how long do UCA's last?

How long do they last?
Do the bushings tear at 100k? If so, might as well replace the whole arm, right? Because the ball joint is not separately replaceable.

Is everyone just using eBay/Amazon replacement units at ~$50 per arm?

 

But the upper ball joint is replaceable?

 

I mean they wear out when they wear out? I've 230k upper control arms in just fine shape. I use rock Auto, cause it's cheaper and they are pretty accurate.

 

wow is it? I always heard it's built into the arm and can't be separately replaced.
In that case I'll look up bushing part numbers + new joints and see what's cheaper,

and whether it's worth the labor time of refurbishing old arms
vs just replacing the whole thing

I'm guessing if putting new parts (bushings, etc.) they will be higher quality
whereas if buying a whole arm cheap online, well, there's a reason it's cheap
and if ~$60/ea with China stamped on it, the bushings and joints may not be as good as say, Moog or something

 

I just took mine off at 35k for my new lift. Are you in CA? You can have both for the price of one

 

just SPC
