Yep those are factory OEM bronco SAS UCAs.Did you do a side by side comparo on the uca's ? aftermarket ones should have an offset that would add more naturtal caster after a 3" lift for example. And depending on BJ you're going with, Icon Delta Join, or any of the ones with the uniballs, they're stronger than conventional BJ's, should flex a tad more as well. That ain't bad of a flex for those factory BJ's though., assuming both pics you're showing are factory UCA's ? showing the BJ angle at full compression and full droop.
Yes the aftermarket ones are beefier and look cool, but I see zero advantages. And the aftermarket ones rub on stock SAS wheels, and the angle the uniball is capable of is NOT significantly better than stock.
After buying at set and using them, I've decided I'll build my own. Pretty dissatisfied with the aftermarket ones.
(I build tube and fabric airplanes, so this is super easy since I already have most of the correct tools and know how) just need to make a nice jig first.
