Suspension & AxleTechnical discussions regarding alignment, stock and modified suspensions, lift kits, axles, hub conversions, gearing and steering.
This is a discussion thread titled "Considering Total Chaos UCA's", within the Suspension & Axle forum, part of the Technical & Vehicle Assistance Forums category.
I assuming the pros/cons vs stock ucas and balljoint so;
Pros : more wheel travel(provided you have a extended shock), better UCA clearance for larger tires, easier to align when front end is lifted, stronger, better handling, and look sweet
Cons : require more routine maintenance(greasing the uniball and bushings), can be louder, install can be a PITA (TC slug adapters are your friend ), and cost.
I run the camburg uca's and with the grease fittings, maintenance will be fairly easy and do not squeek/groan/moan at all. Even if they did make noise, the pros far outweigh the cons.

Also, pick up a grease gun, a flexible hose attachment, and some Green Grease (greengrease.net). The stuff is better than the Superlube T/C normally runs, but hard to find without ordering.
They will let you know when they need to be greased, but assume if you run in dry/sandy climates, grease them after any long weekend in the sand/dirt, or otherwise just do it when you feel the need, or if they start to make popping noises at the bushings--means the bushings are getting dry.
