adjustable lca/uca/pan hard rod

05mustang_kb_charged · July 22nd, 2007, 12:25 AM

was wondering if anybody has adjustable lower/upper control arms, and/or pan hard rod. planning on getting moser m9 9" with 3.70 gear and true trac. and going to get all rod eye bushing but the only way for this to happen is they will all have to be adjustable. was wondering if anybody had problems with them coming loose and throwing alignment off

I cant imagine if you go with a quality set, like from Steeda or any other reputable manufacturer, that you would have an issue. As long as the install is done well and they are checked periodically. If I was you I would just check them every time I'm under the car changing the oil, that should suffice. Plus if you go with that new rear end you'll also be goin with a one piece driveshaft which will dictate you getting at least an adjustable 3rd link so you can dial out the vibration and correct the instant center. I'm running around now on stock control arms with a 1 piece DS and it vibrates ever so slightly, not becuz of bad manu but because the IC is incorrect. And any vibration in the driveline equates to power loss, soooo adjustable CA's are next on my list.

i really only wanted one adjustable unit like the upper but i plan on pulling car off road soon and just having strip car shooting for 650-700 rwhp so need the rod eye's, i have the driveshaft for a 9" so that's why i am going to buy one now instead of another driveshaft and then a rear end later. have to get adjustable pan hard because rear end is off center from lowering, so will just get all adjustable

i lowered my 05 and used the edelbrock upper arm and panhard bar, both are quality components and reasonably priced.

DOH! sorry i did not answer your original question. the parts i used came with jam nuts and also recommended blue loctite. they have not come loose at all. the blue loctite will allow you to make adjustments or take it apart but will prevent them from coming apart on there own. don't use the red loctite that will make it more difficult to make adjustments.
