    Got my alignment don't yesterday and now I'm rubbing the lower inside edge of the front bumper when in reverse turning sharp. What's the deal with that?

    Trim it? Lift it more? I have heard of this happening with high caster UCAs. As it does change the way the tire sits in the wheel well slightly.

    I know the fix lol. Was confused about caster I guess. Didn't realize the tires were pushed forward, actually thought they were moved back.

    JBA provides a washer to be used in the balljoint. I'll take a picture in the morning.

    The version I have came with a nylock, not the castle nut + pin. I saw pictures of TC/ICON UCAs which use the same nylock as the JBA's but they have a washer between the spindle and nylock.

    If you're overly concerned, drill a hole in the BJ shaft, use the factory castle nut, put a pin in it. Personally I like the idea of a castle nut and pin over just a nylock.

    So i did a 2 inch lift on my 2017. The alignment show was able to get my toe and camber within spec, but the caster is driving me nuts especially on the freeway. I think my caster is like at .6 or .8.. which JBA camber arm would give me enough caster?

    Also my concern is the re-buildability.. I read like 20-30 pages and it sounds like based on the parts that Marlin uses I would be able to replace the bushings and ball joints from any automotive part store?

    does the balljoint require greasing??

    It sounds like it is a standard amount of caster which I cannot adjust. How much should I be expecting? And or is there any adjustability to these uca?

    Thanks for the help!

    I have the 5100s and 885x coils up front. About 2.5 and with toe and camber zeroed out I ended up with 3.8 and 4.1. Is that too much?
