Topic: UCA, Spacer and Shackle mod day - welcome to help, welcome to learn

[GreenAcres]

I've got new SPC UCAs, and PRG spacers and shackle to install. I had helped with one mod day so have some idea of what's required (cutting bolt, grinding coil bucket, big hammer to the ball joint). But, I have yet to do the whole job myself. I PM'd KnightRider to double check for any tips on the UCA install and he suggested I start a thread to see if a) anyone who's done this might want to come by and help me make sure I don't stuff it up and b) offer the opportunity for anyone else who wants to get experience with these mods to help out and learn.

So there it is. I'm planning to do this on the 22nd (Sat). I live in Irvine. If you are interested to come by and help, or learn, PM me for the address. Thanks!

I installed my SPC UCA about 2 months ago. Didn't take too long, I think no more than 3 hours. A suggestion if you haven't thought about this yet...make sure to lubricate the bushings. But I didn't use just any lubricant, I used some specifically made for polyurethane. I purchased it from Four Wheel Parts warehouse. Haven't heard a squeak.

Do you recall the lube?
Cause mine squeaks so Ima take my apart to paint and might as well relive it up and have it working better.

You need us to. Ring any tools? Jacks or stands?

I have everything except an angle grinder. If you have one of those it'll save me from having to buy one.
