Broken Driver Side Upper Control Arm

HA! It was a thought for some time.... not currently, though.

High crime rate, overpriced housing, high taxes, fees for almost everything, overcrowded, rude people, you can't even pump your own gas, snooki.... Moving out of Jersey pays for itself in 2 weeks!

Definitely going to spray the new UCAs with something to help prevent from thwart off the rust.

During the Winter I coat the entire undercarriage etc. on my truck with WD40 after every wash. $4 bucks a can twice a month is relatively cheap rust prevention. 9 years in Michigan and no rust.

I imagine you could put it in some kind of paint sprayer and you are good to go!

The bad UBJ and the bad bushings can probably contribute greatly to this failure. Impulses from the switching of the force direction (from turning or rough roads) can create really large loads that would otherwise be manageable with joints that are in good shape.

The UBJ and the UCA bushings are definitely beat up... I agree that they contributed to the UCA failure.
