Front UCA Bushings, UBJs

Performed: April 19, 2022

Had some help from my buddy Jeremy with the UCA bushings. I don’t know if I’d have been able to line up those long ass bolts by myself!

OEM All the Way

I was paranoid about poly since I’ve experienced minor squeaks after replacing the steering rack and sway bar bushings with ES and the rear control arm bushings with WhiteLine.

I saved a bit buying all front control arm bushings and upper ball joints from PartSouq but it still hurt. I was surprised it only took 4 days to arrive from Dubai.


  • Torn Outer Seal

What went wrong? I found a torn outer bearing seal but it wasn’t anything we did.
