Do your adjustable uppers and lowers come set already?

Also do they come loaded with ball joints as well?

Umi's lower A-arms already come with set with Moog problem solver ball joints. Their upper a-arms do not come with ball joints. But putting in upper ball joints is a matter of bolting three bolts to the a-arm. I got their lowers a week ago and im just waiting for the uppers right now, with a few other things

Hello,

YES our upper and lower A-Arms are pre-set to factory length during assembly... usually with in a 1/16th of an inch.. you may still need to make a few small adjustments but we give you a good starting point.

The lowers come fully assembled with new ball joints installed. The uppers do not come with ball joints... but when you purchase the upper ball joints new they just bolt on to our arms, not pressing.

Let me know if I can help anymore. Thank you!

your original post in this thread didn't specify stock or otherwise ..on stock there is usually only the ball joint that gets lubed(a zerk fitting on the upper ball joint would face up as the threaded/ball portion faces down thru the spindle) not the stock bushings..

Hello,
On the non-adjustable upper A arms the grease fittings will face down towards the ground.

If you have any additional questions please ask and I will be glad to help. thanks!
