Have an extended warranty. Going to try that route before tackling it myself.

Was it a pretty simple DIY? Just mark the drive shaft location, take bolts off on one end, slide the other end off and then grease the inside of the new one, slide it on and bolt the other end back up?

Count me as a lucky one as well. 2021 with 62k but I have a 6in BDS lift

I happen to be under the truck today making sure my new endlinks were still tight and I saw grease spots on the skid plate for the transfer case. As I looked closer I saw grease slung around on the under body heat shield and I ran my finger across the drive shaft seal and it had black grease...

It was odd, I have been using the same click 1/2 inch torque wrench for 2 years with no issue. I got the nut tight enough with my normal ratchet. When I was applying the torque of 114lbs which is the recommended setting for the top nut for the end links for my year Ram. It was turning with...

Well rookie mistake is what I did today. Was swapping out the front end links and didn’t realize that my torque wrench was broken. Set the ft lbs and starting going at it and just didn’t feel it clicking so I kept going and snap! The second one didn’t feel like it was broken until I went and...

Just to follow up on my post 5 months later. Sent my next oil analysis to black stone and got the results today. Manganese is now back within normal numbers. Must have been some contamination or something in the gas but glad to see all looks good now.

I torqued them to factory 128 ft lbs today. can’t remember what I had torqued them before. lol. I had not used blue loctite since it never asked for it.

How often do you retorque your BDS UCA’s or any other non OEM UCA? Asking because it has been about 5000-7000 miles since I checked mine and I only did because I heard some clunking when leaving my driveway or uneven surfaces. I rechecked the torque of the UCA bolts and had to tighten them quite...

Ok so not to sound uneducated about bushings but the endlink bolted to the sway bar should be moving around the outside of the bushing right? Reason for the zerk fitting for greasing but the end link when I move the truck up and down seems to show the bushing moving around the bolt and the...

I’m running the bds 6 in coilover kit

So I installed the core 4x4 rear end links this weekend but noticed after riding around for a day I heard some squeaking from the top bushing that’s bolted to the frame. Is there supposed to be a washer between the bushing and the frame? I also torqued them down to 65 ftlbs per core 4x4 but is...

Installed the core 4x4 rear end links. Question, do I need to also install a washer on the top bushing between the frame? I only did it on the side facing outward? No instructions came with the links.

Emailed Korby at Core 4x4 and he said that the extra 1 inch should not cause any issues. Let's see how they look after this weekend.
