The KJ UCA and ball joint is an integral unit. The option I will be installing in mine is the JBA (Jeepin' By Al) as I understand many others have done. That way you get a quality UCA with a replaceable U ball joint.which can be had most places.
The Jeep original prices are criminal.

That is the way I will be going about it when the time comes.
SOONLY.
