Total Chaos - Upper Control Arms

[dannewps]

I recently picked up a set of Total Chaos UCA's. I am blown away with the quality. From initial conversations with the people at the company, to the final installed product, everything was beyond my expectations. The UCA's from Total Chaos have made driving more pleasurable and enjoyable. I cannot wait to take this thing off road. The installation was a breeze and hooked right up with my Eibach Pro Kit.

From their website:

• Designed to maintain factory alignment specs on vehicles with 1.5"-3" lift kits.
• 4130 chromoly tubular upper control arms are 100% bolt on and hand crafted in the U.S.A.
• The uniball cup placement is moved to correct the caster angle that is lost with aftermarket lift kits. Vehicles that have an increased ride height are harder to align. The added caster reduces the darting or wandering in the vehicles steering and helps retain the factory alignment specifications.
• 1" I.D. uniballs feature a heat-treated stainless-steel ball & heat-treated stainless-steel race for maximum corrosion resistance and component longevity. These uniballs also feature a military grade PTFE woven fabric liner that helps prevent noise and reduce maintenance.
• CNC tapered spindle adapters convert the factory ball joint to a 1" uniball for easy installation.
• Custom profile upper and lower hi-misalignment spacers are machined from 17-4 stainless-steel to maximize strength and wheel travel.
• Urethane bushings reduce deflection compared to stock rubber bushings.
• Control arm pivots include zerk fittings to grease the bushings and inner sleeves without disassembly.
• 3 stage powder coat process includes a durable clear coat to provide a long-lasting finish.

the instructions say you have to drill out the hole on the steering knuckle/Spindle, did you really have to do this? I have some on the way but was wary about doing that in case I needed to go back to stock or get other UCA's in the future? I was curious if you were just drilling out a little bit or if you had to drill out the entire whole as they say a step bit is OK.

Drilling them out was the main reason I ordered Icon arms.

Pretty pricey...more than a set of rock sliders...

It is true, you do need to drill through.

What fenders are those. Very nice.

This reads like an ad so I'll plug my own.

I put on BajaKits uca, similar uniball setup, except that BK uniball bolt is recessed (not sure if that allows more movement) and doesn't require drilling. Also cheaper, even replacement uniballs are half the price.
