UCA, LCA and relocation brackets.

gragra73 · November 30th, 2008, 08:58 PM

I have steeda tubular LCA and I just ordered a non adjustable BMR UCA/3rd link. Paid only $65 on another forum for the BMR UCA. Now looking at my LCA, I see they are slightly lower in the front. Question is, can I still use relocation brackets even if I don't have adjustable LCA or UCA? My car is not lowered, but maybe because I only have 25.8" tires it played a role in the pinion angle.

ill add to this. is an adjustable uca/3rd link required when you lower the car ?

The LCA's should angle down towards the back of the car for better traction.
Don't know how much more the UCA will throw off your pinion angle.

06 hellfire, You should get the adjustable UCA if you plan on lowering your car.
It's purpose is to readjust your pinion angle.

The LCAs have a very slight negative pitch, maybe less than 2 degrees.

I believe the Steeda LCA did help reduce wheel hop, but I still have some. My 60's times use to be in the 2.2 to 2.4 range with a best of 1.9. With the Steeda my 60 times are in the 2.0 to 2.2 times with a best of 1.88

yes you use relocations brackets. Having adjustable LCA has nothing to do with that. adjustable lCA's are more for older stangs. The relocation brackets are as if not more important then the arms themselves. You want them.
