Then go icon. The digressive valving will greatly benefit you.

Ha, those have been on Craigslist for three years now. Must not be motivated to sell them, they've only dropped $50 in three years.

 

Ive seen them on and off.. was just doing my weekly craigslist search, and saw them pop up

 

I know those are $1200 new but he needs to come down to around $600 to move them, they are pretty well used.

 

probably needs new hardware

 

Looks like the heims and uniballs are still perfectly fine to me. would need closer inspection in person of course, but they definitely don't look half priced used. I've seen much more used stuff than that go for near full price on here before.

Maybe folks don't understand heim joints????

 

I don't. The biggest benefit is the added strength?

 

I think its able to super fine tune ?

 

Nope. additional articulation of the entire uca. Plus they are fully adjustable for truly dialing in your alignment. see how they have threads going in to the arm? those can be threaded in or out to help with adjustments

 

I have a brand new set here that I would love to get rid of. I don't move them too often and I ordered one to many.

 

Who knew! Thanks for teaching me a little something

 

More useless knowledge that rattles around in my head.

 

Now it can rattle around mine

Yup. And, I know the owner selling on CL. Great guy who is honest/I doubt these need rebuilding. One thing I would also add to this (specific to trailing arms) is that although heims provide a huge spectrum of articulation it is limited by the rest of your suspension. The threaded sleeve (steel) going into an aluminum bar makes for instant corrosion issues (dissimilar metals). Also, the threads are prone to wearing down and eventually failing. UCA heims wouldn't have this problem as much as trailing arms that have a lot of pressure pushing/pulling.
