Ok I didn't realize the OEM UCA ball joint was replaceable and the whole component has to be replaced. So what company makes a UCA with a removable/replaceable ball joint for a 06?

 

Let us know if you find one...

 

Will do. I planned to have my UCA powdercoated before I realized I couldn't replace just the joint.

 

The Moog OEM replacement UCA's are cheap and come with greaseable ball joints. Does the ball joint have to removed to powdercoat?

 

From my understanding yes. Due to the component going into a oven it will melt anything rubber, plastic etc.

 

Ah yes, the rubber boot might be a problem. Not sure the heat it can tolerate.

 

So the UCA by moog (k80306, k80308) have a removable ball joint. Yet they don't make a ball joint to replace it, not sure I understand that concept. Wondering does the ball joint get damaged when you press it out? So say I was to remove it to powdercoat the arm, could I put the ball joint back in?
