Hey everyone, been awhile since I’ve posted here. Time to start putting some more time into my Truck. I have about 65k miles now and drive on washboarded out dirt roads daily on my commute to work. The pro suspension seems to handle them like a champ but I’m starting to hear some noise coming from the front end when articulating the suspension at slow speed. I mostly hear them when pulling in or out of my driveway and slowly going over slight side hills.

I think I’ve isolated the noise to the ball joint on the passenger side UCA. I assumed they wouldn’t last as long as a stick truck with the increase angle of the pro suspension but still seems a little premature.

What are everyone else’s experiences? Which UCAs should I get for a daily driver and light off roader? Camburg?
