Icon Delta Joints - 1st Gen

Here they are installed on mine:

 

thanks! looks like they do sit pretty high in the taper

 

This thread reminds me that I should prob grease mine.

 

You just mean the bushings on the sides right?

Or can a zerk be installed on the delta joint itself?

 

It comes with zerks for the joint which I think I lost.

 

Oof. Me too

 

Does anyone know if I can just remove the small nut on top of the delta joint and install a zerk fitting in its place in order to be able to grease the delta joint itself?



*Meaning the small nut circled in red*

Might I need this adapter:

If so that seems like a ridiculous money grab from Icon

 

Yeah should be able to, can get zerks at tractor supply or even Ace in the small faster section

 

Yes, that's where said lost zerks are supposed to go.

 

Thank you for clarifying

 

Thank you.

Do you think it's worth getting that needle attachment from Icon so that the dust cover cap can fit over top?

Don't currently have the dust cover cap either, so I'd have to buy that and the needle greasing attachment too

 

Personally I think the dust covers are a good idea, but I wouldn't bother with their asinine needle thing, just put a regular zerk in there, fill the joint, put the other one back as a cap.

 

Sounds like a good plan. That needle thing seems like a real obvious money grab

 

Does anyone know if the fit kit 614526 is needed with Camburgs or will the slug adapter from Camburg that’s pressed into the spindle work?

Honest opinion, are these worth it? Any comments on durability? I’m close to changing the bearings out, if these last might bite the bullet

 

I've had mine on for 4 years now and they just started to squeak. Way worth it over a traditional uniball imo especially if you deal with salt/brine/snow etc.

 

You will need the Icon parts for the spindle. It basically converts it to use the 05+ Tacoma ball joint taper that matches the Icon DJ's for the Gen1 trucks.

I have a set of "non Icon" DJ retrofits in my TC LT kit using the above adapter.

Sorry to bump the thread, but I’m curious to know how everyone’s icons are holding up? I have SPCs and I’m on my 3rd set of ball joints in 5 years and I don’t wheel hard. Want to look at other options.

 

Mine are holding up great, no problems whatsoever. That being said they've only been on the truck since May, so 5-6 months isn't really enough time to tell anything

 

Mine have been installed since 2019 with no issues. Still haven't greased those zerks.

 

I just killed two balljoints in less than 3 years. And one pair of x-axis joints.
