    I will say SPC has been good to me. All I had to do was pay 200 per arm, refunded when bad arms were sent back. They took care of shipping both ways.

    I just hope these last. The BJ boots appear to be a better design and quality.

    Wow, dunno what version I had on the 05 but left them on when trading in for the 08. I will consider this another successful problem avoidance with the swap. Good luck with this............

    Didn't you use some rubber eating grease ?

    At least that's how it sounded in the NJ Tacos thread .

    Just curious if you left the upper bolt lose, then torqued it after there was weight on the wheel?

    I've tried getting some good pics of the tears in mine, but they always turn out crappy, and you can't really see anything. They look like the start of what happened to Max's UCA's. Hopefully they can hold out till the Spring for the new ones.
