    I have a pair of brand new SPC UCA’s only out to check them out and for pictures. $475. I’m in Southern AZ.

    VEHICLE FITMENTS:
    Lexus: GX460 2010 - 2023 Lexus: GX470 2003 - 2009 Toyota: 4Runner 2003 - 2024 Toyota: FJ Cruiser 2007 - 2014

    I could ship them at your cost. I’ll try to find a box tomorrow and post up dimensions for reference. I’d estimate it being up to 25lbs packaged, the SPC’s in factory box weight just over 21lbs.

    They are still sending joints with zerk fittings on the 4R side? The Tundra side is all sealed maintenance free ball joints now.

    I went from Bilstein 5100’s w/600lb springs to 6112’s w/650lb springs and new OEM LCA’s. I just left the OEM UCA’s in and there and then got it aligned.

    It was too big of a job for me to do those as well, and was kind of intimidated by them.

    I bought these a Couple years ago (hence the good price) and never did get around to installing them. IDK if they’ve changed styles or not?

    That makes sense. They are all maintenance free joints now.

    10-4, I don’t now much about them (or any UCA’s for that matter), but it seems like a lot of other companies have Grease Zirks in them, and they recommend greasing every 3,000-5,000Mi (JBA’s for instance and other well known brands). If I were to put these on, I’d probably buy a second set of BJ’s to have on hand if they fail since they are a wear item.

    Alright guys thanks for the info. So looking into these it sounds like these have the prior ball joints that are greasable and the newest ones come with non-greasable BJ’s.

    Looking at the prices for the new maintenance free BJ’s (part#35102)I’m seeing prices from around $169-$210ish for the pair. So you could buy mine, buy the new BJ’s, and have a spare on hand for less than you could buy a new set with the new BJ’s.

    We could always call SPC, or research and see if they would warranty or trade these for the newest ones. Just throwing that all out there.

    As long as the new owner greases them as recommended they will be fine.
