New SPC UCA or old. How to identify?

[4runnerfiend]

I ordered a set on Amazon and am worried what gen they are. When I look at instruction videos online you have a sleeve that is pushed into the mounting bushings. These look to be pressed in. Can anyone help identify?

Have you reached out to SPC with your serial #? I'm sure they'll know right away, or even give you how to find the date code in the serial.
They look like old versions to me, which wouldn't surprise me based on Amazon's "updated" inventory!

edit - I'm wrong :llama:

Those are the newest revision. SPC only started shipping those arms with the xAxis bushings a few months ago. The video online is for the old style, needs to be updated.


The xAxis is way better than the "SpecRide" (polyurethane) bushings they used to use.



For those with old arms, they sell a retrofit kit to add xAxis.

Thanks! yeah these bushing look really nice. They look like the same in their rear lower links which they claimed gave better articulation.

What’s the difference? I’ve got the older version but am pretty lazy.

are the UCAs and UBJs still Made in USA?

Pretty sure. I'll have to look again, but I saw "made in the USA" either on them or on the instructions
