    does anyone know how wide the UCA's should be? measuring from the uniball end to the bushing end.

    so the reason why these aftermarket UCA's fix the caster is because they are shorter than the stock UCA's thus pulling the top half of the wheel back in after a lift???


    the older camburg UCA's weren't shorter than the stock tacoma UCA's??

    I dont remember the dimensions they are for the first gens. The uniball will be set further twards the rear of the truck to correct for caster....I think 2" or so...

    I might be a bit late to the show, but I just bought a set of the Camburg ball-joint based UCA's for $360 shipped. I was going to go with a uni-ball based arm, but for the little my truck will be going offroad I thought going with TC's would be overkill for what I need. I should add that I am not reusing the ball-joints from my stock arms, but I bought new Moog ball-joints for $90 for the set. Here is a picture with all the gear I am installing:

    are the camburgs with the uni-ball comparable to the TC's?

    pretty much the same?

    talked with Scott at Camburg this morning and he isn't sure what you are referring to with the "older" style UCA's. he said that the uniball UCA's were designed to correct the caster and give more travel and the geometry hasn't changed with them...


    so i am pretty sure i got what i was looking for and he will be sending me new slugs and threw in new bolts, nuts and decals for free!

    after i take care of some chipped paint these things will be looking brand new... all for 350 and some beer when my buddy helps me install them :cool:

    Where did you find them for $360 shipped? And I didn't realize they expect you to reuse the stock ball joint.

    they have two choices, you can use the uni ball or get the cheaper priced one's with the stock ball joint.

    And since most people end up buying new ball joints for them, I still dont see the value.
    360 + 180 = $540.00......for a bit more, you can have uniballs, already installed. :confused:

    I think that it was $90 for the pair of ball joints, but your are paying for a maintainence and noise free joint. For a primarily street vehicle, ball joints are a better choice.
