Man, that's a cursed image if I've ever seen one! Wonder how they'll turn out, I can't imagine they'd be terrible

The ball joints are Moog, are they standard on a lot of aftermarket UCA’s. Is non-adjustable also common?

Yes and yes. Moog makes slightly upgraded/stronger oem replacement parts and are highly available at parts stores, which is great for if you break while on a trip, whereas uniballs are not readily available and would need to be shipped from a specialized reseller.
For the adjustability, I've only seen that on Toyota UCA's in the aftermarket world, and never really understood why people were liking them lol. There's enough adjustment in the lowers, and the flat plate UCA's look hideous imo and seem like they'd be prone to bending, though maybe 3/16" or whatever they are is strong enough. On higher end UCA's they have heim joints for pivot mounting and can be used to adjust camber.

Not too bad, took me about 4 hours or so as I recall. I didn't have to remove my battery, was able to get the shaft out/in with it in place.

yes. So these would be a great alternative to TC UCA and are priced accordingly.

Doesn't matter. There's not enough load on the UCA to matter. And there's not enough chromoly in the arm to change the cost more than a few dollars. There's only about $10 of 4130 in a set of arms.

Has anyone tried these yet? Is there a set of ball joint caps that would fit these? They look like they would collect a ton of dirt and salt spray. Trying to decide between these and the Dobinson UCA's.
