ICON Vehicle Dynamics GM 1500 Tubular UCA Replacement Bushing and Sleeve Kit

The ICON Vehicle Dynamics Tubular UCA Replacement Bushing and Sleeve Kit restores the inner pivots of ICON tubular front upper control arms on 2007–2018 GM 1500 based vehicles, returning worn pivot points to like-new condition. The kit services one pair of ICON tubular front upper control arms and is also compatible with the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LD when equipped with ICON UCA kit part number 78600 or 78600DJ.

Genuine ICON Parts, Exact Fit

Because this kit uses genuine ICON Vehicle Dynamics original parts, the bushings and sleeves match the tolerances of the original tubular UCA design exactly. Aftermarket substitutes often differ in durometer or outer diameter, which can introduce slop or binding at the inner pivot. This kit is built to the original specification to avoid those problems.

Polyurethane and CNC Steel Construction

The application-specific polyurethane hat bushings resist compression set better than rubber, maintaining consistent pivot feel over repeated suspension cycles. The CNC machined steel sleeves are zinc plated for corrosion resistance, which matters on a component that lives inside a control arm pivot exposed to road spray and seasonal moisture.

• Complete set: includes all bushings and sleeves for one pair of ICON tubular front UCAs
• Genuine ICON parts: original-specification components, not aftermarket substitutes
• Polyurethane hat bushings: application-specific formulation for consistent pivot feel
• CNC machined steel sleeves: zinc plated for corrosion resistance

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

This kit suits owners of 2007–2018 GM 1500 based vehicles (or 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LD) who have already installed ICON tubular front upper control arms and need to replace worn inner pivot bushings and sleeves to restore handling precision.

This kit does not fit stock GM factory upper control arms, ICON ball-joint style UCAs, or any UCA part number other than 78600, 78600DJ, 78601, and 78601DJ. It does not include the control arms themselves.

Common Questions

Does this kit include the upper control arms?

No. The ICON Tubular UCA Replacement Bushing and Sleeve Kit includes only the polyurethane hat bushings and CNC machined steel sleeves needed to rebuild the inner pivots of one pair of already-installed ICON tubular front upper control arms. The control arms are sold separately.

Which ICON upper control arm part numbers does this kit service?

This bushing and sleeve kit is designed for ICON tubular front upper control arms with part numbers 78600, 78600DJ, 78601, and 78601DJ. It is not compatible with other ICON UCA designs or factory GM control arms.

Is this kit compatible with the 2019 Silverado 1500?

The ICON Tubular UCA Replacement Bushing and Sleeve Kit is compatible with the 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LD only when that truck is equipped with ICON UCA kit part number 78600 or 78600DJ. It does not apply to the 2019 Silverado 1500 with factory control arms or other UCA kits.

Why use polyurethane bushings instead of rubber?

The polyurethane hat bushings in this kit resist compression set better than rubber, which helps maintain consistent pivot feel and reduces slop at the inner pivot over time. ICON specifies this formulation for the tubular UCA design to preserve the handling characteristics the arms were built to deliver.
