    Is this UCA Bushing toast?

    Thank you - that is correct, i wasn't remembering accurately and did not think to check the documentation in the previous reply. -1 Camber is what i was looking for which appears to be just out of spec

    Is this UCA Bushing toast?

    RCP Phx - the -1 caster is hard to believe? i don't know if/why the shop would make that up if it weren't the case - but i haven't had the time to get down and understand how to measure it out myself. I have driven it 1000 mi since putting it all back together and besides the nut on sway bar...

    Is this UCA Bushing toast?

    Got it in - had to do a lil bangin, a little pressin, a lil makeshift pressin (threaded rod of an appropriate length with some appropriately stacked washers and some pieces from the press), looks ok. Got the rest pieced together pretty well - passenger side wheel has a -1 degree caster which is...

    Is this UCA Bushing toast?

    Ok yes i was attempting to press dry - wasn't positive if i could grease/anti-seize the can before inserting - but i've definitely seen some folks on Youtube doing it in this case.

    Is this UCA Bushing toast?

    yeah - i quit pressing due to exhaustion last night, but didn't want to keep pressing if i'd be having to pull it out anyway. I guess my question really is: if i can properly seat it - and it's still bulging - is it a safety issue, and will it likely cause an issue in a week or six - or is this...

    Is this UCA Bushing toast?

    Was pressing in this UCA bushing last night, and i think the plate on the ball joint press wasn't complete aligned and it looks like i may have over pressed (if that is possible)? The rubber looks a bit herniated here - compared to the brand new, and the old passenger side (pictured), the rubber...

    Windshield Frame Rust - '00 XJ Sport 4.0

    Hey There! read through the windshield rust threads and wanted to get your opinions on how to clean up this trouble spot on the passenger side of the vehicle. I don't know much about fixing rust like this - but it doesn't appear to be leaking (in SO CAL, so it was car wash tested is all). Is...
