What should be done after an ICON suspension system is installed?
After an ICON suspension system installation is completed it is recommended to get an alignment. The added lift height may change the alignment characteristics of the vehicle and if not addressed could possibly wear tires prematurely. After about 500
What should be done prior to installing an ICON Suspension System?
ICON highly recommends recording baseline measurements of your vehicle prior to installation. Measuring fender to hub measurements on all four corners is a great way to understand how much lift your vehicle is receiving over stock with our systems. O
Will an ICON suspension system void my vehicle warranty?
No, ICON suspension systems will not void OEM factory warranties. There are cases were specific dealerships may have their own internal policies to avoid working on vehicles with aftermarket components, or may choose to reserve the right to not warra
I’m attempting to grease the ICON Delta Joint UCA’s but the joint is not taking grease?
The grease grooves in the ball joint are similar to the stitching on a baseball. There are some spots where the the grease channel is not accessible in the position the ball joint is installed. ICON recommends turning the wheel either way and attempt
Can I run a spacer/shim on top and ICON coilover to get more lift?
No. ICON coilovers are designed to provide that maximum travel for the intended application. Adding a spacer between the ICON coilover and the factory mounting point will allow the suspension components to over extend and potentially cause damage to
Can I run extended travel coilovers with the stock upper control arms?
No, the extended travel coil overs are designed to give more down travel. This additional travel is more than the factory upper control arm ball joint is capable of achieving. Running a factory upper control arm on an extended travel coil over may ca
Do ICON UCA’s provide more caster and camber?
ICON upper control arm kits are designed to correct alignment on lifted vehicles by adding additional caster to keep the wheels within the factory alignment range. Camber remains unchanged and your vehicle will still fall within the factory camber al
What’s the difference between uniball upper control arms and Delta Joint upper control arms?
The Delta Joint is a heavy duty high angle ball joint that combines the durability of a ball joint with the performance characteristics of a traditional uniball. While the industry standard uniball does a great job of allowing the control arms of a v
Does ICON make Delta Joint upgrade kits for other manufactures upper control arms?
Yes, ICON engineers developed versions of the ICON Delta Joint to work with Non-ICON 1” uniball upper control arms. The Non-ICON UCA Delta Joints retrofit into industry standard WSSX16, AWX16, WC16, WE16, WSSB16, WR16, ABW16 uniballs with a 2.125" ou
Will ICON suspension systems interfere with adaptive cruise control?
No, ICON suspension components are compatible with adaptive cruise control and will not interfere with its functionality or performance.
Can ICON Delta Joints work in after market lower control arms?
No. The ICON Delta Joint were designed and tested to be used in upper control arms. Aftermarket lower control arms will not accept ICON Delta Joints.
How often do Delta Joints require to be greased?
The ICON Delta Joint is a greaseable patented joint that should be greased every 3,000-5,000 miles or, depending on your vehicle, every oil change.
What makes ICON different from other manufacturers?
When developing suspension components for a new vehicle, ICON takes a different approach than many others. Rather than focusing in on one particular part, ICON engineers look at the vehicle as a whole, identify inherent strengths and weaknesses, and
Can I upgrade my current kit to a higher stage?
Yes, all ICON stage kits are modular and can be upgraded from lower stages. Most applications can be upgraded by adding components and/or upgrading existing components. Feel free to contact ICON Sales, (951) 689-ICON, for more details as to what will
What grease is recommended for ICON upper control arms?
ICON recommends a National Lubricating Grease Institute grade 2 molybdenum disulfide fortified grease for Delta Joints (NLGI #2 EXTREME PRESSURE GREASE WITH MOLY). Super Lube Multi-Purpose (NLGI #2 MULTI-PURPOSE SYNTHETIC GREASE W/SYNCOLON (PTFE)) /
