Uni-ball UCA's... you read that right!

So it looks like the extension angle change is a must. Just looked at JBA site they have some of the UACs on sale $395.00. Couldn't find the XK one through my I phone may call them and ask price. Searched the moog ball joint , Summit has them for $25.00. Changing the JBA joint looks to be easy.
Also for info I use a two jaw puller to pop the ball joint loose from the steering knuckle instead of using a fork which usually tears up the boot. I used this when doing the teardown to install the lift and did not damage them for the reinstall.

The JBA arms are $450: http://4xguard.com/commander-2006-20...ted-wk-xk.html

You're wasting you're time with the 2-jaw puller. Take the balljoint nut off, put it on a few threads, smack the spindle flat with a hammer and it pops right off. I've changed hundreds of balljoints/tie-rods/etc and never had to use a puller (ok except for Jacob's pitman arm....)

JBA's a solid product. This looks to be like another solid product with a few tweaks.

edit....to be clear i'll probably be ordering a pair of JBA arms in the next month or so depending on AM's input. I have to admit I love the "look" of the AM arms and im intrigued to try a uniball; but wouldn't order them in their current form over JBA.

Not to be completely tacky, but dibs on your RROs (if they already aren't spoken for). :-D

^^I already promised Corey i'd paint them purple and install them for him after I start swapping my suspension parts for my 6" lift plan

Matt any reason why your going from RRO to JBA?

Matt any reason why your going from RRO to JBA?

The simple explanation is OCD. I plan on running 5-6" lift and doing some serious wheeling and the kj bushings just don't sit right with me for an xk thats looking to take some serious abuse.

Makes sense, coming from another person with OCD. I have the old version of the JBA's that were designed around their coilover assembly. I'd like to swap them out someday for their new version.

I figured they were long spoken for, but had to take a shot! Looks like I'm going JBA around Christmas time then!
