Aftermarket Upper Control Arms (UCAs) - Filthy Motorsports

[@86Chevymontecarlo]

No music. No goofy opening. No one with a camera close up on their faces yelling at us. Simply to the point with useful information. I wish everyone else would do this...

[@Filthymotorsports]

We are so glad to hear that, thank you for the feedback!

[@samblevins1708]

Every time you do a video I learn more. Once again, clear, utter lack of nomenclature and incredibly informative. thank you for making these. I love learning this stuff and you present really well.

[@Filthymotorsports]

Thanks for the feedback, I'm so glad to hear it!

Thank you, much appreciated!

[@Amaterasu0123]

I wish I could like these videos more than once. Honestly, the best videos on the internet I've found for understanding the equipment I want to put on my Taco. I'll definitely be by the shop whenever I'm in Boulder.

[@Filthymotorsports]

I'm so glad to hear it, thank you!

[@tartamuditis]

I hope people realize the value of your videos Ben! I tell everyone that asks me about my suspension setup to buy from filthy motorsports. I wish i knew about your page before i ordered my setup with another company. God bless you and your peers !

[@Filthymotorsports]

I'm so happy to hear that, thank you!

[@Gyppor]

Thumbs up again for the re-upload. Very informative and interesting even for someone who doesn't have a truck that uses UCAs. The section about ball joints is quite interesting!

[@Filthymotorsports]

Thanks! So glad to hear it!

[@73chevy22]

Great video breaking the differences down. To me it seems you are being very impartial and that kind of straightforward breakdown is very much appreciated when trying to make product decisions. Definitely subscribing for hopefully more good content like this.

This is the best explanation of upper control arms! I was an idiot before and now I am an educated consumer. Brilliant

[@bikesanddarts]

Wow! I'm getting a lift done and replacing my UCAs. Very informative vid and now you provided such great information that I at least know how to shop for parts better and to be able to find a shop that is knowledgable on how to align my truck with the new UCAs.

[@vangeloalmazan4799]

I was debating with SPC or Camburg for my 2016 4Runner. I’m lifting mine to 2.5” and 1.5” spacer. I guess I might just go SPC it’s cheaper and for its purpose. My 4R is my daily and never Offroad it yet. No plan so far.

[@greym6436]

🙏🏽Thank you Ben for doing this subject on Ball joints. I typically stick OEM on 1stgen Tundra 4wd AC. I am looking too get a new set of UC's & I want the best design along with a very durable Balljoint system.

Great videos Ben. Thank you for sharing your attention to detail and providing the visuals with your cut aways. One suggestion though, and it’s only because you asked. Please, please try to drop the power-block cadence. Yours isn’t horribly bad but it would be such a huge improvement to your presentation. Everything else is so on point.

[@JesusWSalazar]

@Filthy Motorsports 3 Questions caused by your great/extremely educational video; Scenario: Have a 2017 Tacoma OR DCLB. Have an OME BP-51 kit (front and rears) preparing to install soon and am staying as close to no lift as possible for now (maybe go up 3/4-1"). I'm not increasing tire size (265/70/16) yet, may one day go to 265/75/16. Prepping truck for comfortable daily driving (bad back) and weekend getaways with a slide in four wheel pop up camper (arrives in June). Also doing air bags in rear to balance camper load as needed. I'm not blazing off road but I do hit old dirt and rock roads for camping and at a good pace. I'm looking for quality/reliability/ease of service and most importantly, dialed in alignment. So here's my dilemma's/3 questions: #1- I was going to go w/OME's uca's but now I'm not sure if I should consider the SPC's or the Icon Delta uca's. What are your thoughts between the 3 uca's given my scenario? #2-Since I'm more daily driver than weekend warrior and have air bags, I'm beginning to lean towards Icon RXT leafs instead of the OME's, because RXT's appear to be more progressive. Suggestion? #3-Front bump stops. For progressive reasons and lower height I'm leaning towards Wheelers Off Road stops instead of Timbren. Suggestion?

[@henrikm4657]

Super educational! Thanks for taking the time to do all the cutting, etc.

How do you feel about JBA Upper Control Arms ? I want SPC but I worry about people not knowing how to work on them and the expense....JBA is $150 cheaper. I only have a 3" lift with 32" tires and do light to moderate off roading. No extreme crazy stuff. I trust your opinion a ton after this break down. Thanks

[@Filthymotorsports]

JBA makes very good upper control arms!

[@rickm4295]

@@Filthymotorsports Thank you , I went ahead and got them. People in my area dont understand SPC UCA's it seems.

[@damacknificent151]

So I was on Amazon trying to buy uca ball joint and lower ball joints for my 4runner, but moog problem solver was getting bad reviews, like they fail prematurely or what not. Even some KZbin vid out there. So I opted for OEM for that reason. But those SPC uca look real nice.

[@mikeryan2388]

Now it makes sense why some auto shops won’t work on individual suspension pieces on lifted vehicles. I bought and personally installed those $40 upper control arms ($40 for the pair!) on my 07 4Runner Sport with about a 2.5 inch spacer lift. The handling improved quite a bit at least in reducing some steering wander, but a thousand or two miles later and the steering is loose feeling again. It’s like the feeling of crossing another boats’ wake when it’s nearly parallel so it has kind of a roll sensation that may take some extra work to climb out from the low point between wake crests. The UPA I pulled out prior were nearly the same as the replacement, but typically/approximately how much lift can those cheapies handle or were you saying that lifting results in zero changes to the actual travel of the arms? Thanks for the great videos

[@Filthymotorsports]

Thank you for sharing! On a 4runner, an OEM style UCA is typically good for about 1.5" of lift. Aftermarket UCAs will work up to 3" of lift, although we don't recommend more than 2.5"

[@Cloud9Outdoorz]

You just saved me a bunch of money and time by not going with the icon uniball uca...I ain’t. Got no time and money to be swapping the uniball every 3 oil changes! Spc it is even though I don’t like the way they look...

[@Filthymotorsports]

Thanks for the feedback! And I agreed, the only downside to the SPCs is how they look. But I'll always take function over form!

[@cameronmcintosh2978]

This video is so detailed and awesome!

[@Filthymotorsports]

Thanks so much!

[@keystonerider1308]

I’d love for you to compare some JBA control arms in with these too. Another option worth a look. And cheaper than the spc.

[@Filthymotorsports]

JBAs are great, they use the Moog ball joints :)

[@zekethefishgeek8690]

What about their delta joints? Still Moog ???

[@stumptownwoodworks]

Another big question I would love to see answered is, and maybe it would have to be vehicle specific, but at a 2-in front level on a truck...is a aftermarket UCA required to not have alignment issues or interference with the strut/spring? Getting Bilstein 6112 for the front of my F150, or that's the plan anyways.

[@Filthymotorsports]

Thanks for the question, yes, aftermarket UCAs would be highly recommended above 1.5" of lift for a proper alignment.

[@6SLipoJuice]

Awesome video ! Thank you for passing on your knowledge !

[@Filthymotorsports]

[@Kanefires]

insane value in this video. curious if there is any updates you think could be added in past 5 years?

[@gibstera5580]

Good video. Very informative. I have a 2017 4runner and doing a Dobinsons lift kit and planning on putting 285s tires. I was not planning on replacing the upper control arm until now. Watching the video is making wonder if I should go ahead and upgrade the stock arm. Is the stock arm strong enough. I am not going to rock climbing or race a baha dessert. Just need the lift for flood zones and crossing creates when going to the mountains. Thank you for your time

[@luismvazquez9102]

Wooow excelent information, thank you for the outstanding research, very easy to understad for those of us that start to modify a Truck suspensión and with this information we can do the rigth way 😀😀

[@Filthymotorsports]

You are very welcome, glad to hear you enjoyed it!

[@stumptownwoodworks]

Great breakdown on the types of joints. Giving the actual Rockwell C numbers on the hardness test would be beneficial to some. Simply comparing hardness of the ball without the race it sits in doesn't mean much, it's the system. There are instances where I may use parts into the HRc 60 range for one application and only in the 40s for another depending on the ductility required for that joint at my day job. I assume the test were done with one of the file kits? Or do you have a bench top indenter type machine?

[@Filthymotorsports]

The hardness of the balls in these applications isn't critical considering the ball joints are (should be) well lubricated at all times and, as such, wear on the ball joints isn't a common issue and thus should not be a significant deciding factor when selecting UCAs. Great question!

[@RBLX_67749_NZXcB]

Great explanation! I am getting the SPC UCA for my 2018 4Runner and having it installed by Toyota. What kind of maintenance is needed for the SPC UCA or are they low maintenance control arms?

Thanks for the info. Now i am curious about the spc's. Might switch out the fabtech uniballs. Although i just found the replacement spherical bearings for $50 ea. The first set lasted me about two years. I'm in Massachusetts with alot of salt and calcium in the winter. And i go wheeling in the spring, summer and fall, lots of mud.

[@TheGilborg]

Great video As always Ben What kind of grease would you recommend and how often to grease the SPCs? I do lots of muddy oilfield road driving.

[@Filthymotorsports]

Great question, I use Mobil 1 Synthetic Grease for everything (but just about any full synthetic grease is a great choice). Greasing the UCAs (and joints) is really easy to do every oil change if you keep it with your oil change gear but even every other or every 3 oil changes is plenty. Cheers!

[@trialmx]

@@Filthymotorsports A related grease questions; as I watch the removal and installation of bolts and nuts in videos for suspension components I notice that the threads and tapers of the hardware doesn't have antisieze or grease applied either from the factory or when the new parts are installed. Is there a reason the hardware is installed dry in these locations? Wouldn't use of a lube in these places make subsequent removals less dependant on large hammers? As long as the hardware is torqued to specs retention shouldn't be an issue.

[@randyjoeparish372]

Learned a lot from this video. Thanks for all of the info.

[@macdaddy1617]

Great video! These bullshit shops just try to sell you expensive pieces to make your vehicle look bling! Half the stuff you don’t really need that you put on your vehicle and you waste so much money, instead of pointing you to the right direction and gaining your trust you find out the majority of places don’t know shit or trying to sell you something just to make money. It’s channels like this that educate the people who want to venture into something but have no idea. 👍🏻

[@TundraVic]

I like the the adjustability of the ball joint but I have concerns about squeaking upper control arm bushings. I don't see any zerk fittings to keep them lubed. I had a bad experience with polyurethane bushings making noise in the past.

[@Filthymotorsports]

There are no Zerk fittings on the SPCs, however, the trick with polyurethane is to go heavy with some synthetic lube (Super Lube in a gray tube) during the installation and then they stay quiet.

[@stevemcgavren7645]

Am I not seeing one in the above video? @@Filthymotorsports

[@donaldlarison551]

I heard of this channel from a guy at the ski hill. I have a Titan swapped 2005 Xterra Off Road and needed more caster and camer to get it in spec. I bought the SPC adjustable control arm 10 mins before watching this video and now I'm 100% confident i made the right decision. I have to get my vehicle aligned at Advanced Suspension Design because most "reputable" alignment shops dont understand what a Titan Swap is. I had to find the one guy in town that said "i don't what the badge on the vehicle says, i care about the angles" Would it be wise to get the Camber bolt kit as well?

[@Filthymotorsports]

Great choice on the UCAs. A camber bolt kit should not be needed unless your alignment guy suggests it.

The plastic in the SPC may be so dirt will dig into the softer plastic vs scratching on the ball. Path of least resistance possibly?

[@ejshelby5460]

so glad to find your channel, very well explained! Can I ask a question, product-specific. I installed the Old man emu BP51 front coil over on the 4runner but kept the factory UCA. The reason being 1. I won't install larger tires and 2. I wanted to do minimal lifting (less than 2"). The BP51 has ride height adjustment which I did, to the lowest lift, but it somehow still gave me a 3" lift! Now I face an issue, the remote reservoir hose is trightly jammed under the UCA. What aftermarket UCA allows wider arch/more clearance? Or, if my current situation is a real concern? Will the downward movement of the factory UCA damage the hose?

Thank you for watching!

[@anthonyreddy2834]

Welcome Back! Another very informational Video! Question, what are the Degree's of movement between the 4 joints, How do they Compare???

[@Filthymotorsports]

Thanks! All joints exceeded the angle requirement for a mid-travel suspension so having "extra" was irrelevant and not a benefit so we felt no need to post those results. They will all get the job done with margin to spare. Great question!

[@anthonyreddy2834]

Thank you, that makes sense and my choice easier for replacing my uniball or now thinking about just getting the SPC uca.

Awesome video. Quick question - on your website it says the SPC upper control arms will add about 3/4” of travel on a 4Runner. Is that 3/4” suspension travel or wheel travel? And is that down/droop travel? Thanks!

[@Filthymotorsports]

Thanks for the question, on the 4Runner with "extended travel" you get an extra 1/2" to 3/4" droop travel at the tire.

[@snooka2484]

Explaining how lower control arms allow for bigger tires was eye opening! Could you recommend a lower and upper control arm for a 2015 GMC Sierra? I never see this kind of mod on KZbin or internet forums. I've always looked at my truck wishing that I could move that wheel just a little forward.

[@Filthymotorsports]

Happy to help, send us an email and we can go over your options.

[@eestorba]

What do you recommend: Replace aftermarket ball joints for a stock fit, rather than buying the whole UCA assembly which is costly. Is there available aftermarket ball joints in the market?

[@Filthymotorsports]

That depends on the application, some UCAs have replaceable ball joints and some do not (and require replacing the complete UCAs).

[@thomaswilliams9844]

Great info 👍🏼 I have a question regarding Freedom off-road UCA I found them for a little over 300.00 and was wondering your opinion on them. I’m doing a billstein 5100 / OME 887/ Icon mini leaf pack and was wondering about using the Freedom Off-road UCA’s due to trying to keep my costs down and I do mild to medium off-road trails, but mostly camping etc. Trying to keep my costs under 1500 for the lift. Thank you , very informative video.

[@djmiller1258]

Awesome videos..i learned allot thru them all thank you

[@Marco-fi6gv]

Thanks for the video, very informative. I still do have questions though. I have 2.5 in leveling kit on my F150 I'm trying to decide between the Delta joint and the BDS. Judging from your video, the BDS set up will be more durable fan I like that it readily available Moog ball joints. It also costs less. The one thing I would like to know is, does the Delta joint have greater articulation? That will play a factor in my decision as well.

[@Filthymotorsports]

Great question! Every aftermarket UCA has a ball joint or spherical bearing that offers more misalignment than the suspension system can use (since they are limited by other factors like CV shafts, steering linkages, and coilovers). So having more misalignment stops being a benefit past that point as it would never be allowed to move more anyway. Does that help?

First time watching and I have to say one of the best most informative videos Ive seen. I am looking to do all new suspension and UCA for my first gen Tundra and almost pulled the trigger on the Camburgs but after this video and my application I think SPC is what I need. I would like to know if the SPC has the possibility to slide out of spot when under serious pounding? Also do you have a video on coil over brands and your thoughts? Thanks again!

[@Filthymotorsports]

Thanks for watching and yes, the SPCs would be an excellent choice. When installed correctly they don't move, even under aggressive use. As for shocks, send us an email and we can make some recommendations!

[@tehschkott]

I guess I'm 2 years behind the curve here but this was great, thanks. Do LCA's have a degree of built-in adjustability or do you have to source aftermarket ones? I have a 2020 Ranger and the only aftermarket LCA's I can find are being sold for a Prerunner kit produced by APG. While an additional 6 inches of travel seems swell I cannot afford the $8000 price tag APG is charging for it. No offense to APG, I'm just saying I would like to get 35's into my truck (eventually) but I am unwilling to pay $8000 to do it.

[@Filthymotorsports]

Great question, yes, most LCAs are adjustable at the chassis via factory cam-bolts.

[@talltexan8401]

Hey, I have a question, is it possible to tow with off road coilovers and still maintain optimum performance, or would I need to switch out the coils for stiffer ones every time I tow?

[@Filthymotorsports]

That really depends more on how the suspension is setup, but yes, that is a very common request.

[@talltexan8401]

Thanks😉

[@mannyr9225]

Amazing video thanks. 25:56 Why would someone choose a delta joint. What are those unique features? Seems like the Moog is the same yet has a better price and is more durable.

[@Filthymotorsports]

Pretty much. The main benefit of the Delta joint is that it replaces the spherical bearings on some older Icon upper control arms.
