[QUOTE="Sales_@_Camburg, post: 812086, member: 12865"] Our 1.25 and 1.50 upper arms are very similar but their are some differences. Depending on what you want and need will determine what version to go with. The 1.25 version is cheaper since we're using a smaller uniball and polyurethane bushing at the frame pivot. These are non-adjustable and are a little more user friendlier with less maintenance. The 1.50 versions use a larger more expensive uniball and use FK 7/8 heim joints at the frame pivot. This gives you the ability for more camber and caster adjustment if you need/want it and also a more solid connection point with a bearing versus a bushing. It is one more thing to check since with any kind of threaded part they can loosen with off-road use. The larger 1.50 uniball also has more mis-alignment and can offer more wheel travel if your coilovers allow for it. As far as aftermarket steering goes, for most the stock steering is fine. If you want something stronger and higher quality or your stock parts are worn out, then would be the time to look at the upgraded steering. You also have the ability to double shear the outer heim with our spindles for a stronger connection point. - Sales @ Camburg[COLOR="Red"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 11:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:41 AM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR] The biggest thing with any uniball/heim is keeping them clean and lubed correctly.
