Yes but him and many others (including me) have has them go out in under 10k miles. And cognito won't warranty. It's not the point. They sell a product that doesn't last
 

 

I wouldnt be inclined to blame cognito for that.

 

Have you tried swapping the joints for Moogs and see how much they last?

 

Ball joints, like any other parts that are subject to Wear and Tear, are not normally warranted, because they are directly under the pressure of abuse of the driver.

 

If i drive like a maniac i can finish off a set of brake pads very quickly or boil the brake fluid and cause a miriad of issues, and that doesnt mean its the manufacturers fault.

 

If we were talking about failing welds or a bent Control arm that cant widstand the abuse that is normal for even stock UCAs , the story would change, tho.

In this case it's the manufacturers fault. Along with poor customer service. Which is huge for me. Why charge that much and have a shitty balljoint and then not warranty something when you can clearly see its failed prematurely. Yes its not an expensive part to change but that's not the point

If we are talking customer service i hear you!  Most of the time they just make things worse with their apathy.

 

I agree with you on the overpriced parts subject, you shouldnt charge premium prices for assembies that last less than the stock parts. 

 

Im curious now, i wonder if their UCAs with uniballs are any good.

For a uniball upper, Baja kits uppers are the way to go

Oh it upsets me sometimes the companies that build thing that are faulty or outright dangerous then take no responsibility for it.
