Nice find, but ouch! $25 per cover?

Yeah they're not cheap, but they are machined aluminum and very nice.

Dirt Kings covers are a few bucks less, but I don't know if they will fit (same goes for Camburg), as all I received from them were unhelpful replies: "blah blah blah our covers are designed only for our control arms."

The Dobinsons guy took the time to research my question, so he got my business.

How snugly do they fit in place?

They barely fit in the cup without the supplied o-ring. With the o-ring it's pretty snug. I think it will be water tight as-is, but if you really want to jam them in there you could easily grab a thicker o-ring at a hardware store.

I chose Dobinson UCAs because I preferred their bushings, ball joints, discreet look, and I like tubes. My alignment is perfecto.
