    I’m doing a king lift on my truck and was wondering what type of UCA y’all are using. Know the uniball have a tendency to squeak. What’s your recommendations?

    they both do their job. uniballs end up rusting and can be a pain to replace imo. went back to balljoints

    I have the Icon Tubular with Delta Joints and has never squeaked, other than the bushings which needed to be properly greased. Other members here who prefer ball joints go with SPC and JBA

    I went JBA. Awesome service, heard a lot of good stuff about the product, easy to grease/repair/maintain, and the red color pops out nicely from underneath. :thumbsup:

    The squeak on my uniball UCA was so minor prior to replacement, I barely even knew it was there. You can't really pick a bad product in this area. Everyone will recommend what they own. Go w/ a familiar brand and you'll be fine.
