[QUOTE="BMR Tech, post: 13998311, member: 124691"] In my experiences within the aftermarket, it is pretty common for Mustang Suspension pieces on '79 to Current platforms. As for why, well, it is MUCH easier for a company to make their control arm collars/brackets slightly over size. Coating thickness can vary, OEM tolerances can vary, the manufacturing process of the company's UCA end can vary, etc. It is much easier for us to tell a customer to tighten it down snug, compared to "pry it apart" to get it to fit. Or, having to tell someone to grind their coating off of the part before they install it.....so it can slide over the mounting point. I have installed many of ours, and they usually fit pretty good. I have never noticed an excessive gap on our UCA Collars. If you were referring to something else, when you say "free-play" - I apologize....and please explain. [/QUOTE]
