Talking camburg uca

so I got tired of replacing ball joints and decided to put these on last weekend.
2 things:
first, I didnt realize that it would lift the front end a bit? like an inch or so. I didn't measure before and after but when I set it down it looks higher. even after driving around. not a big deal except I hate tail draggers so now I gotta do sumthing in the rear. is the best bet new springs? any luck with add a leafs?

second, I notice a ride change too. seems a tad bit firmer. I wouldn't think just an a-arm replacement would have that affect. and I had to drive it a day before I could get allingment.. not a good idea. I could turn the wheel and let go and it would stay turned.. just a bit off..

or maybe its all in my head.. sticky icky did just get legalized in this state.. lol


easy to install btw and they look fantastical..

UCAs definitely don't lift the truck, so thats all in your head.

I love my Camburgs too. Make sure to grease the bushings often and spray teflon on the ball joint. This keeps the squeaking down, they get loud after a while.

Ya I read about that. Grease n Teflon!
Maybe it looked higher cause the insides of the tires wernt touching cause the tops were out so far. lol. Before alignment.
