Mevotech TTX UCA fail / CORE 4X4 Upgrade

[DILLIGAF]

Well it was a matter of time before they shat the bed

It's extremely concerning that the only lasted >15000km as they didn't even get abused. both sides are ******.

I'm no longer recommending any TTX parts for lifted trucks moving forward.

Hoping Core 4x4 will have a black Friday sale

Sucks man, especially if no offroad abuse

It might be beneficial for the inexperienced enthusiast if you talked abit in your videos to describe what you/we are looking at. I cant really see where the slop is coming from.

Did your lift come with new spindles to keep the factory geometry? If the geometry is stock, how did the factory UCA work? I'm on a bds 6" and 35s on factory ucas.

You must be new here, I beat the Ch!t out of my truck.. lol...

The black Friday sale was lame AF, a whole 50$ off

Ordered them in black , the shipping to Kentuckian was over 120$

Came out to 1159$ Kenuckistan pesos Hopefully this is the last time I have UCA issues.

Why did you choose this brand compared to others?

 

[DILLIGAF]

Because Clayton Off-Road dosent make any... lol...

Clayton and Core 4x4 are the only top tier brans out there for suspension components for our trucks when it comes to Control Arms

Ive been on the forum long enough to know the Cores 4x4 are the #1 UCA you can get for these trucks.

I have Carli uca’s that look similar to the Core, are the ball joints sealed?
I had always greased the back connections but thought I messed up not greasing the ball joint, starting squeaking after 40k, replaced recently by Quick_Shifter.
According to their website you don’t use any grease for them.
The Core’ s have an adjustable
length? I see the bolts at the rear that I don’t have on mine.
I will definitely look for your thoughts /reveiw after you install them.

TTX LCAs failed as well.

Only lasted 5y 6 months of totally normal driving

Dirt King long travel was on my list of upgrades, but will wait a couple years when I can swap my 61 International cab on this truck. No money for that right mioew.

Will grab another set of the TTX .

Those Carli's are nice UCA's. The ball joint is a uniball and is replaceable. I would use triflow on that joint specifically if squeaking.

Did you tighten the control arm bolts with weight on it? Not in the air? When I was a tech I seen it a few times. Customers bushings usually get that way if they are tightened in the air and not on the ground under weight. If tightned in the air that will be there static non twist state but with weight and they are tight already it stretches/ twists the bushings as if your suspension is drooped or bottomed out.
