For those with aftermarket Upper control arms

[KILRSVT]

In the never ending efforts to make my car handle better I came up with the thought that an upper control arm would be a good idea and cheaper than any other mod on the rear suspension . My question is what upper control arm do you guys recommend I am thinking about getting the steeda or roush 3rd link. Is it necessary to get the mount as well or can I just do with the control arm. I am looking to improve high speed transitions and corner exit speed . Thanks in advance

I have the BMR adj. Might as well go ahead and get it. I bought the non adj thinking it be fine and ended up buying the adj too so spent extra $$$. Mount is a must. Will clunk if you do not. At least thats been my experience

If your going to lower your vehicle make sure you get an adjustable 3rd link. Otherwise you will have headaches later on. Get the mount as well, why go with a beefed up piece of metal that still retains the flimsy stamped metal piece of a control plate?

Any maker of UCA's will be fine, except UMI if they do make one.

I went with Whiteline and I believe you need an aftermarket mount to fit the UCA, I wouldn't go with the Roush as it is the same as stock basically and none adjustable.

Steeda adjustable UCA and mount pretty much eliminated my wheel hop.

I've saw the steeda arm but not steeda mount . Where did you guys purchase your mount and arm assembly

I have BMR adj with mount and I love it. Not very noisy and is a must for lowered cars.

Any body in here install just the arm without the mount

Buy a aluminum one piece driveshaft and a BMR adjustable uca and set the pinion angle.

I have steeda adj uca and their bracket. Its a quality piece for sure! Do it

I have the jpc adj with stock mount but I'll be adding bmr adj mount soon. Sorry don't di any road racing so can't help in that department.

BMR adjustable AND mount. If you lower your car, you will need to use the upper UCA mounting position. Stock ride height, use the lower mounting position.

Trust me.

Used CHE upper arm and mount. Works well but can transmit some rearend noise. I kinda wish roush made a standard height unit...

My main concern with a uca is the noise and vibration... I am doing my suspension without it because of that... I have a suspicion I might need it though....

Awesome videos! Where did you mount the camera?

Did you have aftermarket LCA as well?

Yes I did the steeda with no mount. They supply a spacer to fill in the the space when using the stock mount. No clunking, no slop, no wheel hop, great 60's, easy adjustment.

The noise can be awful, I have gear whine and the howl at 80 is pretty bad, that being said I would never switch back to the stock mount.

Nice ....was there any adjustment you had to do for pinion angle or did you just match it to the length of the stock unit

The best way is to set the pinion angle,that is why they make the UCA Adjustable.

I have the BMR UCA and mount along with a few other suspension parts and I have absolutely no wheel hop. The rear stays planted at all times .
