The JBA's are a pretty decent UCA, especially considering they are almost 300 bucks cheaper than the next best thing.. for the money, I don't expect them to last as long as some of the other, more pricey name brand options.
My plan was to go the Icon UCA route, but after speaking with a local guy that has been running them I'm glad I didnt go with them, they don't have your zerk fitting like you found find on other options to grease so you have to use a needle grease fitting which sounds like a pain. Biggest thing I've heard with the JBA UCA is that due to the boot design (which mine is already starting to show wear) the ball joint is prone to failure pretty quick. From what I gather its an off the shelf component that I can replace, but I would rather not have to do that if I could. I'll have to do more research on this issue obviously, but for the moment it looks like long term I may end up with something like the total chaos UCA or something similar if the JBA doesn't hold up. For the time being Im sticking with it until it goes out.
