Q: Can I replace this ball joint myself?
If you are comfortable working on suspension, replacing the pill in the FUCA is a manageable job with the right tools, since it is a designed service item for that arm. If you would rather have it done, and you are local to Los Angeles, our Hawthorne team can handle it and check your alignment afterward. Either way, plan to realign the car once the joint is replaced.

Just installed the Unplugged Performance Rear Sway Bar on my Cyberbeast in my carport. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the bar itself is solid with a perfect fit, everything lined up exactly as it should.

The Unplugged Performance Model Y Perfect Flush Fitment Kit is indeed PERFECT! I was so pleased with the results of this kit and I even have slightly larger tires than the OEM setup (mine are F: 275/35/21 and R: 295/35/21) and the fitment looks awesome! Kirk at Unplugged Performance was super...

Installed the moderate lowering springs on my ‘26 AWD Y using the original shocks. The ride is noticeably firmer but still comfortable with the majority of the body roll removed which is what I really wanted. It is still not as stiff as a legacy model Y. Alignment is out of factory spec now as...

This kit gave me the confidence to do part of the WA BDR with some friends (including Bethel Ridge!) with my Model Y Juniper AWD. Pairs really well with 255/55-18 wheels and AT tires for an extra 0.5in clearance. I'd Also really recommend aluminum skid plates and coolant line guards, depending on...
