eBay uniball control arms?

[dkyleb]

I went through all of ES's universal sizes and couldn't find any that matched the sizes these UCA's need.

Really? But all pro bushings fit? I would be willing to bet all pro sources from ES.

I still have a set of the UCA bushings, I think. Hoping I can use the sleeves at least! Will try them out as soon as the UCAs get to my door. All pro wants $65 CAD shipped for 4 sleeves... Not sure if I can stomach that.

I would be surprised. I went through what they advertise for sale.

If you are looking for a sleeves, here DOM by the foot (I currently dont have the needed ID/OD measurements in font of me, but if you have a micro-meter and the UCA's you can pull your own measurements.

This is what I was going to by in bulk to make sleeves for anyone interested, but you can jump on it.

Hmmm...

Thanks for the link. I'm gonna measure up once they get here. Luckily, I live in an industrial area, and I'm sure I'll be able to source them locally or have them machined for me. I doubt I'll start producing them. Shipping from Canada would be silly.

Haha anyone posted the sizes of what the sleeves SHOULD be?

 

[BOFFROAD]

looks good, what paint and cam bolts did you use?

I used semi gloss Rust-Oleum Stops Rust paint. Factory cam bolts.

I believe they should be right around 55mm. This is based on a replacement set they sent me I never tired out. Next week I will be pulling them off to inspect everything, I can get measurements then.

Sorry if you've posted this before, but are you using the provided sleeves and bushings? Did you just trim your bushings?

 

[ajonesnv]

I trimmed my bushings as you can read in my write up.

I complained to Suspension Marketplace and they sent another set of sleeves. IDK, if they lengthened them like I asked or if they just sent duplicates cause I never put them on. If they are just duplicates then the right length should be about 55mm. Ill have to confirm once I actually pull the arm.

The trimming of the bushings was a temporary fix. I still plan on getting another set of bushings from All Pro and purchasing DOM to spec out my own sleeves.

I just recieved mine in the mail got them in two days which is cool. One of the zerk fittings broke as I was snugging them up and checking out them arms... So I will purchase all new ones after that easy snap. Over all seem beefy and good to go after a few modifications and paint job.

 

[Morphyne]

So I just got done reading this entire thread. my t4r aligns fine, but I need new ball joints and bushings and am thinking that maybe this is a better way to go.

 

[ajonesnv]

For what the price is, its hard not to.

BJ's and bushings alone put you in the ball park.

I like their updated hardware too!

Looks like they still haven't figured out the correct inner sleeve length though. :bash:

 

[ajonesnv]

They must be getting wrong info, cause I know some of us have told them thats a problem.

Nope I'm actually looking at that right now and thinking which way I'm gonna go with that.
If I do nothing.. What the bushings wear a little faster and I would have to replace them with better bushings? Doesn't sound bad to me it's not like I haven't rebuilt control arms a dozen times plus I might as well see how they are before I worry about fine tuning them... I dunno.

 

[morphious]

I would just grind them down a bit, that is what I did and haven't had any problems.

Cool! Looks like they come with uniball covers now!

Can you measure the sleeve for me? ID and OD? And maybe the end to end of the bushings?

Did the dust covers / stone shields come with your 6112s?

If so, mine did not. Wonder where I can pick a pair up?

 

[dkyleb]

How was the fit up? Sleeve still short?

Did you paint these? I just went to buy them and they were out-of-stock. Waited too long and had to go with the metallic blue ones. :frusty:
