Stay away from Ebay UCA

This, kind of hard to figure anything out just from two phrases, "hitting coils" and "wont align" with no pictures or alignment printout.

 

we had no caster at all

 

sorry for the shitty photo, but there looks like more clearance between my spring and the UCA than in your photo OP. I’d say they’re too short.



Buy once cry once.

 

Who did the alignment

 

Well when the icons come in you can do a comparison and let us know what the difference in them is. Unfortunately I think you're the first guinea pig for straight up eBay Chinese UCAs lol

 

^ This, if the guy has no experience with these types of alignments of course he's gonna 'get worked up' and say he can't do it.

 

when the Icon U C A come in i will give you an update on the difference.

 

Seems pretty close @doorsidedown

 

I THINk YOU are RIGHT!!

 

This x100000000

 

Yeup, my alignment shop guy came up to me apologizing because he tried multiple ways but couldn't get the caster right, I apologized and said that's actually okay with the setup I had lol

 

dont know what to say... that is impossible to have no caster and to bash a product without providing printouts or know this alignment techs ability is hard to say

a good tech wont just look at a screen and move wrenches to put a computer screen in the green. With all that has been provided here, its very similar to saying these 33"s fucking suck because they rub all over the place without seeing the whole picture of the setup, the offset of wheels, what was cut, etc....

 

Buy once, cry once. You get what you pay for. That sucks.

 

I did but Everyone Beware of
blitz.auto on ebay

 

These are the only ones I could find on eBay but they're for first gen, any chance that's where the confusion happened? @splat5666 can you double check your order history to make sure you ordered the correct year UCAs

 

I just mean the rear of the UCA he bought looks shorter than the total chaos UCA, not by much - but it would bring the whole thing closer to his coil spring. Hard to tell exactly, but just what I can tell from photos....

That being said, I do agree with the folks who’ve said you absolutely need an alignment tech who knows what they’re doing. A “factory” alignment no longer applies...

 

there is a huge gap of missing information here and we are all just filling in the blanks from 3 photos

 

Like putting together a 100 piece jigsaw puzzle but you're only allowed to see three pieces

 

Wow, why would you buy this? Cheap Chinese steel, not even correctly engineered, most likely will bend or break destroying your $40K dollar truck. This is just dumb to go cheap for such an important component of the front suspension. Just throw them away and write it off as a learning experience.

 

The poll on top of the thread should also have an option for:
Spent $45k on a truck, tried to save $200 on junk UCAs
