I just talked to a guy who had the AllPro UCA's and is getting rid of them and I may buy them from him for $200 but was curious on what peoples takes are on the LR UCA's? I would rather have the LR UCA's but the price is right for the AllPro ones. He said the only problem he had was the squeeking and they had to be greased quite often. It seems like the LR UCA's would be better due to the fact that they require less maintnance. If anyone who has the LR's who has had them for awhile wants to chime in and fill the rest of us in on how they are working for them that would be great! Thanks!

Mine are working O.K. but there won't be any long term results. They haven't been out very long.

Issues so far:

-Torn rubber bushing (mounting on the Strut tower)
-ball joint movement while offroading
-Defective ball joint (Has been addressed and corrected) But you may want to check out the used one to see if he still has the old ball joints.

Had all the same issues with the Light Racing UCA's. But the alignment was great. Had the all-pro coilovers and they squeaked bad. It was so bad people would look at me when pulling into parking lots, like I was driving a 70's ford with 300,000 miles. I know it's a different part but seems like all of all-pro's shit squeaks.
And yes I greased the hell out of them.

wow thats exact what i was worried about was the rubber bushing tearing which i know will happen with me. I guess ill have to either wait for the TC or possibly get the AllPro, the only reason im hesitant on the AllPro is because not many people have given any feedback on them. The guy i might buy from said they were "ok" but he went with the TC and has the long travel kit and fiberglas fenders all the way around and says he loves them...hmmm

My All Pro UCA`s stopped sqeaking as soon as I found out that the squeak was coming from the ball and started oiling it with some PB Blaster every few days at first....Now when ever I remember and
I have not noticed any noise since and the have worked great on and offroad
