Ebay Upper control arms

Came across these on ebay. They use uniball joint. Anyone have them? 250 bucks

I would keep away from the noname stuff.

 

There's another thread that keeps getting trashed, but nobody actually has any real answers. I put an email into the seller to ask who the manufacturer is. Time will tell unless somebody pulls the trigger and tries em out

 

Try em! If your UCA snaps in half and you die in a fiery explosion of awe we'll know not to buy them

 

I was the one who started other thread. Im still buying stuff for my truck and they are on the list.

 

i'll keep my proven total chaos uca's but will sub to hear how this goes

 

I'm sure these Chinese knock offs are perfectly safe and reliable. I bet the Quality Control and welds are as good as the stuff that is American made and I would definitely risk my life using these. It's not like the UCA's are all that important in safe steering of our trucks ....

i find it interesting that the vendor seems to advertise these as a uca for lifting and/or leveling your truck. when the advertised intent of a products use is confused by the sender selling them i'm even more convinced they're garbage.

 

Dirt King, TC, Budbuilt, Icon or bust.

There are other factors that come into play here. Quality of the uniball, quality of the metal being used to build the tubing, quality of the welds and gusseting or lack thereof that concerns me about getting a UCA like this one.

Probably fine , " Made in the USA " doesn't really mean that much anymore

 

pics or it didnt happen


forreal though:

you spent thousands of dollars on your truck, don't put some cheap-ass aftermarket garbage on it

 

Frontiers and Titans are built off the same frame. The Titan just receives beefier suspension pieces is all.

 

That's why titans are trash. I had the privilige driving one for a year..

The old saying goes you get what you pay for. They may be perfectly fine or they may fail on your first big bash. I trust my Icons would you trust no name Ebay brand... Nay for me.

 

I thought everthing was the same except they narrowed and shortenned the frame..

 

Exactly. I would rather stick to my upper brand name Dirt King LCA/UCA's and my SAW coilovers. At least I know that if the products fail at some point there is a large support group and service behind them, and that they are tried, true and tested to handle godly amounts of abuse.

Same exact thing frame for frame. They just add larger body pieces and lift it to give the illusion that you are indeed purchasing a full size, beefier truck.

 

Always question chinese knock off products, you have to wonder the quality of steel, tolerances, and welds…. if they break there will be more than $250 worth of damage..
Also Camburgs are made in USA!!!

 

I got an email from them yesterday replying to my question about who they are made by and where they are manufactured. They said they, (Freedom Suspension) are the manufacturers and they are located in Beverly Hills, CA.
