Your supposed to set the vehicle down so that the suspension is at its resting position before tightnenting the UCA bolt down. Other then that good video .
@@brianwilson1145 dude it feels great. The truck would float so bad with the lift. The control arms make it ride so smooth. I could get it up to 100 and the truck just cruises
wow that has to be the softest hits on the knuckle ever to pop the ball joint free, Those nails are so clean what is the secret. I just installed my passanger side Freedom off road UCA and it was not that easy you go girl you did great
I thought you were supposed to allow the weight of the vehicle to settle either using a jack or lift with wheels off THEN torque the nut on the UCA??? That'll cause premature bushing failure......
I won't be buying the product (SPCs for me), but the production skills in this video are excellent, just excellent! This video gives me confidence in the job, not only because a woman one third my age is doing the work, but she is showing me all the things to expect and to overcome. Well done, I realize this is not just your presentation, but a whole crew is involved in its production. I can only say I wish more RU-vid videos were this good. No music, no unnecessary BS, just the necessary instructions. Well done to the team!
Are these adjustable? I installed these on my 2009 Tacoma, and new lower control arms, an arb bumper, 3” spacers on the struts. Wheels won’t align, even when the camber bolts turn the lower control arms all the way out, the tires still “V” in towards the center.
With a jack under the lower control arm try to get the upper control arm to the height it will be when the wheels would be on the road. This prevents the bushings from tearing in half and destroying your brand new control arms
So what kind of ball joints do these freedom uca’s come with? Can you press a moog ball joint in to replace the ball joints they came with when they go bad or what. These are things myself and other people might want to know in a video like this.
I replaced the upper ball joint in these arms and it supposedly only accepts their replacement BJ (haven't spent any time comparing to other upper ball joints). And the repair calls for the "import ball joint" press kit.
I’ve seen the UBJ on these break with low miles. That’ll leave you stranded, possibly severely injured depending on when it occurs. Don’t try and save $200 on a part this crucial…
One question I know this video it’s one year ago but it my car it’s lifted already 3” can i still use this to have a better alignment on my wheels or it will be more high?
I’ve been looking for new upper control arms to fix a rubbing issue with my stock uca so just double checking do these have more clearance than the stock ones?
These *will* have more clearance compared to your stock upper control arms, and will help maintain proper suspension geometry and alignment specs after lifting 2-4" of lift. -Zach
