U.C.A.'s

Hey all I have spent time reading forums etc.
I could read till my eyes bleed.
Just wanting some input.
I have a 2017 dclb trd sport
I have put billi 5100's all around with 888 coils and OME full leaf packs
I feel that my alignment cannot get any better etc . just not happy with the way it feels/drives.
Im assuming that replacing my UCA's will help and allow for more adjustment.
What brand would you guys recommend ? I was considering the SPC alignment UCAs.
Quality but also wallet friendly ..
Thanks all.

 

Itll help your joint pivot more and you can get more droop and caster. I used total chaos and no issues. Just have to do routine maintenance greasing the bushings

 

I went with the Standard High Caster JBA arms. Lifetime Warranty and Ball Joints that can be swapped out in the Driveway.

just installed SPC LR uca's and made a great difference ...was in the exact position as you

 

Pretty much safe with any option, the real choice is uniball or balljoint. I myself am going with total chaos

 

I second this vote. For 99% of tacoma drivers wanting aftermarket UCAs, these are the best option. They're the least expensive, the ball joint is off a 1 ton truck IIRC and can be swapped in the driveway, and the bushings are OEM so they will last a long time with no maintenance. They'll get you all the caster you will need.

I installed my camburg UCA when I put my lift on. As @Ayeele said, just do your maitenance to them and you will have a much better set up than factory no matter what manufacturer you choose. If you plan on doing this yourself, make sure you have plenty of patience and not around people who are offended by curse words. If someone else does it for you, don't go back there again because they will now hate you.

 

I've heard it's a bear on third gens! I just cut my old bolts out with an angle grinder and put the bolts in backwards with some loctite.

 

I need UCAs but dayum... I hate to pull everything back a part and put them on, alignment ect... and it’s $500+ no mater what you get.

 

3rd vote for JBA UCA! Thinking about switching out my current 1.25" All pro UCA bc its a pain in the ass to keep clean and wipe out the old dirty grease and re-grease every month. First saw them on a friends TRD Pro 4runner I was helping install new Icon 3" lift and the color makes it pop in the wheel well.

 

You’ll feel a good difference with the SPC’s similar setup and I felt the same way then got the UCA’s.

how did the install go , I myself will be doing these in a couple months , was it fairly easy , or more difficult?

 

If the OP wants more adjustment..the only actually adjustable UCAs are the LR SPC. Really comes in handy when you find your alignment cams totally seized in a couple of years because you were too lazy to pull them apart and grease them when the truck was still new lol
