    I know ya'll are gonna let me have it for asking and not trying a search, but I can never search this site effectively. Anyway, can anyone who has the TC UCA's for 1st gen suggest a "generic" 1" uniball as a replacement instead of the over priced ones on TC? Thanks

    Offroad Warehouse has various sizes of FK brand uniballs which are acceptable replacements. They probably have the size for this application, but can't say for sure. They should have an equivalent for the TC one if you bring in the used uniball, or the listing for the bearing off TC's website.

    Offroad Warehouse also has spherical bearings for the lower shock mount on King Shocks. The part number for those will be FK Bearings COM 10T

    Location would help, but Off Road Warehouse, Kartek, McKensizes, and more carry FK and Aurora uniballs. I believe TC uses something similar to FK WSSX16T, but you should call them to confirm.

    Kartek is awesome, wish they were a little bit closer to me.

    Ever spoken to them? They’re all off road guys and always willing to help. I just called them and Rob confirmed the part number I stated is what Kartek would sell in place of theirs. He cautioned that the TC part may be a little different and to make sure the c-clip fully seats.

    FWIW I have TC LT on my first gen and replace uniballs every other season with FK. I’ve had zero issues over the last 10 years and never even gave TC uniballs a thought.

    Thanks Mullen...I wasn't being snarky towards you, hope you didn't take it that way. Just thought it was funny that TC guys would maybe give the part # they sourced for their stuff...and marked up 50%. :rofl:

    How big a rush you in? I may have something that could work but would have to check. I'm in North County but frequent down south.
