What a badass!

 

How do you guys know when UCA ball joints need replacement?

 

If the boot is torn and grease is all over it, or you have a popping noise coming from that side that you know isn't the LBJ or tie rods, etc

Or if it fails and leaves you stranded lol

 

Does it move in a way it shouldn't?

 

LOL my boot is torn and grease is all over. I'm debating just getting new upper arms. I have no popping or play though.

 

Yeah, it won't kill you to take your time and decide, as long as it's not busted. But without grease it won't stay that way for long.

 

it's probably ok for now but if the boot is torn then dirt, water, debris etc can get into the joint and it's days are numbered then

 

I used a pry bar to see if there was play and it seems good. I'll just keep greasing it.

Yeah it seems solid. I just don't want it to fail on me. Somewhere sketch like on the freeway.

 

It takes a lot for them to fail. My wife probably drove 2000 miles on hers all fucked up because she didn't want to deal with Hyundai for warranty work.

No matter how many times I harassed her.

 

If it helps win the argument I’ll send you a copy of the bill of sale for my old 5-lug that says $600 on it. ​

 

Can somebody tell me the nut size for the 2 10 mm bolts under the air intake? Thats the sounds im hearing now is the bolts rattling

 

Nah work in a primary care office

 

12mm

 

Ah mb i mean like thread size. They both werent retightened enough and fell off driving

 

If I had to guess I'd say M8x1.25

 

Pretty close, except I was actually hurt and not faking it

 

Thank you, will grab a set from home depot omw home. Didnt think they were needed but got dam this rattling haha

 

Or M6x1.0

 

It is either M6x1.0 or M8x1.25

Most of the hardware on the truck are those two sizes.

 

If you get both, they're cheap. If your truck is anything like mine, you'll have places to use the other ones.
