Good information, Thanks for sharing. One thing that's not mentioned is the actual material used for the cross shaft - steel or alu and the bushing, are they delrin or? Tell me a little more about the screw-in balljoints advantages.

they are half price and at least as good as the GW.. and the loads on the UCA aren't that great anyway.. you can only put as much load on them as the upper balljoint stud can transfer without shearing off.... (look at a C4 UCA and see how flimsy they can be and still be safe for racing)
Function over form, lighter weight and half the price - what's not to like
