    Are there any solutions to keep the mud and debris out of the uniball? I saw someone on here who said he dust covers of some kind. Is this necessary?? After only a small mud run I noticed mine were covered in mud and this can't be good over time.

    It's a pretty well built joint. Don't leave the mud and crap on there, and get some sprayable TriFlow Dry lube....and you should be fine.

    If you really want- I think someone was talking about custom sewing some neoprene boots to go over the joints.

    I'm not going to worry about mine unless I start to develop issues...

    Its not gonna hurt it. I had concrete dry on top of my Uni's, and they are still in great shape. Mud, water, I have had it all on them, and they are good.
