    As others have said. Lithium. With that being said the stick grease that comes with them isis w superior of a grease. But if you keep up with marine you'll be just fine. Goes for all poly bushings.

    And if you're doing it right / enough, in a couple years the bushing should be stained blue ;)

    Have any of you guys notice the grease coming out of the top of the rubber boot on your JBA UCA? Is that normal?

    I love my JBAs! Paired them with Icon 2.5s and it’s a match made in heaven!

    I'd check the torque spec. If the torque spec is correct and the bushing integrity is sound then it's working fine. Just letting you know it's moving

    I'd get the powdercoated ones for protection and then just paint over it with whatever color you decide. I wish I would have done this before I installed mine.

    Gentlemen, i read about 20 pages in this form before this, I read a few contrary things.

    I’m taking the 2015 Tacoma with JBA UCAs and 2.5” Old man emu in for the alignment this week..

    What are some realistic expectations to ask for number wise on the alignment? It seems like it’s best to ask them to push the caster all the way forward and the rest just spec?


    Lastly is there a “commercial/National” chain that does decent alignment work. I went to Firestone before and left sad:(

    Thanks

    Doesn't seem to be a option for the 96-04 tacomas nor the bare metal option any more either, mayne all are heavy duty now?
