Icon Stage 5 Uniball concern

Hello there!

I'll just start by saying I am absolutely 100% impressed with this stage 5 kit, best riding kit I've owned. And I've owned many others (king,Fox, Walker Evans, Bilstein, and OME) Either way. Thanks

My concern is with the Uniball play. While getting my alignment done, the tech realized that the Uniballs had play in them. Upon further investigation, we found that the UCA main bolt had come slightly loose for whatever reason, so we tightened it up. There was little to no play after that but. I'm concerned that this may allow for extra wear and tear What is your opinion of this? Is it common?

Those UCA are amazing! Just check bolt each time you align them. Those bolt are there in order for you to adjust them to factory spec not unlike the tubular one.

 

Thanks for input! We did in fact check the Uniball nut and it was tight as ever.

 

When installed did you use red lock on the uniball top bolt? That would have kept it from loosening up one iota.....If you had an someone else do the install they most likely did not add the red thread lock and torque to spec.

Same thing on the UCA though bolt except blue thread lock and you will likely not have any issues.

 

Psshhh. I work on my own rig, haha and yessir I put thread locker

 

You got a build thread?

 

I don't I'm such a horrible person!

 

Lol, wouldn't go that far!
