Problem: Something is misaligned / tilted where the "wishbone" connects to the body on the RR side.
After going through 3 factory units, I decided to get Rock Iron's replacement upgrade, using WW Diesel's differential bracket. Both are well built and very beefy!
During the installation I noted that the right side connection at the body looked tilted, but thought maybe it needed to self adjust.
Well, after several months, it still doesn't seat properly and is quite tilted (see attached photos).
I took several measurements to see what the problem might be. I couldn't come to a consensus on the problem.
Things I checked: Body bracket: apparent issues could be seen. Rock Iron has nothing bent that I could assess.
I did various measurements and could not come up with any thing other than POSSIBLY the bracket that is factory welded to the body was misaligned somehow. This appears to be the only real answer, but yet does not seem likely.
I'm very sure it has nothing to do with the Rock Iron wishbone or the WW Diesel's differential bracket, as all previous factory UCA's behaved the same way as is noted in one photo (all the rubber is worn off after only 1 year). The other side showed only signs of normal wear.
This is the RR that is quite tilted.
