    No worries, understood.

    Do you have aftermarket UCAs or are you going based off what you've read on here?

    he's from the margate area. There was a boat hull thats been there forever

    Dude this shit was like peanut butter!

    You just had to ask.....

    Before the most recent revision the LR UCA's had 4 washers per arm that sandwiched the bushings. When installed, the washers would compress the bushings and could prevent the arm from cycling freely, causing it to snap at the weld. This happened to a local NJ member, some other TW members, etc. and now it's just easy to hate on the LR UCA.

    No, I know all about these issues but they have since been "addressed" and I'm very happy with my A arms. I needed the adjustability because I have something bent in my front end, otherwise I'd have gone DTF or similar uniball style.

    I'm happy with mine too, but it just seems like any mention of LR UCA in this thread is taboo and everyone jumps onto the hate wagon. Only time will tell if the latest design has fixed the problems of the past.
