Just admit you're driving the units beyond the design parameters and that the CV cops it
because of the conditions it is expected to deliver torque to the wheels.
That's why a live axle is the best for towing - big reduction gear from drive shaft to axle and "solid-diff virtually as strong as solid axle" connection to wheels.

I'm all for pushing the boundaries but the build quality of the aftermarket control arms just doesn't do it for me.
I'd hate to be towing my caravan at 100 km/hr on a dirt hwy in the middle of Australia with my family on board to find a cheap uca wasn't up to standard. The consequences could be dire.
Remember these are not a static part.
If there was something like stefanos uca on the market I would consider it after a lot of thought and research.
This ain't a pissing contest......your life could be on the line.
Or an insurance co could reject a claim after you've written off your triton and you're left with 4 1/2 years of repayments and no wheels
You might call this post negative but I'd hate to say "go for it"and hear you've put it into a bridge at 110km because a cheap uca let go.
I know it's not what you want to hear but that's what forums are all about.
Listen to everyone and then make an informed decision.
