New Bilstein UCA's

[dezertbomber]

Interesting to see Bilstein put its foot in the UCA market, though I can't blame 'em with the increase in demand.

Comes with a lifetime warranty too.

Wonder what the price will be. The bushings seem like a good compromise.

I asked on their IG post since I can't find it online yet. We'll see what they say, but it'll need to be in the $500-$700 price range to be competitive.

I would be willing to pay a premium for Thyssen Krupp products due to their testing and quality control not to mention being a leading industrial conglomerate.

I have no problem buying skid plates and sliders from "one man with a few buddies" outfits but when it comes to suspension components....

I'm not sure about the final product, but Bilstein was working with Dirt King on the UCAs.

Gussets around the pivots are different than DK's, more like TC's. The zip tie loop is the same tho. Should see if DK's ball joint cap would fit these hehe.

Is it me, or is that the same BJ set up at the Dirt Kings?

Saw these today while browsing, hopefully someone gives some feedback as im in the market for some uca’s.

 

[Devbot]

Man, that's a cursed image if I've ever seen one! Wonder how they'll turn out, I can't imagine they'd be terrible

The ball joints are Moog, are they standard on a lot of aftermarket UCA’s. Is non-adjustable also common?

Yes and yes. Moog makes slightly upgraded/stronger oem replacement parts and are highly available at parts stores, which is great for if you break while on a trip, whereas uniballs are not readily available and would need to be shipped from a specialized reseller.

For the adjustability, I've only seen that on Toyota UCA's in the aftermarket world, and never really understood why people were liking them lol. There's enough adjustment in the lowers, and the flat plate UCA's look hideous imo and seem like they'd be prone to bending, though maybe 3/16" or whatever they are is strong enough. On higher end UCA's they have heim joints for pivot mounting and can be used to adjust camber.

Haha heck ya. I almost went red since it looks good with the red bushings and in their logo, but when anodized red fades it turns into pink lol, so black it was!
