    Like most aftermarket UCAs, the caster is built in. You have to buy special adjustable UCAs if you want to adjust the caster and camber at the upper control arm.
    Ordinarily you use the lower control arm to adjust caster and camber.

    Sorry, but adding more caster does shift your tires forward a bit, not backwards, hence better clearance. GLWS!

    No.
    Positive caster on the UPPER control arm pushes the tire back.
    Positive caster in the LOWER control arm pushes the tire forward.

    LOL. A lot of misinformed people on here.

    GLWS OP. these are nice UCA for people who want better drivability with 2”+ lift.

    Yeah, it’s no big deal. Trolls will be trolls.
    I didn’t understand much about how caster worked until I did a bunch of research on here myself.

    These things are great and their new Delta Joint is just awesome.

    I really wish they worked for my application

    No man, wasn’t referring to you. There was another guy that was posting some weird stuff. He has since now been kicked out and his posts were deleted by moderators.
    Sorry for any confusion to anyone with my last post. :D
    Sorry to hear about you being laid off. These are some strange times. My wife is also temporarily laid off until we don’t know when

    First off, I didn’t want to cut, chop, or change any of the plastic in my wheel wells. I also didn’t want to do a cab mount chop (CMC).
    My wheels are 17x9, -12mm offset, 4.5” backspacing wheels with 285/70/17 AT tires.
    I was only rubbing with these UCAs when I was turned and flexing the suspension.

    These Delta Joint UCAs are better than the SPCs in my opinion. I did lots of research before I bought them. I just needed adjustable UCAs in the end for my specific wants. I wish I could keep the Icons.

    gotcha. im running 35s with cmc, trimmed fenders, and no wheel wells. the biggest selling point for me was that the delta joint protects against the elements better than a uniball. since i do mostly highway driving this works for me.

    With a CMC and fenders trimmed, you’ll be fine with non adjustable UCAs

    You need adjustable UCAs, like the SPC UCAs I ended up going with.
