Lower control arm!

Depends. I had my old ones burned out and new poly bushings installed in a few hours. If I had a press it might take an extra 5 minutes if I were doing whitelines or OEM ones.

But yeah, that's why shops generally opt for this procedure. Saves them time, and they just pass the extra cost (in parts) on to the customer.

 

Actually a full inch forward. Not only does that help with caster when the truck is raised, but it also moves the wheel away from the firewall, as opposed to the caster-correcting aftermarket UCAs that move the wheel back toward the firewall (more tubbing)

I'm using my Solo LCAs with SPC uppers, btw - good combination, IMO.

Oh yeah, I like that inch for approach angle, too. super sexy.

 

yeah, lots of cracking/tearing failures.

 

I took mine to Les Schawb and they told me my UCAs were shot. Threw it on the lift at work, checked them and they were fine. Replaced them anyways because you know...why not. But Les Schawb is pretty scummy and grubby.
