dir=\"ltr\"><strong>How do I check if my uni balls are worn out?<\/strong><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">One of the first things to check during prep is play in the upper or lower uni balls. Use a pry bar between the flange and the uni ball cup and pry up and down. If you see slop between the ball and the race, it\u2019s time to replace them.\u00a0<em>(Watch at 0:20\u20130:41).<\/em><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><em>What\u2019s another way to test lower uni ball wear?<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Place a jack under the lower uni ball bolt while the frame is supported on jack stands. If the ball moves excessively, it\u2019s worn out and needs replacement. (Watch 0:50\u20131:02).<\/em><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><em>When should I replace my suspension bushings?<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Even if they\u2019re not destroyed, bushings should be replaced when they develop inner sleeve slop or look dry and cracked. Catching them early prevents bigger failures on the trail. (Watch 1:15\u20131:30).<\/em><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><em>How do I check shock rod ends for wear?<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Inspect the lower shock rod ends. Worn rod ends create a clunking noise that\u2019s hard to trace. If they\u2019re still tight with no slop, they\u2019re fine\u2014but this is a common wear point. (Watch 1:32\u20131:49).<\/em><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><em>What are the signs that my suspension bushings are too dry?<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Look for grease pushed out or flaking around the bushings. If they look dry and haven\u2019t been greased in a while, service them. (Watch 2:05\u20132:15).<\/em><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><em>Why do I need to check CV boot clamps?<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><em>If a CV boot clamp comes loose, grease leaks out and can damage the CV joint. Re-clamp it with the proper hardware to prevent failure. (Watch 2:38\u20132:53).<\/em><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><em>How do limit straps protect my suspension?<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Properly adjusted limit straps prevent uni ball binding and protect the CVs at full droop. Check that your straps are the correct length during prep. (Watch 2:56\u20133:06).<\/em><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><em>What should I look for in the rear suspension links?<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Rear links need to be removed to inspect properly. Old, dry bushings are common and should be replaced. Grease them with\u00a0<\/em><strong><em>Total Chaos Hush Butter<\/em><\/strong><em>\u00a0for long-lasting performance. (Watch 3:30\u20133:49).<\/em><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><em>Why use Total Chaos Hush Butter grease?<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Hush Butter is extra sticky, stays in place, and dramatically reduces squeaks and wear. It keeps the vehicle quiet and extends the life of bushings. (Watch 3:45\u20133:52).<\/em><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><strong><em>How long can Total Chaos suspension kits last?<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\"><em>Even with 70,000 miles and 12 years without prep, this FJ Cruiser kit was still functional. Once you replace uni balls, bushings, and service everything with Hush Butter, the kit is literally as good as new.
