    So with I unbolted my stock uca from the spindle it wants to raise up on its own. What is giving it all this upforce pressure on it? :confused:
    I want to adjust my coilovers but I dont want to have to have someone to help push it down into the spindle while i put the bolt on...
    any tricks or tips to doing it?

    The stock UCA is attached from the factory at the mid travel and then torqued down. No biggie. Just loosen the UCA bolt, reconnect it to the spindle, then tighten it down again. :)
