Tips on Installing UCA's


Recommended Posts

Posted

Due to the stamped steel UCA, and 2 inch level going in, I'm getting ready to replace with aftermarket UCA's.   I've watched several YouTube videos and seems pretty straight forward, but curious if anyone has done this and has a write up or any tips to share?  Looks like the hardest part is getting the bolts past the spring.

When you pull the bolts out try to keep the cam washer close to the frame so it doesn't hit the spring. Also once you get the cam on the nut side off and get the other cam off the stud push the control arm back in the slot for more clearance. Worst case you have to pull the strut, but I almost never have to on the trucks.

I would probably make some match marks so you can get your cam bolts back to a similar place so that you can drive it easily to get an alignment after the swap.

What about torqueing the rear bolts? From what I understand it needs to be at ride height before they get torqued down. Is there room to do this once the wheel is on and the truck on the ground, or would you use a floor jack and press up on the lower arm to get it where it needs to be?
