Uca Help

The more colors under your front fender the better. Attracts women like fish to a lure.

In all seriousness though... I've been running TC uniballs for about 50,000 miles and I'm overdue for a rebuild. My bushings are warped on one side even though i grease them with the thru bolt loose. I douse the uniball in dry teflon lube before every drive to keep them from squeaking. Overall they work great and look good but the maintenance aspect sucks. When i rebuild them i will definitely be putting that UCA bolt in backwards and using a lock-nut or something. For whatever reason the clearances on my truck seem to be less than normal and it was almost impossible to get out. TC's are overkill for what I do, and probably are for anyone who isn't running their truck out in the desert hard every weekend.

If i were to do it again i would go with the SPC UCA's. In my opinion the polymer bushings and sleeve design found in so many aftermarket UCA's is kind of a cheesy design and inferior to the stock style. I get why it is used so much (simple, inexpensive, increased articulation) but i feel that the SPC's bushings are the best alternative to stock. I see lots of people running them so shops must be able to align them without too much trouble. They have the widest adjustment range for castor, plenty of increased articulation and a removable/greaseable ball joint. They are also a great value and have a stock-like appearance. When you put design, function, value, reliability and maintenance all together i think they are probably the best UCA on the market. A huge caveat though is that i don't have any personal experience with them.

If JBA adopted similar pivot bushings i would go with them. I like the simplicity of built in castor and their removable ball joint is really slick. However as the design is now they use poly bushings like everyone else.

The best thing about the SPC is that you can still get an alignment after your cams seize..

 

How do you like those sway bar links? Are they the ones from someone on here?

 

I love them, they are AllPro. Almost 8years old. Great product, probably will outlast the truck. Someone else is building their own type on here. They look pretty HD.

 

Ya I thought they were the ones from the guy on here.

In considering them for both the adjusted length and they're probably a bit more reliable to take on and off than the factory links

Any noticable performance difference

 

They dont bend like the stock ones.

 

The new design is a single piece...
