    I'm having the hardest time deciding!
    I originally bought Camburg balljoints but now I'm debating on swapping them out for Camburg Uniball with the cap. Mild off-roading but mostly daily driver. I'm more worried about them squeaking eventually and if anything the upkeep. A friend wants me to get Mazzulla billets. But there really aren't many people running those. Price isn't really an issue..I just want a good ride. I live in LA the weather isn't a problem. What do y'all think?

    I know what your sayin, it gets so confusing. The place i take my runner to installed these, he said he has been using the UCA’s for quite a few years with very good results. I have had this set up on for about 3 yrs. with no problems whatsoever, very happy with it.

    "I'm more worried about them squeaking eventually and if anything the upkeep." You just described what may eventually happen with a uniball UCA. Urethane/balljoint is your friend if you want low maintenance, low cost, no squeaking.

    The Camburg uniball with top cap is still open to the elements on the bottom isn't it?
