Snapped something

[gbrown27]

I was pulling into a parking spot like normal and I heard something snap and my truck hunched over to the side so I got out and saw this...any idea on how much damage this is?

Probably new upper control arm and spindle aka (knuckle) is needed. Might be simple and just a upper ball joint though u never know till u tear into it.

Looks like you need a new upper control arm to me. What company makes that UCA?

Looks like just the pin snapped. Hit up Rpg for some new ones and done. Or did the uniball go too? It's hard to tell from the pic


Just the pin. No worries.

Call RPG and Corey will take care of you. This happened to me also. If your pins where the reddish color

then those were recalled. RPG will replace them for you.
Believe me when I say, you are VERY lucky it happened where it did and not that much damage was done. Your going to have to replace the other side also.
This is what could have happened.

Makes you realize the importance of your UCA's and pins

Yes it does. When mine broke, I lost all braking and the steering was gone. Luckily I was on a good road and only doing about 35 or 40 but I was headed over the edge and was able to force it into the ditch.
As you can see the only thing that was holding the wheel on was the abs sensor line.

Like everyone said, it looks like just the pin broke. That is the best case scenario for this kind of issue.

FYI the first thing RPG will ask is how tight you torqued that bolt. It loooks to have snapped from the head so that is normally an indication of too high of torque. That may not be the case, and I am not accusing you of anything, but it is good to have all the info when calling.
