    @eon_blue so now I really figured out what the knocking sound was in my truck. The rocksliders banging on the pinch weld below the door. Been getting a little loose from hitting rocks lately and not being welded or fully bolted yet doesn't help. Gonna weld em this weekend.

    huh, makes sense. I was actually just reading a thread about bolt-ons hitting the pinch weld earlier this afternoon. Good call on welding them on, sounds like the best way to go

    Ha! I had that exact problem too. It was driving me nuts, so I shoved some rubber between the pinch and slider

    I'm not totally versed in aftermarket ball joint uca, do they come with a new ball joint unit and boot? Or does the original one just attach to the new upper arm?

    I think your front end is held together by all the repeated heavy impact essentially welding everything into place

    From what I read I think so. Though I do think you can go up to other trails in the area on a snowmobile

    If you're only spinning 2, you gotta go twice as fast.

    *Fixed Part Of Video Where It Froze*
    At some point after I uploaded the video I was told that the video froze after Ron walked out of the bushes, I have since re-uploaded the video so you all can view the Full Video without missing anything. Enjoy :thumbsup:
