Best UCA’s??

I don’t think you can go wrong with any of the suggestions stated so far. Only thing I know is my JBA’s. Love em. Bought a spare ball joint that I keep in the truck, it’s a really easy swap. Haven’t had to use it yet but I like the setup.

 

As long as you don't live anywhere with winter uni balls are rad.

 

And the fan boyz chime in. Sometimes I wonder if most people on here are sales agents for the various vendors. It’s fine to recommend a product if you take the time to explain why.

JBA Offroad

 

35,000 miles in one year! Wow

 

Km, I forget most of this site works in bidens and bald eagles

 

K is an abbreviation for 1,000.

 

Yes but 35k as in 35000 kilometers not miles

 

I'll be switching out my SPC ...ball joints don't last ...JBA here I come

 

Bidens and bald eagles! Yes

 

Yeah, anywhere with road salt you want to stay away from uniballs and/or exposed heim joints. I use total chaos on my Lexus.

 

I have had JBA's on for a handful of years now and they have been good

 

Another downvote for SPC, been through 3 sets, enough was enough. The X-axis joints went out on mine, one time with zero wheeling and about 10k street miles. The manufacturing and tolerances are off - they sit sloppy sometimes in the shock buckets, and tightening them down pulls them together which puts a ton of strain on the x-axis bearings. Add in no sway bay setups and they blow out fast. Nice annoying clunking driving around.

For me, I went Accutune. They've been perfect for a year and 20k miles. I will be pulling them off for inspection as I add JDFab double shear setup to my UCA bolts.. I will probably add a drop of dry lube, but so far no squeaks yet.

JD Fab also makes a good set.
Dobinson's billet UCA's look nice as well.

 

I've had Icon Tubulars w/ Delta Joint for 4 years / 50k hard miles with zero issues. Grease them periodically and they will take care of you. Been rock crawling, "overlanding" across all the western US deserts, mudding, etc. Love them

 

You guys are talking about the older design SPC? The ones with zerks you grease?
The newer SPC UCA are much different

 

No, we are talking about the newer ones. They've gotten worse, not better.

 

guess I’ll have to get warranty on these then too down the road.

 

They were good about warrantying mine, paying for an alignment, etc but ultimately like I said I moved to Accutune arms. This last time, SPC sent me a replacement set of arms and I sold them.
