Tired of SPC not honoring their warranty claim. 2x their UCA under performed. This time I went with Freedom Offroad UCA and their "No question ask" policy/warranty.

Great info...Damn. You're a glutton for punishment. I was just preaching about this on my thread. All those companies are garbage. You just traded one joker in for the other one. There's a reason why Solo Motorsports, Camburg, Total Chaos, MCM, Baja Kits... there's a reason why those companies exist and outsell. They are racing companies. Pure and simple. Their RND comes from racing experience, Additionally, those companies employ individuals that understand off road suspension geometry. Geometry is literally what you're paying for. When you buy a reputable upper control arm or have one custom fabbed for you, you're getting correct geometry. You're also getting a 1" uniball which is never going to break unlike the ball joint. Albeit, UBJ failure is not as common on Toyotas as the LBJ but regardless it's the same principle. Maybe Freedom is a little better than SPC which I would never consider buying but you're still counting on Freedom not having their head up their ass. Freedom might have just taken a reputable UCA and made a jig and then made "their own" UCA and it could be great for $510 for all I know.... BUT the downside is if they didn't and they didn't get the geometry on the uniball cup correct and cycled the suspension well enough to accomodate for bump steer and or camber change throughout the cycle then.... You have a Freedom off road UCA bro.
To end my rant. Solo Motorsports and said companies have holiday sales every year and this year, a couple of weeks ago, I looked at Solo during their Christmas Sale and their UCA's were $650 from the normal of $800 or about. Who am I trusting more, Bobby and CO. down at SOLO Moto. who races Baja and has been developing race parts since the middle 2000's or Freedom Off Road??????????? for $150?!
Maybe we should just call Josh at First gen offroad. I'm sure he's the nicest guy in the world but I'm sorry, there's 69 guys on Dezert Rangers or Bad Lines Good Times forums that I would rather take suspension advice from than Josh at 1genoffroad.com BRO. Every time I see a post where a guy is like man, called Josh at first gen off road and he said I "NEEDED" the SPC or Freedom UCA I slap myself in the forehead with my hand. Who am I trusting more, Josh or guys out in AZ CALI NEV when it comes to suspension?
Great info...
1st gen was where I bought them SPC from. Yes Josh felt bad that 2x SPC had let me down. I saved $ on Freedom and the job was a banana so taking a chance on an already cheap UCA is a gamble I'm willing to take. There are more options for the tacos and 4runners but 1st gen trees -not so much. Total Chaos don't make sequioa UCA otherwise i would've went with them.

I installed TC UCAs on mine in 2019. Just ordered my first set of bushings to freshen up. Order for the Tundra, be sure to trim back the bucket or it will rubGreat info...
