    Just wondering if anybody has any pics of how they have their LR UCAs set up for 0 castor. These directions that came with them are completely worthless and I am confused on which way everything needs to be rotated. :confused::goingcrazy::confused: Thanks in advance!

    Thanks, but I have the Light Racing UCAs. I'm wondering about the rotation of the ball joint. It's adjustable from -2 to +2 castor, but these directions are terrible with regard to what configuration is which. I'm just wanting to see how the ball joint assembly is rotated relative to the arm to achieve 0 castor. I appreciate the reply though!

    maybe somebody with the lr's will chime in soon...
