    Your going to get a lot of different answers based on people's different preferences. From what I understand (and I'm sure I'll be corrected) is that uniball is stronger but requires more maintenance and more prone to corrosion. Ball joint requires less maintenance, less likely to corrode but not as strong as uniball. As for TC vs Camburg. Pick your poison. I bought Total Chaos to replace my JBA UCAs so if your interested in a slightly used set of JBA let me know.

    I loved the JBA. I love the concept of them. I wish I could keep them but the support brace for the ball joint sticks out. I just bought larger tires and the backspacing on my wheels isn't enough so the tires are rubbing against them at full lock. The total chaos are a little more low profile so I'm hoping by switching to those it will solve my problem. Otherwise I will have to get spacers.

    How did the TC effect your alignment versus the adjustable JBA ones? Were you still able to get good alignment numbers?

    Asking for a friend... :anonymous:

    So I got 2.5 degrees of positive caster which was enough that my tires wouldn't rub on the fender anymore. In fact I have to trim my front fender liner a little bit now because when slightly turned they scathe the liner.
