    My current UCA's are Camburg Uniballs and they're pretty much shot. I'm sick of hearing them rattle, and open window season is around the corner here in New England. I'm going to be ordering new UCA this week, and could use some suggestions. I don't do a whole lot of driving off paved roads, so i'm leaning towards balljoint UCAs. I am currently a student, so the relatively inexpensive tuff country options seem very appealing. Are they a POS? Please vote in the poll section of this thread. Thanks for the input everyone!

    I can get you an awesome deal on LR UCA's with full factory warranty if you want them brand new in the box.

    Why don't you just replace the uniball? Don't get anything that day ruff country.

    The UCA arm itself it totally rusted out, including the inside and outside part of the pivot point. And the replacement kit is over $300.

    I see. Well if you have a problem with rust and want to go uniball then I was suggested to go with total chaos sense they use a stainless uniball.

    But if you want to go cheap and don't wheel super hard then the LR uca's should be fine.

    What about the JBA arms? Don't they use a sealed ball joint? I'm either going with those ones or Light Racing.
