Need Allpro UCA reviews please

[NBBAZ]

So, I'm looking to get into the group buy going on for Allpro UCAs and was cruising TW in the AZ forms and there is some major shit talk going on about the quality of Allpro's products. Now I'm a little concerned.

Does anyone here have Allpro's UCAs? If so can you give some info about the quality of materials and workmanship? Mostly 3rd gen T4R feedback would be great.

I'll out this out there, and this has ZERO to do with me running the GB.

The people that are talking trash about All-Pro UCA's most likely don't know anything about UCA's. Those same people would also talk the same about any UCA's is they knew what they were talking about.

Specs: What's the same
*4130 Chromoly tubing (all 3 use this)
*1" FK Uniball PTFE Lined (All-Pro and TC us these)
*1" Aurora Uniball Teflon Lined (Camburg)
*60684 Urethane bushing (used by all 3)

The biggest compliant will most likely be squeaking. That can be said for anything with a uni-ball, and even heim joints are prone to it. Camburg sells Tri-Flow Uni-Ball lube that I've used in the past. You'll just have to make sure clean the sand/dirt out of them. If you take care of the uni-ball you're not going to have an issue.

Material wise these 3 are the exact same. So based on material all the people talking about the All-Pro's would run into the exact same issues with any other UCA out there.

All Pro... lol hard pass.

I believe most negative reviews of all pros are from squeaky uniball. This is normal for any uniball. Also the bushing make noise after time but this is also normal for any poly bushing.

Ohh and the consensus is all pro copied TC design giving them a bad name.

Good info. The most important part is the Uniball, and it's hard to beat FK for quality. I'll be going TC or AP because of this.

I thought they moved up to a 1.25" uniball?

The 03+ are using 1-1/4", but the 96-02 still use 1".

Do it!

Thanks everyone for the input! Unfortunately, there are a few people out there that will talk a bit of smack based on hearsay or no facts at all.

I'm still in for the Allpro UCAs!

1" uniball is still strong. Nothing wrong with them.

I've got no complaints with my AP's. Had them for over a year and they're doing great.

I recommend getting a uniball cover if you can. The uniball makes a nice little bowl for collecting a lot of road debris every time I drive on anything besides clean pavement. (salt, mud, water, etc..)

I also had to take the bushings out and regrease them by hand as the zerk fittings are pretty useless at distributing the grease.

They are fine arms, but not a maintenance-free part like the oem arms are designed to be, just so you know.

My brother with his Icons are spraying them constantly on the trail.

My polys are so loud now. Guess its a price we pay. LOL.
