Driving around with a noisy UCA/LCA wont cause problems short term right?
Will probably be anotehr month till I get them taken care of - but I'm getting all the standard noise from my passenger side - and when I replace them I plan to go full MOOG 1 piece arms, and replace both lower and uppers; doing it right the first time.
I have a ~450 mile round trip next week and was hoping to take my truck out camping... Nothing particularly bad will happen minus a little bit of odd tire wear that wont be noticeable on only 450 miles right? I don't want a wheel flying off or anything bad like that
Let me know! Just curious; the creaking sound gets a tad bit noisy when i'm turning in and out of my driveway.. lord only knows what it sounds like around town - my exhaust tends to drown it out.
Thanks ahead of time folks!
Edit:
For those interested in UCA/LCA, Greaseables, and Tie rods - this is what my purchase will be when I have the time for it in another month:

Yeah Mike....dude...you'll be okay I'd say. My driverside outer TRE has been making noise only at a certain angle and pitch of the truck while turning for the last like month and about 2k. Ever since the superlift, I've been running a bad lower...thats a good 35Kish. lol.
Need to get me some TRE's and FINALLY get me an alignment.

We will have to do some "Fix our squeek" mod days methinks! -laughs- I went down to Wilsonville and passed through I-84, was about to give you a call up - but ended up having to keep on heading back.. had to work that day at 3pm. Dropped off my sisters scooter.. let me tell you, when you get a lifted ranger that looks like mine, and you strap down a 75cc scooter in the back - it looks f'in funny -laughs-
