uniballs in the PNW

who's running uniballs? do you love them or hate them?

it seems like wet climates might be a better fit for a sealed ball joint, but I'm open to perspectives?

my stock LBJ+LCA bushings are going out, so it's time to think about a plan for a full overhaul.

 

I had total chaos arms and they became increasingly difficult to keep quiet after a couple of winters. I vote sealed balljoint. A lot of balljoint arm designs these days don't lose you much function comparatively.

 

Is dirt king the only option with that?

 

Dirt king, camburg, OME (I have these) are all good options and still provide high angle. People also like JBA and I forgot the other one that just like JBA, I’m not into that style, however.

 

Running total chaos for 2+ years now. They’ve been fine but I’m pretty ocd about cleaning them after every trip.

make sure to clean out any sitting water, spray them with ptfe lube after every wash, grease the zerks every 5-10k

i picked up some jbas a while back but just lazy to switch em out

 

I run camburg ball joint UCAs for the reduced maintenance required in the rain. Uniball didn’t seem worth the hassle to me up here on a truck that’s still a DD.

 

i decided to go with dirt king LCAs, thanks all!
