That is rust from one year?!?!!

My only beef with uniballs is that I have to replace all of them and the hiems every 30k. PIA but I guess I have to deal with them.Whats the beef with uniballs? I’d take them over the SPC junk arms any day of the week. You can swap them out for rebuildable units from EMF if you’re worried about wear.

Good thing I don't drink or I would have had multiple DUIs due to my front end wonder! 
My lean is BAD right now. I am thinking of just swinging by Deaver and see what they would whack me to level it out. Is that a 3* shim?ok I lied I’m not good at keeping track of time but I can say i don’t even drive it in the salt/snow winter time. Looking at my pictures and date stamps I installed them on feb 3, 2019 when I put my new set of Dakars on. Lesson learned, I should haven painted them I guess

Yes 3°, when I replaced my Dakars the old aluminum ones crumbled so I replaced them with new steel ones. I’m surprised my housing isn’t tweaked yet to be honest hahaMy lean is BAD right now. I am thinking of just swinging by Deaver and see what they would whack me to level it out. Is that a 3* shim?

Headstrong off-road. They were the cheapest to get dakars sent to me as well. Sorry they were zinc alloy not aluminum. But still better than aluminumYeah my aluminum ones did the same. Where did you get steel ones?


I want the ones that shaped like the spring in a ball point pen. You know the ones that have shocks built into them and work with trailing arms. Thinking of which, when is the next RST Rock Solid Toys Tee Shirt burning?I need to replace my Dakars.. after 12 years they are kinda toast. Not sure which ones I want. They have many flavors now.
Dakar make ones specifically for bed racks/RTT's IIRC.I need to replace my Dakars.. after 12 years they are kinda toast. Not sure which ones I want. They have many flavors now.
Have any of you replaced your o2 sensors? I have 130k and thinking it would be a good time to replace mine. Thoughts?
