Give them a few days to formulate an answer that makes it sound like your vehicle is to blame.

It will be something like this

"We are sorry to hear you are having issues with our product. We've sold several thousand of those units and have never had that kind of complaint. Are you sure its our product causing the noise? Can you bring it by the shop where we can evaluate it?"

 

[Silverback]

What they will fail to mention, is that they have sold several thousand to guys who's trucks NEVER see any kind of off-road. Well unless they are posing for a picture and then its back to pavement and a car wash.

The uniballs in your Lucas are toast based on you location I'm going to assume they see a lot of mud. Mud and uniballs don't like eachother it is hands down the fastest way to kill them packing the with mud just like putting sandpaper on the liner, if you see a lit of mud then the uniball uca isn't for you. Plus your using the wrong lubrication on them oil tends to attract and hold grit and dirt you need to be using a dry lithium based lube.

Dry lithium lube and if you need new balls get stainless for sure. Chrome is not made for mud/salt/sand/anything exterior. Your lucky the original balls were stainless - at least AP was smart enough to think that through - unlike TC.

AP uses 1-1/4" FK balls.

Right there! Also, do the Murphy cup! Take a 3" ABS plumbing cap ($3-
$4US at Home Improvement store) cut it down to about 1" tall and then put a bunch of dry graphite on the top of the uniball - could even spay some of the Teflon spay in there first - then seal the uniball up by RTVing the cup to the top of the UCA. It is not a cure all and it won't protect the underside, but gravity will be your friend there! You could always thread a little screw on the top of it to allow you to put more in when you need to. - Good Luck!!!

is a good idea!

Yeah I cheated.. I just quoted what AllPro already told you. It was for a different reason, but I'm sure their response will be the same. LOL

Me and anyone else!!!

You know how many times I've heard them tell others "Every truck is different." Translation: "Our tolerances are so varied and un-checked that we have no idea how it will work on any truck, never mind a new one!!!"

I use dry teflon lube for my uniballs. DuPont and several bicycle companies make it (Its popular for bike chains). It comes as a liquid in spray or a dropper and dries to a waxy coating. It works great and doesn't pick up too much dirt.

This is the best stuff. I have 2 cans. Amazon sells it for under $10.
