OME UCAs

Looking through the 3rd gen forum I cant find any posts reviewing the OME UCAs, anyone have any experience?

Posted the same question but haven’t heard from anyone. I’m guessing they were just recently released and nobody has installed a set yet.

 

This article was released a few days ago, so yeah. They seem new.

I just ordered them. I've been on the fence since they came out over a month ago.

 

We put some on my buddy's 4Runner recently. They seemed well built, had a replaceable ball joint, grease zerks for the bushings. Definitely not flashy, but had a nice, durable coating on them and came with all the necessary hardware you would expect. One weird thing was the use of washers. For the ball joint you had to put two washers under the castle nut (clear in the instructions), which just felt a little weird. Also there are different thickness washers that you had to sandwich between the control arm bushings and the frame mounts, which was a pain. One side went in smoothly, the other side was a very tight fit and took some effort to get everything in. The only thing that didn't seem right was the ABS mount on the UCA seemed to be too far inboard. It ended up working out okay, but we had to do a little manipulating of that wire to get things to have the appropriate amount of slack.

Overall, they seem fine. For the money though I'd personally get SPC's.

 

I just installed the OME UCA. Super easy install. Passenger side I had done in under 30 min, driver side took longer because I did the ECGS bushing. Still had it all done in under 2 hours. No spacers or washers. Just unbolt the OEM UCA and slide the new OME in place using the original hardware.

 

do you know where these ome uca's are manufactured?
