Ebay UCA?

Saw those the other day and was very interested. Then I saw that they don't make them for first gens. I'm just not sold on the uniball. Seems too exposed to me. Don't have much choice though.

 

check out the spc arms. high angle greasable ball joint.

 

I actually have these on my rig been running them for 2 years now had to replace the bushings but the ones I bought were 300 on ebay and have gussets on them there surprisingly pretty solid believe it or not definitely a rip off of total chaos

 

I thought about the El Cheap-o UCAs, then I thought about how much my truck cost, how important it is to me/what I do with it, and figured the extra couple hundred for a brand name was kind of a no brainer for me.

I KNOW not only are the bushings/uniballs on my TC UCAs top notch, but I know the materials used for the arms themselves weren't skimped on. WHo knows what the hell material those chinese knockoffs are made of...

And yes, I realize I have the really expensive total chaos, but that's not what I originally intended: I wanted Camburgs which were a good $100+ cheaper, but they were out of stock for the foreseeable future, and what's another $100 between friends (I mean customer/retailer)... lol

 

Not that I've tested it, but I read somewhere that BJs actually have higher angles that uni-balls anyway, so the angle isn't the limiting factor. It's more about the geometry of the arms (correcting for lifts) and the durability that make uni-balls "better".

If you're going to beat on it, get uni's, if it's a daily driver, gravel road truck, get the BJs...

 

Buy once cry once I'm still learning lol

 

I heard a lot of the FJ cruisers guys have them and they put quite a beating on them. And rebuild them with total chaos bushings
