Uni-Ball Upper A-Arms

Does any one make Uni-Ball Upper A-Arms for our trucks? I would like to install a drop member with Uni-ball upper arms.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

I think they are a cleaner look.(no grease to drip down) I run them on my diesel truck and have never seen any on an older truck. Just wondering if they are any out there.

Re: Uni-Ball Upper A-Arms

Im going to be running uniballs on the uppers of my truck...

why?

-more travel than the typical Chrysler ball joint found in MMII front ends

-no rubber boot to tear

-whole unit is smaller than a ball joint so my control arm will be "thinner" where the bj is and hopefully wont hit the upper bellow on my bag and I can get more lift to untuck my 20's.

Re: Uni-Ball Upper A-Arms

You guys aren't concerned w/dirt entering the contact surfaces causing wear?

They use them on Pre-runners in the sand. I use mine in Pismo and have had no problems.

Re: Uni-Ball Upper A-Arms

I think the Barely Legal Fab arms pictured above run around $1,100 for uppers and lowers.
