I agree with MDgonzo101, we would all love the Icon/Camburg/Total Chaos super nice UCA's, but sometimes the budget doesn't allow. I will also do this to "upgrade" for my shot uca's and save for the Top of the line, when I win the lotto and strike it rich!

thanks for all the info you guys provide!

Yep! I'll run them a little bit this summer, but nothing too extreme planned.

Aright, so I just finished up a 2 day mission working on front end. Lower bjs, tie rods, and these Chinese ebay upper arms. Took it to get aligned and the shop said they couldn't get the caster dialed because of these arms and lack of adjustment . The nylon bushing material is already coming out, and my steering, handling is very sloppy, with mad bump steer. Trying to figure out if my trucks going to make the 500 mile journey through the desert tonight, and whether I should either: get new uni ***** and hardware, or just buck up and throw down 600-800 on some better brand. I'm very concerned about my steering. It's way sketch . On way back from shop heard some sort of snap cling clank sound around a left curve on Mtn hwy. then two seperate occasions I got a clinkitty clank sort going up the same hill in the same spot , which seemed interesting. Thinking I may have issues with my rack ? About to reinstall my ***tech dual steering stabs. And hopefully make it to work . Any thoughts opinions ideas? Other than these things suck? Don't really have the cash to deal with all this . But can't afford a car crash. If the Uca hardware fails how bad will it be?
Ohhhh mAn

Take some pics for us. And it would be catastrophic for the uca hardware to fail.
