Anyone?.... Jazzer?

^ I thought someone answered this.... maybe not

This would depend on the manufacturer making such a bearing for their arm. I highly doubt that there would be a generic fit, as differences in design I'm sure. Contact the maker of the arms you have and ask

Jazzer

EDIT: Mr T types too fast.... FOO!

UPR and MM both sell spherical bearings for control arms, though I'm not quite sure which models they'll fit. Typically you can just call the manufacturer and find out what you need to convert to sphericals

Jazzer The Cat · January 26th, 2011, 07:33 PM

OMG..... NO Mr. T......

I just checked the link to the Summit UCA's and they are HORRIBLE DESIGN! A similar design was mentioned earlier in this thread by yours truly and OEM should be used. Take a look back on page 1, I think, and look for the post in which I refer

Jazzer says.... NO solid UCA's are to be used on a DD

MrTenacious2KGT · January 26th, 2011, 07:42 PM

sucks for me i guess, theyve been on the car for about a year now

Jazzer The Cat · January 26th, 2011, 07:49 PM

I would actually recommend you remove them and go OEM

Those are not as bad as the ones I pictured in the prevous post, but NOT a good UCA on a 4-link.

... in fact, there is NO good UCA on a 4-link, as far as I'm concerned

MrTenacious2KGT · January 26th, 2011, 07:53 PM

Good to know, I had only changed them because i bent one of the oem ones

Besides.... me no see no multiple posts

Every..single..time..I..post..it's the same bullshit. Why can't this forum keep up with itself?

EDIT: I pressed reply for this post, started loading slow as shit as usual, went and had an entire cigarette, came back and still no post! That's why I'm getting pissed off.

Anybody with a link to those TeamZ's or Kenny Browns? Their sites layouts blow anyone know a dealer or something?

This issue is well known and being addressed by the higher-ups

Jazzer.... just a YELLOW dood with weak mod-powers

Did the install this weekend

car is hooking up much better now. Only spins in 1st and not half as bad. Now to make the back end break loose I have to do it purposely. I will still need more work to be able to hook up when i get gears, but this obviously helped a lot.

therat1989 · January 31st, 2011, 10:20 AM

Well then LCA's are my next choice.

Also considering getting some better shocks than my Tokico Blues. I don't think they allow enough weight transfer.

Right you are, not many of us do. I'm used to people assuming I'm a guy cuz I like me some muscle cars, it doesn't even bother me lol

The few, the proud, women with muscle cars.
