    Ebay UCA w/ ball joint quality

    Whats up guys. I just did the 5 lug conversion on the front of my 91. And after i adjusted the toe, i noticed the change in camber from the 2000 tl spindles i used. Also the UCA smashes alot worse now. To get to the point. I have ingalls abj's and want to go back to the oem and found them on ebay for $51 a pair. From worldsuspention. They look right and seem ok. Anyone know if they are crap and if i can get them somewhere else and not spend 70 bucks each. I almost cant drive with two people in the car. Lol. Damn mass roads.

    Thanx.

      that's one part I wouldn't cheap out on, I would buy oem or napa, the ones I got from napa are beefier then oem, and have a 1/8" thick ring around the ball joint to hold it in better

        Save your money and get quality products when it comes to your suspension. The last thing you need is for you to be driving and the balljoint comes loose from the UCA resulting in an accident.

                      I used the part numbers to order them. I looked at the expensive one, got the pn and searched that, i figured that couldnt fail. Each brand and manufacture uses different pn's i thought. correct me if im wrong on that

                          i used to work in auto parts and i have seen alot of different brands that were the exact same part in the box (supplierwise)

                          moogs are different as most of their stuff they make themselves but there are certain parts they carry are OEM rebox

                            Honda doesn't sell the upper ball joint without the UCA, so personally, I wouldn't feel very comfortable replacing JUST the joint. People have, people do... I just wouldn't.

                            And are you replacing the "tall ass" Ingalls joint because you whack your fender? Will you be running with no camber correction, or switching to an anchor bolt style kit? Because even with that kit and a stock ball joint, you'll hit.

                              yup, just take a hammer to the inner wheel well and smack where you can tell its hitting
