UCA Uniball Replacement

[@KendrasEdge757]

Straight and to the point. Great job brother! God bless~

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Thanks!

[@IpreferXX]

Nice tip on the snap ring. You probably saved someone time taking it back out. It's the details that count!

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Thanks Perry.

I have one of those C clamp style press kits… it’s fine, but that sleeve kit you showed looks like a dream. Just ordered a kit. Plus you can use the sleeves on a hydraulic press! Great informative video.

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Hell yeah! 🤘🏼this press sleeve kit has come in handy for sooo many jobs over the years. We’ve found many uses with the press. A nice addition to any tool collection indeed. - Sean

Great work and I will take a look at the big kit you mention. It's likely that the exact same one won't be available here but your suggestions are always good and a good place to start for options. I also need to check your UC arm swap videos and I'm looking to do the bushes on mine. My research suggests the UC arm bushings might not be swappable but will see. Thanks as ever for making and sharing!!

[@TimmyTheToolman]

You should be able to swap our your bushings. You're very welcome and Happy Wrenching!

Great video. Quick question Can you help me with my 03 Tacoma I need some engine work done or someone you trust that you can recommend down here in southern California. Thanks again

[@TimmyTheToolman]

We're in NorCal. What's wrong with your engine?

[@JorgeSilva-wk8ji]

I believe I have the same issue like Sean's 4Runner. I have 5vzfe supercharged I saw coolant leak between the block and head on driver's side. Thanks for replying

[@TimmyTheToolman]

@@JorgeSilva-wk8ji Sounds like you either have a leaking intake manifold gasket or maybe the coolant bypass pipe connection to the block is leaking, KP Offroad might be able to help you. They're in SoCal. kpoffroad.com/

[@JorgeSilva-wk8ji]

Also wanted to ask you which head gaskets did you use on Sean's 4Runner when you replaced the heads from Yota 1 performance. Or do you know of better head gaskets for supercharged 3.4l. thanks for the help

[@TimmyTheToolman]

@@JorgeSilva-wk8ji we used OEM Toyota MLS (multi layered steel) head gaskets

I ditched my King bump stops and added bags. I got a leaf under axel with kings and I friggin love it. I can add or drop in a second with my onboard compressor.

I have the eBay uniball UCA. I know everyone says it’s crap but would it be worth it to change out the uniball to this style wth the straight thru bolt? My Uniball has the short allen head bolt on top and a hex bolt on the Bottom if that makes any sense. Thanks Timmy the Toolman! Appreciate you tons!

[@TimmyTheToolman]

You're very welcome. Thanks for the comment

[@JJ-rb3ss]

Man these after market upper control arms dont last. My SPC ball joints and bushings were shot in 2 yrs with no offroading lol

[@TimmyTheToolman]

Mark's uniballs were 7 years old, so it was not too bad for longevity.

[@garn79]

watched a yt vid last couple days that had been posted quite recently. it was an off-road supplier that said they were no longer stocking spc due to this issue, bad batch aft bad batch. said until spc proves they have issue resolved they won’t stock them

Total Chaos copy cat.

[@MechaTronic161]
