    Continuation of the UCA Polls. This one only takes into account the Camburg UCAs that have the balljoint, not the Uniball.

    None - Light wheeling = 20% and under time off-road.
    Moderate - Heavy wheeling = Anything over 20% time off-road.
    Broken or Replaced = They failed on their own and not due to accidental/intentional damage. (nicking with an angle grinder, highway accident, voodoo curses)

    Since the last one got so much attention, I'm doing a similar one for the other UCAs. Here's the LR UCA poll. (I forgot to add >50k option in the LR version, sorry) And the Total Chaos UCA Poll.

    Please share your specific experience in the comments below.

    60k miles, lots of off road and lots of winter salt.

    no issue, I have to lube them when they squeak and also grease them using the zerk fittings.

    Good to know. I'm hoping these three polls will lead people in the right direction.

    How about you include All Pro in your polls? With out a doubt one of the best control arms on the market.

    Didn't consider those. I'll have to add them when I can get to a computer. Can't do it from a phone.

    FYI, I have changed the ball bearings and sleeves this spring on my UCAs

    So expect 60k miles if you live in the worst road salt conditions.
