    I'd go UB UCA's. My Camburg UCA's have been phenomenal. My original uniballs have had to be replaced last fall. I bought and used a 1" uniball press from All German Motorsports and it was simple. The uniballs lasted 60k miles. (They were way loose and not intended to go that long.)

    FK Uniballs have a static radial load rating of 90,000 lbs and are extremely strong. Part# is (AIN-16T) With a rating like that, there are lots of things that will fail first with those kinds of loads on a mostly stock vehicle. You're looking at $100 every few years for maintenance with uniballs. My first set of uniballs were a bit noisy. When I replaced them, they didn't have FK stamped on them like the new ones did. They may not have used FK way back. The FK's have been ghost fart quiet for 6 months with absolutely nothing done by me as far as lube goes.

    Check out the JBA UCAs. They are high castor Moog ball. There has been a lot of talk about them in other threads.
