Storing oem uca

Found a deal on oem suspension for a 5th gen 4runner. Shocks, coils, uca, rear upper and lower control arms, and a long straight thing looks like a panhard maybe. Anyway if I plan on storing them for use as replacement parts as needed anything special I need to do to them?

 

No.Simply keep them clean and dry from what I'm seeing.

 

Great score!

 

this, make sure the joints/bushings stay greased up and don't let them dry out and store in a cool dry place away from direct sunlight.

 

Stock UCA bushings are rubber and don’t take grease, but some kind of rubber lubricant (no pun intended) may extend their life.

 

You could pickle them in nitrogen. Or vacuum bag them. Neither is free though. I’d just keep them in a cool, dark, dry, environment. A basement, or a closet.

 

I'd be tempted to apply ACF-50 and wrap them in brown kraft paper.

 

I have OEM UPA's and LCA's sitting in their original box, inside an empty room for last 6 months. As long as you don't plan on washing them and making them shiny they are fine.
