I installed mine about a month ago, same uniball as [MENTION=116060]FreshSeabass[/MENTION]. Everything fit just as it should on mine. crush sleeves included and the zerk fittings worked as well. I've not had a single problem out of mine.

This is pretty reassuring.
 
Guys... Sorry to ask this, but I've lost all my bookmarks regarding these UCA and the other parts to bring these up to par (bushing sleeves and the slug adaptors). I see the adaptor link below....

Can someone post some links to a good source for everything (even the UCA themselves)? I know they have gone up in price now, but still cheaper then all the others.

Thanks!!

Does this mean you didn't have to replace any of the parts? Still need the Slug Adaptors, correct?
 
Its crazy that they sold out at over TWICE the original price that they were selling for! Thats crazy! They originally sold for 155, I am sure it costs them no more then 75 dollars to make these

True. Very true.... But on the other hand, it does sound like they worked out the bugs in them. If these are the same as the ones I think they are, they first upgraded the hardware. Then fixed the bushing issues and the short thingy majig.... (damn... the thing the bolt goes through!!!) (sucks getting old!).:noidea:

And they are still half the price of the TC and others... If those past users were able to install them without any other modifications or purchases, it's still cost effective.
 
I emailed them and received a reply saying it will be at least a month before they get any more in. Well damn.....
 
Two months have gone by and still out of stock. I emailed them on the 30th and haven't received a reply. I was sure hoping to have some by now...

Even SPC on Amazon is over $500. And it's been awhile since I researched them, but they don't have zirk fittings to grease the bushings. Or do their bushings not need grease?

The new ones have the Zerk fittings, they recommend lubing them every oil change.
If you call Fat Bobs garage they can give a good deal on SPC UCA's I got mine for just under 400 shipped (just tell them a friend got the same deal from them). For the money so far I have been pleased with the UCA's nothing to complain about except that the coating on the welds was flaking I called SPC and the said it was normal and to spray paint it if I didn't like it. With the Ebay ones being so close in price I see no reason to get the Ebay UCA's over the SPC product, its way too much of a risk not having a US based company to back up the product. Keep in mind though that the SPC arms are also made in China. (side note I do not recommend fats bobs diff drop)

That's good to know. Many Thanks! May just have to do that, because I'm tired of waiting.
