I've heard good things about that too. I like the tri flow because it is small enough to carry around in my glove box.

I grease my upper ball joints quarterly or before/after harsh conditions, i.e. Water/sand. I have typically used lithium based because I wanted to keep them well lubed while playing in the water/sand. However; synthetic grease (Mobil 1) is hugely more robust than regular(so I have heard).

This is what I switched to. For my grease zerks and ball joints.

Hope this helps, cheers !


I see u are in CO !
I'll be Idaho this week boarding and then next weekend in Colorado. Beautiful country up there ! Probably hit up keystone while I'm there.

At what lift height are new UCA's required? I'm trying to decide (for the future) to rebuild my UCA's or wait until I need aftermarket arms for a lift

The main goal is to correct alignment. You can also use certain(SPC) arms to gain firewall clearance with bigger tires.
Plenty of guys are running 3" lifts with stock arms, but caster isn't ideal.

2" lift and under you can get over 2* on stock arms. Over that lift amount you can live with stock arms but to get ideal caster you need aftermarkets.

SPC are nice like stated above because they are full adjustable, strong, give more travel and have enclosed ball joint that has a grease zerk. They make noises.

Nobody even gave the built right ucas a nod....damn. They are good as any of the uniballs and they are cheaper.

I had Light Racing UCAs on my Tacoma along with extended travel Icon COs.

The ball joints failed and did so WAY too early in my opinion. The idea behind the LR construction seems good, but I had bad luck with them holding up.
a handful of year late but whatever. i take it i can run the tc's without a extended travel kit?

MCM Fab Uniball UCA's are another great option even cheaper than Camburg ($675) on SRQ's website. I think all these UCA's are essentially the same construction/strength - just my 2 cents. Camburg brake line tabs do look nice though. Uniball all the way for weekend warrior build though!

I agree that for what most of us weekend warriors do any uniball UCA will suffice. They are designed strong. There is a part of me that thinks you'll pay more for a bigger name companies product over gain in quality...but that me. I did a lot of suspension work to my rig in the last year. Here is what I can tell you...

Uni ball UCA definately a good move to make. Alignment, flex, no rub issues. What's not to like. When my uniball wear out I'd swap to SS ones.

The uniball does collect a lot of dirt especially with grease all over it. So wash it off...and regrease the ball. It rains a bunch here in winter which also causes the uniball to get dirty and grease to wash away quicker...so regrease more frequently. I now stock plenty of red and tacky at home because of this. Do I regret going to uniball UCA because of this extra maintenance? Not one bit!

With that said I'm rocking Built Right UCAs

Side note if using heim joint sway bar links like Mike puts out, you'll be in a similar boat. Tri flow dry lube is your friend. It rains the lube gets washed out so relube. You wash it the lube gets washed out so relube. I carry a small bottle of tri flow in the rig and a big bottle next to all my red and tacky.

Basic clean and lube for these types of things are done in minutes with a cold beer in hand. Not some thing that should be considered a reason to not make these upgrades since the performance gains out weigh my time spent lubricating joints.
