    Home Depot and Lowes should have it as well if that's easier.

    Buddy sent me a pic of an lr totally breaking on a 4 runner. At the time when I purchased lr is all I could afford.

    After my crawl box is done being installed this week this may be my next purchase. Just want some opinions on icon uniballs

    I saw a thread with tons of votes and 80% of them were for total chaos.. Icon didn't have many votes but I'm guessing that's because not many people have icon control arms.. Anyways I decided on total chaos lol..
    Also read something about allpro copying camburg but the funny thing is camburg copied total chaos.. Lol.

    I say wait for uni ball if you don't have to wait too much longer. But that's me.

    They aren't well known or used thats for sure. Probably do great though. IF they made the dust cover for 1st gen ones id say get them. Sadly, 2nd gen option only i believe.

    Is there anything wrong with your lr uca's, or are you just switching cause of a picture? Just curious, but honestly I'd imagine that the chances of them breaking are pretty slim. Do you know the conditions they broke under?

    Personally for someone anywhere road salt/chemicals are used I'd want a sealed style ball joint. Even with regular maintenance the uni ball is going to wear out pretty quickly just from all the junk on the roads.

    Not sure I'm going to switch. Wanted people's opinion who's ran them. I've been happy with my LR.

    I switched from Icon to TC before even running my Icon UCA's. I love Icons stuff but the way they designed the UCA is strange. It is designed to be a straight bolt on UCA without any pressing. The bolts kind of pull the whole thing together in the spindle. I could not for the life of me get the driver side installed without stripping the bolt/spindle adapter. And Icon wanted $110 for the part. I ended up getting rid of them in a trade and got some TC UCA's. Not sure if it was just bad luck or what. I love my TC UCA's though.
