I am in the market for a new set of UCAs on my 2005 V8 4wd. I am stepping up to a set of 2.5 fox extended length coil-overs and thus need to make this change. I have narrowed it down to Total Chaos "uni-ball" and the LR ball joint style UCAs. My initial cost difference will be about $100, TC being the more expensive option. Ive done a significant bit of research but am still having trouble pulling the trigger either way. I understand that the LR sits higher in the range of travel than the TC will and that the ball joints both require less maintenance than the "uni-ball" as well as having greater travel than the stock ball joints. I also understand that I will have slightly greater travel and strength from the TC joints. This is at the cost of maintenance as well as life span. It sounds like a replacement for uni-balls is about $130 while Moog ball joints run around $100. I know that the ball joints will last longer, thus multiplying the real world price difference.I was wondering if anyone here with LR uppers had any trouble with the rubber bushings and what life span yall were seeing from the "uni-ball" style uppers. For those of you with uni-balls, what kind of maintenance are yall doing, on what sort of a schedule and to what effect? Thanks for all the help.
