hey guys, I have a question for you guys. I was looking at my front suspension and noticed a lot of black gunk on the upper control arm ball joint. I was told by a guy who does airbags that the boot on the Ball Joint was busted. Any reason why this would happen? Im running my bags on the stock UCA's and LCA's. Why do some companies use DJM arms?

Billy @ EMA Customs did my bags he said he didnt use that. Also, I dont think I can replace the boot because the Chevy dealer said that with the 99+ Silverados, if u bust the boot on there, you have to replace the arm. Does anyone know why some shops use new UCA's and LCA's?

Ya, im gonna call DJM today and see if they can help me out. What are the advantages to using new arms from the beginning?

Unfortunately, on the 99+ Silverados, you have to replace the whole UCA if you bust a boot. :cussing:
I bought DJM uppers for mine.
