    FWIW The Freedom Off-road UCA is $390 for the Tacoma. They’re a great budget UCA option.

    I've used them on my hondas. Theyre alright. I dont think I've heard much of them breaking outside of extreme circumstances(curb hoping or impacts).
    Hardrace/Megan racing are literally the exact same in the honda world. Just powdercoated differently.

    This Wulf UCA looks similar to Freedom and Hardrace. Currently on sale for $249.

    Angle of the picture. In my hands they look bigger than OEM.

    Honestly love the fact they use OEM style bonded rubber bushings at the frame. After being on my THIRD set of SPC arms with xAxis joints at the frame... I will not be doing another set unless I find some bonded rubber bushings that fit the SPC arms.

    JUST MAKE SURE TO TORQUE THE LONG UCA TO FRAME BOLT AT RIDE HEIGHT!

    I've ran these for 3 years, pretty hard use on the weekends off-road and fishing and it's my work truck. Ive put 100,000 miles on them. I just got the replacement ball joints from freedom as I have some play in them. My lower ball joints deteriorated faster than the uca if that counts for anything
