Adjustible upper 3rd link nessacary?

blueone · February 28th, 2009, 07:26 AM

I just bought a Dynotech aluminum driveshaft and I was not aware that I would need an adjustible upper 3rd link to get the pinion angle right. There was no mention of this reqirement at all from the venders when I was looking at driveshafts but if it is nessacary to make it right I'm all for it since I was planning on getting one anyway.

Who makes a good one and what should I look for before buying one?

BMR is good and for a good cost. Metco is suppose to be great, i can get them as well but its pricey.

Is fat meat greasy? Yes it would be wise of you to do that along with the heavy duty mount while you're at it.

Going to go with these, thanks for the info on the bracket and Metco.

yes you need the adjustable upper control arm for the d/s in the event you need to adjust for the pinion angle to avoid vibration issues. you also want to invest in the driveshaft safety loop for added safety\

I have both BMR d/s loop and UCA and have no complaints
