Freedom Offroad UCA

following

 

Looks like these UCA's and replacement parts are made by a company called Hardrace. Looks like they make a lot of steering and suspension parts for race cars and have a racing team.

If you happen to have any free time take it to a parts store and compare it to a few different ones there. Possibly might find a match

 

Within the last couple days I've started to hear a clunking sound when I go over bumps. I think the sound is coming from the front driver side. I'm not sure if its coming from the UCA though. I'm going to take my truck to a mechanic and I'll let you guys know what happens.

 

You ever get the ball joints replaced?

 

What coilovers do you have ? Sometimes the lower union ball dies and needs to he replaced.

 

Haven’t changed them yet. Honestly there’s nothing wrong with the ones in there yet.

 

My coil overs are Freedom Off Road also.

 

20% on ebay, buy them today for a sick deal!

 

Are these holding up well for everyone now that a few people have had them for long enough to test them?

 

I’ve been using them for about 3 years now. Bushings are still fine and ball joints are still tight. And I use my truck too. I put these control arms through a workout on a regular basis.

 

Thanks just wanted input from someone who has them

 

I have been running them for a few months and so far so good, alignment is good and they are holding up great. I say for the $ you cant beat them

 

I am debating between these and the JBA’s. I want the JBA’s but I am not a fan of having red UCA’s. For the people that have installed these, are you able to get 3+ degrees of caster?

 

Anyone run them on drop bracket kits?

 

No because a drop bracket kit usually allows use of factory ucas

 

Yes but they are still recommended to help with alignment issues.

 

I run 2.5 degrees of caster with them. Not sure if you can go to 3 because I’ve always had my shop set me at 2.5. Hope this helps.

 

I am a little scared of all the adjusting and tuning required for SPCs. I have no idea what the hell I would be doing.

 

Don't the SPC's tend to fail a lot? At least in the past? I am too afraid to touch them.
