    Hi everyone,

    My upper control arm (left) is rubbing up against the shock absorber. Mechanic says it's due to a faulty ball joint and recommends changing the U.C.A.

    Does anyone have a recommendation on a brand or style? I don't go off-road, driving in the streets. This was my daily driver and has under 60k miles. Will not be my daily driver next month since I bought a sedan.

    More info needed. Stock suspension, or aftermarket/lift on truck currently?

    Don't off-road and just drive on the streets? Just get another OEM UCA and call it a day then.

    Sounds like you have a lift on this if it’s rubbing and you don’t go Offroad. Send it with anything else but SPC UCA’s.
