HD UCA's

[bruijr]

Do the pins have to be replaced often?

So far I know of two situation that somebody needed new pins. One guy because the shop who installed the UCA's mounted them upside down. That way the pins will interfere with the bearing housing resulting in bended pins. The other who needed new pins was me. I bought my HD UCA's used and the owner before me put some very heavy use on them. Right Tom.....??? I've seen them going down, then up and down again the Devil's Staircase in Sedona.

wow that seems expensive how much are the stock ones?

I think that when we did the group buy for the UCA's they were over $600. Phunkeydude was not just going up and down that staircase, he was jumping from the top like Thelma and Louise.

That's not too bad. Stock UCA's sell for almost USD $200 a piece without shipping. Check: http://www.justforjeeps.com/frupcoar.html
I don't know the price the dealer asks, but it's likely to be more than the once on the site above.

Simular kits for the Toyota Tacoma or Nissan Pathfinder sell for USD $650 and more.

Mine are still in the garage, I guess I need another wrenching party so I can get them installed.

I copied your buy/sell thread and moved the discussion over here so the ad can remain an ad only, if you want to bruijr you can link back to this thread.

Jon, my UCA's have to get powder coated. Once they're done we can install both yours and mine. Maybe a BBQ after that at my place.....

I would love to have a set of these, but I have too many other irons in the fire right now...
