Dillinger adjustable UCA setup

This isn't a problem with John's UCA's, its a problem with the boots on pretty much ALL the ball joints out there at the moment. At some point the design of the boot changed, and they're nearly impossible to get sealed. I have the same issue with my Hotchkis UCA's (which cost about 3 times what John's cost), and the STOCK set of UCA's on my Duster. Although I haven't mounted them yet, based on what I can see the Magnumforce's UCA's I picked up for my Duster appear to have the same issue. Different ball joint manufacturers too. The new boots just suck, it has nothing to do with John's work at all. Or Hochkis', or Magnumforce's. They all have to deal with the same crappy ball joint boots.

As far as the angle on the ball joint goes, it would help if your picture would actually load. Keep in mind that all the tubular UCA's out there, including John's, add caster. That is visible as an angle on the ball joint, and since you haven't had an alignment yet, I wouldn't worry too much about it. The standard settings are just to get you in the ball park, more than likely your settings will not be the same. My Hotchkis adjustable UCA's aren't even close to being adjusted the same, and that's from side to side on a single car.
