    I bought the Fabtech upper control arms with the Uniball years ago hoping to get rid of the squeaking in the front end. Anyways they seem worn out now and got crazy wear on my tires and a good shake at 80km's on the highway. I'm thinking of going back to stock upper control arms to save money. Is it an EZ swap back and any recommendations on cheap ones. thanks for any input

    Yes I do have a 6" lift. not sure what you mean by UCAs. I was just looking at it though and I'm thinking that my Dirt Logics need a rebuiuld and maybe that's the problem? thanks for the reply

    It would be helpful if you described your modifications in more detail. It’s not clear to me what you have done.

    Have you inspected your upper control arms and determined that they are worn out? It’s not as simple as just looking at them. Sometimes manufacturers publish inspection procedures.

    Ha i realize now you meant upper control arm when you wrote UCAs duh. Anyways I have a 2010 TRD with a 6" Fabtech lift with 35' tires on 17" rims. I put the Fabtech Uniball UCAs on a like 4 years ago hoping it would get rid of the squeak in the front end. Didn't really help with the squeak problem. So anyways my tires are really worm on the front on the inside. The tires are bowed in. Now I'm starting to thik it's my Dirt Logic 2.5 shocks (not coil over) that might just nead a rebuild. thinking of pulling off the front shocks and rear and send them to Fabtech for a rebuild or try to find someone local to rebuild them. So might not be my UCAs after all. thanks for getting back to me. Any feedbaack on this would be greatly appreciated

    Have you add the truck aligned recently? Your description makes me think your camber is way off.
