I have searched but haven't found anything on here regarding these UCAs hopfully somebody has some experience with them.
I've been searching for some UCAs for my 06 frontier and just came across what appears to be a deal on some new tubular UCAs from Protune. These appear to be knock of (or maybe re-branded) Total Chaos UCAs with a heim joint. for 299 these are probably worth trying right?

Anybody have any experience with these?

I have a set. They appear very well made. The uniball does not seem bad; even on my total chaos arms they wore out in a few years so that's no big deal. I like that these come with a cap/dust cover.
The uniballs can be bought for about $90, and if you're putting them on new the snap rings should be fine. As far as how good the ones it comes with are, that partly depends on what you're doing. If you're putting a lot of strain on them, they'll wear out faster (as will any). I'll post back when mine wear out from regular commute driving. I drive about 300 miles a week just back and forth to work and check for excessive play about every week just out of curiosity.

Alright I've had mine on for almost one year and 14,000 miles and have finally had a failure, not in the uniballs but one of the misalignment spacers. The spacers that go into the uniballs are fine but one of the spacers that goes down into the spindle (#11 on the diagram) basically crumbled away. It was separated into paper thin flakes that I pulled out of the hole, very odd. The driver side is fine but I'm rebuilding both sides anyways since I have the truck torn apart to do a bunch of other front end stuff too. Both bump stops also fell off as well. Everything else still looks good. I don't rock crawl or anything but it doesn't just stay in pavement either. We have a farm and just our driveway alone is up a hill and has water flow ravines and holes eroded into it. The suspension definitely gets cycled well just leaving and returning home lol.
