Anyone installed generic eBay UCA

These look like they are very similar to total chaos, but a lot cheaper. Does anyone have any experience? They have very good eBay feedback.

 

I have no experience, but I'd be leery of anything that holds the front wheels on my truck coming from a no name company on ebay.

 

You get what you pay for.

 

First thing I notice is...no gussets.

 

Looks can be deceiving.

 

$76 shipping…might as well just get LR UCA at that point.

 

This.

 

If that uca fails on the freeway or offroad miles from no where your going to hate your life. Its an important part of the suspension. Best not to go cheap.

 

True story. Just noticed that.

 

There are stuff that can be had on ebay that is safe, but suspension components are definitely not ebay worthy.

 

Shipping is free to the US, $76 shipping was to my canadian address. As for the quality of these I dont see much different than other brands so I can't see how they would fail.

LR UCA's are $175 more and they use standard ball joints, not uniballs.

I think I may try them, I don't put a lot of miles on my truck or use it for long trips/off roading. I just want my alignment to be in spec.

I used to offroad a bit, but recently my truck just takes me to and from work. I have also sold my mud tires and put on some AT's. Just trying to get a factory feeling ride back.

 

let us know how it goes.

 

Nope!

 

I am wondering if they are on the other side, I asked the ebay seller, just waiting on a response.

 

When the upper control arm breaks. The wheel will pull away from the vehical and will rip the steering, Cv and everything else out. It was also pivot and cause major body damage and thats if you dont loose control and hit a car or another vehical.

 

Just did a quick search "on the line" and ( Google NOT Bing ) found these are not just on eBay !

Finding them on many other sites right along side LR, Camburg and TC ! ! !

 

That makes me feel better. I should sell my Icon ucas for those.

 

HAHA it is a pretty bold statement!

 

Can you provide links? I didn't see them anywhere else

 

Ive seen a light racing snap and it wasnt good and that was at 5 miles an hour maybe less.
