    Talking to Matthew at mcm he suggested I buy some moog replacement lbj. Don't think it will be a problem for me since I'm primarily using it for crawling. Some speed but mostly crawling

    Yea..but you HAVE to run there spindle with it...so it's like a 2k upgrade or something stupid for a lower uniball. Which wears out faster and will need replaced more often.

    Why do you say it will wear out more often?

    They just do. Heims and uniballs wear faster. It's an exposed joint vs a rubber sealed ball joint in grease.

    30-50k vs 80-100k

    Yeah I guess that's a good point I didn't think about.

    But when a LBJ fails it's not typically the Ball joint that fails, it's the 4 bolts holding it together.

    Only had the bolts fail me one..and joints twice haha

    That's just a pre and post trip check to make. Plus once they are torqued with red locktite it's usually fine.

    Besides..still just 4 bolts that hold the uniball on..

    Well if you've had the joint go twice I'd think you would be in the other corner and be pro unibals hah :)

    haha yea, but after really looking into it..they aren't worth the extra cost and hassle. If maintained properly, LBJs are just fine.
