    I need to replace my upper ball joints. I have SPC UCA with the adjustable ball joints. Any suggestions on replacements? I’ve read a few places saying spc ball joint aren’t any good.
    Any insight is appreciated.

    If you continue to use the spc arms, you have no other choice than to use the spc BJ replacements.

    SPC started using a new design on their ball joints about a year ago. It's a better design and is supposed to fix the early failure issues they were having. Just make sure you order the 35101 part number. The housings should be black instead of the silver they were previously. https://store.specprod.com/item/35101/REPLACEMENT-BALL-JOINT-KIT/
