    Hey guys I'm new to TW. I just finished my toytec install last week (first time)and was just wondering if the angle of my UCA will damage any of my suspension components. I'm planning on getting new LR UCA's in the next month or so. Thanks in advance.

    It doesn't look great, but you should be fine if you're going to be changing it in the next month or so.

    Thanks for the quick response guys. I can hardly wait for those UCA's so I can put some bigger wheels on my taco.

    OP what is the measurement from the right end of your UCA to where the ball joint connects to the spindle? Just curious because I was wondering the same about my UCA's position.
    Also to everyone else, do heim joints give you noticeable difference in travel and ride quality?
