    Install question Icon tubular UCA's
    This is probably an easy question to answer. I'm about to put my Icon stage 3 lift kit onto my 2013 Tacoma and had a question regarding the orientation of the bushings for the UCA's. I have 4 sets of bushings, with 4 parts to each bushing (the metal sleeve, 2 end bushings, and 1 thin bushing between the 2 end bushings). I am not sure how much that makes sense but this would be my first time installing UCA's onto a vehicle. I can get pictures if necessary.

    Do I want to leave all 3 of the urethane bushings and just press everything into the arm? The middle thin bushing looks like a spacer, but it has a different part # on it which leads me to think it belongs in the UCA.

    So my question is do I leave that thin middle bushing out or install it with the rest and just press them all in?

    Another question I had was on one UCA the grease zerks were already installed and angled towards the front (which I think is normal). On the 2nd UCA the zerks won't align the same way. I don't want to break the zerks by trying to tighten them too much. Is it safe to leave them not pointing in the same direction as long as I can get a grease gun to the ports or can I make a full turn on them to get them to line up like they are suppose to?

    Those were the only 2 things I have so far. I was going to pre-assemble the control arms so they are ready to go. I just didn't know about the zerks and the bushings.

    Thanks again for the help. So far I'm really liking the quality of the kit. Can't wait to get this onto the truck
