    Looks like they're now expanding in the suspension game after the acquisition of SAW. Their other Tacoma products (intake, etc) have a good reputation. I wonder how they will fair in the UCA segment.

    I have no connection/experience in this specific item/product. Just found it while browsing.

    I wonder if the techs will be able to figure it out? Either way I think the being fully adjustable might make home alignments much easier.

    Yeah, looks like a decent design - adjustability of heim inner joints with the weather resistance of flex joints. On-vehicle camber adjustment is nice (and easier to do with precision than SPC's slot):

    I had the same thought, I like the concept but I'm in the salt belt and those threads wouldn't last. Plus I didn't see zerks to grease the bushings

    Why? Flex joints usually have forged housings. Tie rods on solid axle vehicles use similar style pinch bolts to lock threaded sleeves, and those see much higher loads than inner UCA joints.
