    Not yet, someone is giving me barely used OEM ones off a 2013, figured I'd replace since my upper ball joints are stock. What's wrong with light racing ones? Was gonna get those or built rights, but I thought uniballs wouldn't be a good idea

    I'll post pictures of the bearings when I get home, I define stock driving as highways, streets, and a few dirt roads (I haven't been able to off-road since I put on these UCAs). Mileage since the new UCAs + bearings is about 11K (a year's mileage).

    In regards to the torque, I work for a Power and Hand Tools company, so everything was hand tightened with the trusty torque wrench and lubricated properly.

    nothing to be concerned about. only a couple cases of that happening, and it's also happened on other makes of UCA. UCAs in general, uniball, ball joint, etc, all seem to be a high wear/breakage item on these trucks.

    people with catastrofic failures are really beating on their equipment, so it's nothing unexpected. i'd rather break a UCA, than tear the frame open.

    My flywheel is exposed from the front, it's a 2012... Is there suppose to be a plate or some sort of cover?

    I'd like to know if there is suppose to be one or if that is stock. I don't see any signs that it had a cover and it was ripped off so I'm at a loss here
