eBay uniball control arms?

[Pathfinder5243]

So there's no zerk on the ball either?

And I've also seen eBay uca snap before. I just don't trust it. I mean you don't get any warranty or have someone to contact. It's like playing Russian roulette with your suspension.

I'm in need of new UCA's myself and this is tempting. I just finished putting some grease in the stock ball joints to stop the squeaking until I can replace them. Just wish there was at least one more person who had them installed for a little more feedback.

I planned on being the second guy but Christmas has me broke! It will be a couple months before I get to it.

Interesting find but can't say I'd take the chance on them... how's the saying go? "If it's too good to be true, it probably is...

so you're saying they're the same quality as Light Racing then?

Also, asking about a zerk on a uniball itself has me questioning your knowledge and your opinion of these to begin with to be honest.

thats just insulting to these eBay arms

Yes, the zerk on the housing. Obviously not the actual ball.

And no, I didn't get a chance to snap a photo when the uca snapped. It was at AMS autocross on a TSX.

Well excuse my verbiage and allow me to retort. What I meant to say was the photo on any of the eBay ad's show no zerk on the "housing" of the ball but only on the bushings.

And further more I don't think an opinion can be questioned. Maybe if I said it was a fact.

forgive me, but I've never seen a zerk on the housing. uniballs don't use conventional grease that would applied through a zerk, only a dry lubricant

please tell me where my Total Chaos arms have zerks on the ball housing then please.

Im not seeing them so these must be bunk too.

Uniballs use tri-flow or similar. Few drops every so often and you're good to go.

You're right. I wasn't paying attention.

OK calm down. I didn't read the whole thread. Didn't realize you were talking about TC.

We arent. this is about the ebay arms that 100% look like TC arms. Then you threw out that the ebay ones were junk because you dont even see a zerk on the uniball. Then changed to there isnt a zerk on the housing of the uniball.

Im just saying, you're wrong. Also proved it with pictures and common sense.

eBay control arms? An open ended question. I didn't realize they were uniball until after because I didn't hit the link. My experience with eBay control arms is that I have seen one snap at the bearing housing. Now if the same Chinese company made it or not, I don't know.

And yes, I was wrong as you found it so fit to boast.

Excuse my lack of attention before reaction. I'm sure it's never happened to you. But I assure you, I will make it a point in the future to pay closer attention before I post. I wouldn't want someone to make a life changing decision off of my opinion.

 

[wnelax04sr5]

you didn't look at them but you knew they were junk because you didn't see grease zerks.....but you didn't look at them. no bearings in control arms anyway

come on man....
