Just wondering what the views out there of these 2 after market upper control arms are. Anyone have experience with either?? The TC runs a 1" uniball as opposed to PRG's 7/8". Also TC has greasable urethane bushings as opposed to PRG's 3/4" heim joints. Whats the thoughts on these 2 slightly different setups??

From my understanding, the heim joints are supposed to be better.. Hope you get the feedback you need.. :)

TC's are prone to squeaking, from what I've read. I have no personal experience with them.

I do have PRG UCAs. I think they are great, and I have no problems with them at all.

Prg also offers these.

I've had the TC UCAs for around 4 yrs now and haven't had a problem.

As long as you keep up with maintenance you shouldn't have squeak issues.

When I placed my order for the 3" SL from PRG they only offered TC UCAs.

I'll give Total Chaos a Big Thumbs Up.

i had tc and being a fisher men with salt sprays, was no good with an exposed ball joint. it ate it right up and started to pitt. i think they have zirk fittings so you can always regrease them and just over grease so the old stuff comes out. PRG on the other hand has advantage in giving more alignment options. you probably can get your alignment perfect with those. Try looking at nisstec lifts new UCA'.. has a sealed ball joint and adjustable and pretty good price.
