Just ordered the part from Wheeler's. You are definitely saving my knuckles, my sanity and quite possibly my marriage. You should think about a talk show.
I've been on the fence about adding the camburg UCA's to my truck. I've read this post probably a dozen times now and every time I do the credit card comes a little further out of my wallet
Here's the main reason for me purchasing these UCA's. With the spacer I was getting a clunk from the front. The ball joint at full droop was hitting the outter casing and leaving this dent. If anyone else has a spacer that mounts above the coilover assembly and you hear a clunk when you drop down a crub or go over a speed bumb you may want to invest in some UCA's, or get rid of those spacers. I would not want to be driving if this breaks.
Well just got done with this DIY. Thank you to Derek24 for the pictures and PM replies. Was a 2 day affair with 2 Autozone trips and a Lowes trip for a 7/8 wrench to turn the hex on the C-clamp but wouldn't have been had we the proper tools from the beginning. Just needs a good alignment now. I'm just happy knowing I upgraded my suspension and kept myself and others safe from a possible ball joint separation. I'll be happy to help others if they have questions as well!

Hey, now you need to upgrade your brake calipers, and front end will be perfect!

You are welcome I'm glad you got everything all in, I bet it feels like a different truck. I bet you could knock out another Tundra in like an hour now, its not that hard just takes a while.

Yeah I was wonder whether or not I had the upgraded calipers or not. Will it stop better with the new calipers because this thng stops on a dime already? There's an 06' Tundra on Craigslist here and its a part truck maybe I should go take the calipers off that and buy some slotted and drilled rotors too. Thanks Tinik you're making me spend more of my money lol!
Just found this thread, great write up Derek, but they are on upside down! Just mess'n with ya! Where the heck were you when I did mine awhile back?!? For the record, I'm very happy with mine too. Your Tundra's look'n good.
