Camburg CAM-010109 UCA Bushing Pivot Washer Kit for Camburg Tubular Upper Control Arms

The Camburg CAM-010109 UCA Bushing Pivot Washer Kit gives you the exact zinc-plated washers used in Camburg tubular upper control arm assemblies, sold as a complete set for a pair of arms. When pivot washers wear, score, or get lost during a rebuild, this kit gets your Camburg UCAs back to spec without hunting for mismatched hardware. These are genuine Camburg components engineered specifically for their tubular bushing-style upper control arms.

What's Included

• Zinc-plated bushing pivot washers for a pair of Camburg tubular upper control arms (8 washers total)

Compatibility

This kit is designed for use with Camburg tubular bushing-style upper control arms. These washers are not OEM fitment items and are not designed for factory upper control arms. They are replacement components for Camburg UCAs only. Confirm your Camburg UCA part number uses polyurethane pivot bushings before ordering.

Product Specifications

Why Pivot Washers Matter

The bushing pivot washers in a Camburg tubular UCA sit on either side of the polyurethane pivot bushings along the through bolt. They distribute clamping load evenly across the bushing face, prevent direct metal-to-metal contact, and allow the bushing to rotate correctly as the suspension cycles. Worn, scored, or missing pivot washers cause uneven bushing wear, binding, and accelerated deterioration of the bushing itself. Replacing them at rebuild time is cheap insurance that extends the service life of your entire bushing assembly.

When to Replace Your Pivot Washers

Use this pivot washer kit any time you rebuild your Camburg tubular UCAs, replace your polyurethane bushings, or service the pivot sleeves. If the washers show scoring, corrosion pitting, or deformation from overtorque, replace them. Camburg recommends greasing the polyurethane bushings every 5,000 to 8,000 miles or two to three times per year depending on use, and that service interval is an ideal time to inspect pivot washer condition.

Installation Notes

Pivot washers install on both faces of each polyurethane bushing along the UCA through bolt. Four washers go on each arm, for eight total per pair. Apply bushing grease to the washer faces that contact the bushing before assembly. Torque the M14 through bolt to 85 ft-lbs using red Loctite on the nyloc nut threads per Camburg's installation specification. Do not reuse a nyloc nut that has been removed. Refer to your specific Camburg UCA installation sheet for your vehicle and arm model for complete torque specs and assembly sequence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Camburg CAM-010109 kit?
This is a set of zinc-plated bushing pivot washers designed for use with Camburg tubular bushing-style upper control arms. The kit covers a pair of arms and includes 8 washers total.

What vehicles does this pivot washer kit fit?
This is a Camburg-specific replacement part that fits any Camburg tubular bushing-style UCA application. It is not a vehicle-specific OEM part. Verify that your Camburg arm model uses polyurethane pivot bushings before ordering.

How many washers are in the kit?
The kit includes washers for a pair of upper control arms, with four washers per arm, for a total of eight zinc-plated pivot washers.

What finish are the washers?
The washers are zinc plated for corrosion resistance.

When should I replace my Camburg pivot washers?
Replace them any time you rebuild the UCA bushing assembly, replace the polyurethane bushings, or if the existing washers show scoring, pitting, or deformation. Inspect them at each bushing greasing interval.

Do I need to replace the bushing kit at the same time?
Not necessarily. If your polyurethane bushings are in good condition, replacing only the pivot washers is fine. However, if you are pulling the arms off for a full rebuild, replacing bushings, pivot sleeves, and washers together at the same time is the most efficient approach.

What grease should I use with Camburg pivot bushings?
Camburg recommends a high-temp, waterproof PTFE-based grease such as Super Lube for the polyurethane bushings. Apply grease to the pivot sleeve OD and the bushing faces, including the washer contact faces, during assembly.

What torque spec applies to the UCA through bolt?
Camburg specifies 85 ft-lbs on the M14 nyloc nut with red Loctite applied to the threads. Always refer to your specific Camburg arm installation sheet for your vehicle and arm model for confirmed torque specifications.

Does this kit include bushings or grease?
No. This kit includes only the zinc-plated pivot washers. Bushings, pivot sleeves, grease packets, and zerk fittings are sold separately in Camburg's UCA Bushing and Sleeve Kit for your specific vehicle platform.
