    Based on what was posted, these higher quality uniballs could be an upgrade for those needing to replace theirs.

    Seeing Camburg gets $60 each ($120 / pair), would a fair price on these, which would retail at close to $400 per pair be good at around $110 per pair shipped?

    Planning to reinvest this money back into other parts for the Tacoma.

    $55 wssx16t spherical bearing with teflon, 1" (1-3/8 wide), 1 pack
    wssx16t is going for $43 retail per ball (1" ball).

    Camburg has a 1-1/4" uniball not 1".

    Some Camburgs use 1".

    If I am able to move these, the money is planned for a Camburg Spindles and UCA.

    I'll remove my existing setup of Camburg UCA with ball joints and a pair of TC gusseted spindles.

    These uniballs, based on the info, are a superior part, should cost a lot more, but could be a nice upgrade with longer life and no rust. Then again, maybe not if people have no interest.

    I've had a thread on here for years covering it.

    Very simple to do.

    Put new balls in freezer overnight.

    Remove spring clip.

    Press out ball.

    Press in New ball.

    Insert spring Clip.

    And be careful with the spring clips. I wasn't paying attention and one "sprung" out during removal. Took me more time to find it then swap balls.

    Not that bad at all used my vise and the press out tool they sent popped right out and went in pretty easy. Thanks for the help.

    Icon uses a COM bearing, which is a low carbon steel 521000.
    Chaos uses a WSSX stainless 440c

    FK wssx series bearings in my opinion are the best.
