SPC UCA failures

Hey,
That mechanic sounds like a lazy unorganized hack, he can’t remember anything lol I wouldn’t take my 4R there no more personally, I kind of a red flag imo.

But, if you’re like me and can’t afford the money and time to completely replace relatively new UCA’s;
You need to replace your SPC greasable zerk balljoints with the newly released SPC Sealed Balljoint replacement kit 25002.
No more periodic greasing, and so far, no problems. I’m part of a number of truck forums, not one case of failure (but plenty of SPC haters who aren’t actually aware there’s redesigned joints. I got 3 years out of my original joints, I was lucky, I didn’t speak to SPC at all.
If you have clunking it’s likely your UCA Axis bushings. They have a new stock replacement kit for these too that I’m purchasing for clunking.

Goodluck sir

 

Got rid of the SPC and went with Apache. No proprietary ball joint. If it ever fails I can get a Moog problem solver ball joint easy. Very heavy duty.
