    How often do you grease them ?
    Do you have the caps ?

    I've had mine on for 4 years and no problems , 40,000 miles

    I imagine he meant maintain.

    I know nothing about uniballs but looks like grease is no good for them. I guess they need to be lubed though

    I Tri-flow them every other if not once a week. My first pair lasted 8 months. This pair I have now I had almost a year. Mind you I was wheeling the piss out of my truck every other weekend for a while. I have maybe 16,000 miles on my UCAs and on my 2nd pair.

    @Explor Camburg does have ball joint UCAs if that's what you are referring to. I have the Uni-ball style.

    You are correct sir which is why I said that. Using a light film coating like that is fine. Uniballs and heims came from the racing side of things they aren't really going to last all that long compared to the std automotive joints.

    I grew up in Hickory NC.

    Are Uniballs really worth it without aftermarket LCAs?

    I have the Icons with their high flex ball joint, JBA make some and so does Camburg I think.

    The advantage of the uniball and high angle balljoint UCAs is getting the suspension out of a bind so it isn't fighting itself allowing you to get an alignment and get caster and camber into spec. There is probably some better suspension articulation just with the UCAs

    Total Choas makes 2 styles of stock length LCAs I think there are a couple other companies.

    Little update ,

    It's difficult to recommend one over the other without having a thorough understanding of how either of these will actually be used and how much abuse they will receive. In most off road racing environments, one would quickly choose the uniball, but under those conditions the uniball is regularly replaced, so they only need to last a few thousand miles, as full tear downs with close inspections are regularly performed. Ball joints, on the other hand, with their semi-sealed construction are able to withstand harsh road elements by shielding the critical parts with grease and boots, thus little to no maintenance is required and are more apt for daily drivers with occasional off road use. That is not to say that a uniball would be inadequate on a daily driver or a ball joint on an off road racer, but again, one would have to understand the limitations of the product being used and not exceed them while also adhering to some sort of maintenance regimen.
