For the uniball you can use WD-40 to clean it since it's a mild solvent and won't hurt the teflon liner. Once it evaporates after a day or two you can use Tri-flow or a "dry" teflon based chain lube. That coats the parts and drys. Keeps the stiction down and doesn't attract dirt. You don't want to use oils or greases on the uniball. If you still get some noise from the uniball after that, it might be to the point where it needs to be replaced depending on the age/mileage. For the bushings you can use a grease gun on the zerk fittings. Just make sure to loosen the long through bolt a little so the grease and air can escape. We recommend using grease specific for polyurethane. We sell it, or you can use "super-lube". You want something teflon based, waterproof and can handle high temps.

Any other questions let me/us know.

Thank you!! I’m gonna give this a shot, I could be wrong/ not awake but I didn’t see a Zerk fitting. (I’m gonna look again once I’m awake enough to put my contacts in.)

I may be sending you a pm later if this doesn’t fix it to see about ordering new ones, Thank you for the quick reply!!
