    I was doing a front end overhaul and found both bolts that attach the UCa to the knuckle bent. Also I swapped out knuckles as part of the refresh and the lower spacer from total chaos was totally seized in the knuckle. So.... I'll be calling total chaos Monday to try to get some new spacers / bolts. Are any of the other UCA designs better for this sort of load. Ie 1.25" uniballs or the shorter fasteners found in the icon and pro comp arms?

    in what way were they bent in relation to the spindle?

    like PSU stated it could be a matter of needing limit straps as you are trying to extend pass the limit of articulation the uniball allows for.
