Upper Control Arm Comparison - @SPCAlignment / @iconvehicledynamicstv / Uniball

Although the factory UCA works well for a factory setting, adding lift and adding larger wheel and tires put additional stress on these components. Excessive lift can also change your suspension geometry beyond the factory UCA, and can affect everything from steering, travel, ride quality, excessive wear on joints and tires. In order to correct all of this and put your alignment back into a factory spec, an upgraded UCA is needed.

You guys have great videos. Can’t wait to order from you guys

Huge help in my decision to get the Icons vs Total Chaos

[brandenvuong]

Super informative! helped me get an idea about the use of UCA's.

[BrentonWestrich]

Great video. Aside from the life heigth that requires replacement of the UCA, no one seems to address the age of the vehicle. At some point bushings & ball joints wear out and replacing bushings can be time consuming. Whats the general rule that leads you to replace the UCA when the vehicle / OEM reaches a certain age? Even with a minimal 2" lift?

Hey My Man, how does the Bilstein B8 UCA fit in this comparison?! Cool Vid!!

[kcsrr]

I am concerned about not being able to grease the zerk joints (‘20 Silverado rwd). I would rather do it myself. So, recommendation
On UCA. Also, same concern w/ LCA. Any recommendation for that as well? Thank you.

I have a 3" BDS leveling kit for my 2020 Tundra. I do plan eventually to upgrade my entire suspension, and I've been working with Matt. Until in able to upgrade, do I need to upgrade my UCA now?

Hey there! Not sure if you have been asked this. If so I’m sorry…. I have a 2022 trail boss and going to install bilstein 5100 adjustable and set them at the 1.5” lift for a level stance. Would you recommend swapping out the UCA’s? Thanks!!

[suetaylor]

how come there is not a video like this on the LCA's?

[sublimeskullNe]

8:34... dude for sure runs a Facebook page. 😅😂

[dillonencinia]

So if all I’ve done was Level out the front of my 2021 F150 with Bilstein 6112, is the a reason to buy a new UCA?

[flightmedic]

I need to move my tire slightly outward on a 4” lift but this is due to a slight frame damage. Would this help move it outward from the top ?

[michaelfrymus]

Im looking for a non-rubber bushing, so either the urathane or possible a heim mount...
And even though I want a uni ball, I should get a ball joint because I live in Canada and winters are rough and heard that they can get ruined. So, I need a ball joint or a delt
Wondering how the Icon compares to the JBA HD High Caster Upper Control Arm... and which would perform better in the winters

[simpletacoma]

Can you install upper control arms with stock suspension?

[davidrabago]

I would like to install bilstien 5100's on my 2017 ram 4x4, should I replace the upper control arms?

[alialmosawi]

Hi,
I will install Nismo lift kit 2 inch in my Xterra.
Do I need to replace the UCA?
Is the Icon UCA fit without problem?

[ceeIoc]

Do I need them to help fit 285’s on a Tacoma with 2.5 inch lift?

[tyagomercado]

What be best for a 6inch lift on my Tacoma SPC or delta

[ceeIoc]

I have a 2 inch lift and after the alingment I have 1 degree of caster. Is this enough ?

[beardumaw]

600 $ very budget friendly ! lol, i think not !
