Planning on replacing my UCA's this weekend. There are tons of different replacement parts online and in the stores. Anyone have any luck with any specific ones? Uni-***** are not in the budget. Just wondering if any of these Chinese parts are better then others. I had planned on putting Motorcraft back in, but a buddy had his done at a dealer last year and now 10k miles later and their ready to be done again. If a level and larger tires are gonna eat up BJ's that quick, I'll just go with the cheap disposable ones.

Thanks in advance.

 

I'm deciding between Icon and ProComp myself for when I replace mine. The procomp has a larger ball, but the Icons have more history to them. Either way Check out F150Lifts.com and see how their price stacks up

 

Uni-Ball is out. I dont want to spend double the money of the Motorcraft UCA's. Hell, if I ordered one of the cheaper ones online I could replace my UCA's 10x before getting to the price of the cheapest Uni-Ball.

 

These are what I'm looking at right now. Anyone have any feedback on any of these? I'm guessing their all about the same. Main difference is some have grease fittings.

looks like the duralast is the cheapest, so do that. The reason for the higher cost of the uniball, is you dont need to replace them like you do standard ball joints. Either way good luck with it.

 

I have been looking into changing mine as well but being I need wheels and tires first Im going to have to wait ... But from what I have seen on the UCA's ... Icons are suppose to be great but dont come with dust covers which is crap .... Sell a complete product ..dont charge me 40.00 extra for two pieces of round plastic especially when they are already way over priced wont buy anything from them on principle I hate companies that pull this kind of crap so they are out for me ...Found some no name custom welded brand on ebay that are an ICON copy from what I hear so they may be decent 300.00 per set (better than stock for sure ) ProComp are probably decent and not as expensive as the Camburg and Total Kaos ... But Being I had a Fabtech lift on my 02 and had no issues ... Id go with theirs they make great stuff and they are like 600.00 ... But like I said I need wheels before these so It will be a year or so .... I cant believe a decent set of wheels /tires costs over 2 grand nowadays ...pretty sick but I guess you gotta pay to play

 

Get the moog ones, moog brand is well known for all kind of steering parts and good quality.

 

Well I guess if you just want another part that is most likely no better than oem ..probably made at the same place ....Personally I wouldnt waste my time unless I was actually upgrading unless something is broke ..even then Id replace it with American custom made over china factory made If your trying to keep it on the cheap but do it right ... Buy nice or buy twice is what my friend always says check out these if you dont want to spend 600.00 on some brand name UCA's :
