    Just see if the boots are ripped? If they are see if there is any grease left in them. If there isn't slap some in there, call up SPC and have them send you some new ones free. Thats the only thing I can think of being wrong with them if that is the issue, other then that the LR UCA's are very reliable. What kind of noise is it making? It could be something else

    That could be from being over torqued or being compressed with the truck being on the ground. Did ya jack up the truck to where the suspension was not compressed but sagging. You can bet a better look at the boots that way, and if they are "deflated" look for any holes or cuts that may have let the grease out, or see if there are any grease stains around them.

    ah cool $40 and it's yours

    I blame any shop that does an alignment, could never get one to stay on the taco at all, the last one at NTB lasted about a month and the shit started drifting again, never went to the dealer but that would have been my last option
