Link?

HMUSN · July 2nd, 2008, 11:20 PM

lol to prevent wheel hop and make you hook.

wheel hop = broken diff clutches.

energiesource · July 2nd, 2008, 11:20 PM

i think they just make the rear axle stiffer so it lessens wheel hop and sway and stuff

ReverendDexter · July 2nd, 2008, 11:30 PM

The function of the upper and lower control arms is to locate the rear axle. The stock ones do it poorly, which is why so many people have wheel hop issues, and got to aftermarket units.

Just put mine on yesterday. Goin to the track tomorrow

Honostly.. i have no wheel hop issues in my car, just extreme loss of traction in 1st and 2nd... do you think if i get CA's paired with my current suspension and some FL Subframes, i'll get better low gear traction?

i've been wondering about this for a long time. so it is possible to have wheel hop when your under acceleration? thats what it feels like in my car anyway, its like its not completely hooking up but its not copletely breaking loose either

So is this usually worth the investment on a semi-modded stang, Close to stock?

ReverendDexter · July 3rd, 2008, 01:46 AM

LCAs, yes.
UCAs? Only if it's a drag-only car.

deedub97GT · July 3rd, 2008, 08:48 AM

whats LCA and UCA

sjr56 · July 3rd, 2008, 09:40 AM

LCA= Lower control arms
UCA= Upper control arms

HMUSN · July 3rd, 2008, 09:55 AM

YouTube - 1994 mustang burnout

thats wheel hop. if your car has enough power to do that while in motion you should probably invest in control arms.

the real shocker · July 3rd, 2008, 01:30 PM

uppers allow you to change the pinion angle and hook harder

and yes, they do make a big difference from stock

Heik · July 3rd, 2008, 02:11 PM

so you can get LCA's without having to worry about upgrading UCA's along with them?

DeMello · July 3rd, 2008, 02:13 PM

Rico-mofos · July 3rd, 2008, 04:22 PM

so UCA if im just looking to elimate wheel hop? or do i need both...im not really trying to make this a full on drag car...im just seeking some insight/knowledge on how you benefit from them

Adde · July 3rd, 2008, 05:35 PM

why do people say to get adjustable LCA instead of just non-adjustable whats the difference performance wise?
