i couldn't find them too and my buddy got the ball joint camburg style. They don't give you the zerk fitting for the balljoint or the ball joint retainer clip either. emailed them and they said nobody had problems with them and i expect some diy'ers are gonna have a major issues if they don't resolve that. But, the sleeves were the right size and the $40 camburg Bj covers don't fit either.

They came with the balljoint retaining clips...just needed to buy 2 zerk fittings..no 'major issues'

I think Total Chaos sued the seller. The link the OP shared linked to a Seller based out of the US. US seller can be sued, even if the arms are from China.

Hahahahaha!! RIP eBay UCAs!

Seriously, where did you hear this? Anyone from TC care to comment?

Easy turbo. I said think... I'm just applying logic. These things were all over ebay and suddenly they're gone. And everyone says they were direct knock offs of the TC arms.

We'll see... maybe.

I did see those. I was hoping to get UCA's with uniballs.
So are these designed to help with alignment for lifted vehicles? It kinda hints at that, but doesn't spell it out.

Page 1 of my build thread, in my signature, has a lot of info on them.
They seem to be exactly like the Camburg balljoint type.

How long have their UCAs been available? I've never seen them before.

Well after 60k miles on mine one of the uniballs is making noise. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement?

We carry the Stainless Steel and non-stainless steel FK Bearing uniballs in stock. I will give a T4R-org discount if you call and ask for me.

Popping. You can feel it right at the ball. Very slight but noticeable. Squeaky sounds like you just need more grease on the bushings not the ball. I use marine grease on the red bushings and lithium on the uniball.

No, my squeaking happens when I turn, as the ball pivots within.

You shouldn't be using lithium grease in the uniball. It needs to be a dry, Teflon spray.
