    What is the difference between these and the regular ones?
    Do they make less noise?
    Do they cost more?
    Do they require less maintanence or more Maintanence?

    They give you adjustability on the UCA, as opposed to all the adjustments being at the TRE's and LCA.

    I am still asking the same question 3 months later, and no one seems to have much experience with these yet. I know a heim joint is of better quality than urethane bushings and less maintenance.

    They are a new product, and I dont belive they are out yet. If they are like other Hiem joint UCA's, they are going to have adjustments on the hiems for camber, caster.

    I guess I must be missing something, cause I wonder how you could possibly adjust them when they're installed on the truck... :confused:
