Thanks for the excellent instruction for replacing the UCA. I purchased Mammoth replacements and the instructions didn’t say anything about the spacers. This video cleared that up for me when the employees at the store that I bought them from couldn’t.
I had the same set installed at a local shop and it looks like they tightened them while the truck was in the air because they're angled down and the truck rides very rough. Would this cause the rough ride?
When the shop installed them was that the only thing done? If they tightened it with the suspension full droop it will cause the rubber bushings to wear out much faster. If they didn’t tighten them with the proper torque specs they may be binding up. Either bring it back and have them do it right or get a torque wrench and loosen them up and retorque them the correct way. Let me know how you make out brother.
@@MrV2u I had the ReadyLift kit installed a few years ago, and never had issues. I took the truck in to the shop to have a new set of shocks installed and I noticed that the UCAs "looked" different ever since. And it rides extremely rough. Then I saw your video, now I'm thinking this is the problem. Can I loosen/tighten them while it's on the ground or do I have to jack it up to loosen, lower, then tighten? Thanks for your help man.
Rear shocks? Front struts? If they put in the wrong size or part number it could make the control arms droop. You can loosen it up in the drive way no lift needed it will settle down
@@MrV2u I had front struts and rear shocks installed (Bilstein 5100's all around). I'm sure on the part numbers, I double checked. I'm gonna try loosening them up tomorrow. What was the torque spec again? Thanks.
A lot of rocket science going on in this job
That’s a good job right there
I’m not only a mechanic but I’m also a AStronaut. Thanks brother

@@miked9940 good deal brother. Thanks for the feedback my friend. Glad to help.
Thanks for sharing brother God bless you
Your very welcome my brother. May He keep us in His loving arms.
Do you have a video changing lower ball joints ?!
Not yet brother, all my joints are solid. Stay tuned for when I lift it and swap out a lot of front end parts.
I would of just sprayed WD on that squeak 😅
😂 now why didn’t I think of that. If it was only that easy, you know I had to make it hard for the video. 🤣
@@MrV2u 😊
Lol

Maybe they had the struts set up on the high setting brother. Check the description for the torque specs. Let me know how you made out.
