4th gens running Icon front coil overs

Just wanted to ask if anyone else's are "loud"? Mine squeak even driving on the street, turning into a parking spot, etc. it's getting kind of annoying as I've spent a lot of money on my suspension. I though it might have been the uca so I lubed the uniball and added grease to the zerks. Didn't work so I then greased the lower control arms as well just incase it wasn't the coil overs. No change.

So is there a way to lube the shock so it's quiet again?

Have you tried to lube the lower shock mount heims? Could be those.

Oh great...so these things are going to be loud? That's going to annoy me. Guess I should have researched more. Are there certain ways to avoid this?

some done do it, some do. If you shoot some lube on the shaft seals every once and awhile itll go away but it will come back.

I just got rid of my icons and im silent.

Either look at it like that sound is how squeaky clean the shaft is going through that seal....

OR

It's the kinetic energy being dissipated as heat and noise (and even light if you look closely in the dark!) with the extreme stiction of that seal and whatever lack of lube + presence of grime is there.

Sorry, totally unhelpful post.

Man... I hate threads like this because I know I am eventually going to upgrade suspension again and I really dont want to look forward to that stuff either, so I get it OP.

As much as I want to upgrade to the ICON stuff soon, I have a feeling I am going to miss how tight, quiet, and frustration free my 6112 setup is with the stock UCA.

Its a great performing setup and in the city/freeway drive is amazing, but I wonder if my desire for more performance off-road is going to leave me with any sour taste when on-road.

Having achieved a good balance is a good place to be, which is why I am hesitant to change at this point... that said, its only a matter of time until another box shows up at my doorstep.

My brother has 30k miles on his Icons front and rear, and I have around 25k on mine with no issues whatsoever. Believe me when I say we've thrashed them hard from time to time. We've noticed no squeaks or leaks ever. Even our uniballs have been problem-free since day 1. Sure they've got dirty on the trails and started squeaking but a shot of tri-flow got them quiet immediately.

I don't blame @LTDSC for going with Kings after his Icons failed twice, but I don't want others to be deterred from what is either a poor maintenance regimen or just bad luck on a few other's rigs. With the experience my brother has had with them, I didn't even think about going with any of the other shock brands for my truck. Maybe we're the Icon outliers?

According to my brother, the FJ forum users seem to constantly bash Icons for breaking/leaking which him and I attribute to the larger percentage of FJ's on the forum running Icons vs other brands. I just hate to see new people getting scared of a good product from the bad luck or misunderstanding/misuse of a few users.

I say this now, so watch both my coilovers explode in 50 miles.

I had over 70k before the first issue. Good luck, many have issues with icons and I have not been easy on them.

You know not to use wet lube on the uniballs... hey take dry Teflon lube ONLY

Yeah I've been using the tri-flow I believe it's called. It's gotta be the shocks as the rear is squeaking now. I'm sure there's no issues, just annoying
