I see JBA has rebuildable joints for their UCA's now. I just found out my upper joints on my JBA UCA's have a little slop so I am going to replace them. Are there any disadvantages going to the JBA joints over Moog's?

Cool. I bought em cause they are making a lot of noise now. I was not sure since some of these off road joints require more maintenance.

I just got these installed today. Definitely solid units.

The freaking original ball joint spacer that came with the JBA arms had corroded itself onto both the ball joint stem and the spindle so that they were basically one solid chunk. Took almost 4 hours of putting the weight of the Jeep on the upper arm with a 2x4 and spraying it with PB blaster before it broke free.

And exactly why several parts like that get washed on a regular basis summer and winter, plus sprayed with Aerokroil
Never have any issues with anything not coming apart
