    Hey guys!
    Curious how y'all are maintaining your JBAs? How often/what are you using to grease them? I didn't get any paperwork back from the guy who installed them.

    Thanks!

    I pumped grease into the zerks every oil change for the first 2 or 3 intervals after installing them. I'm a little more lax on it now.

    Have any of you switched from Total Chaos to JBA? My uniballs sound like christmas bells again after being replaced once already and with routine maintenance.

    JBA's use full size Chevy truck ball joints. They can go for years without pumping more grease into them.

    Hate to spend the money on new UCA's but maybe I can recoup a little of the cost by selling the TC's.
