UCA's ???

[manderson7015]

Hey peeps,

 

Looking to upgrade my uca's next after eibach pro lift kit. I can get a 3.25" with that kit and want the uca upgrade. What have you used or plan on using? Price, durability, etc.

 

thanks.

Cognito!

Reklez or bajakits. Cognito (from my many experiences) are the worst.  Ball joints die quick and cognito doesn't warranty. Horrible customer service

I have cognito and don't agree. They are not perfect but the build quality is there. They do need to be checked for frame clearance at full bottom, and just need a small notch to clearance. Ball joints are a standard  widely available variety that can be upgraded easily.

 

 That said the uniballs you mentioned are great, but start in the $800 plus range and you will have the increased noise and maintenance of a uniball. not a bad choice but be aware your not going to install and never touch again.  And if you don't have good extended travel shocks a uniball is overkill IMHO.

 

the other options are the cheaper $300 range arms that are almost all junk. So for $500 the cognitos are a viable option, knowing that you will probably need to upgrade the balljoints at some point and slightly clearance the frame during install. Strength wise they are well built, strong arms.

There is another option to the Uniball that Icon vehicle dynamics has came out with, eliminates the noise associated with uniball's and has longer maintenance intervals. Like a uniball this provides more articulation vs a Ball joint
