Adjustable UCA question

[slow poke]

I'm going through the install currently. Few questions. I have a whiteline adjustable UCA, is it really able to be adjusted on the car?

Space is really tight up there.

Also, the stock bolt the holds the mount to the arm, any idea of the bolt head size? Nut size? i can't find the info anywhere.

Thanks

Slow Poke, I googled this in 30 seconds.

Space is tight yes. But on my BMR UCA I am still able to adjust it.

Not the correct info for our cars and not the piece I have. No hardware came with the arm.

I searched the **** out of this. I didn't just ask the question to ask the question.

Did you just use an adjustable wrench?

Slow Poke, it is the correct info for our cars. '05-'14 Mustangs are all the S197 chassis. I did another 30 sec google search and found the Whiteline kit that only contains the UCA. You use the stock mount. You use the stock hardware. The stock bolt under the rear seat is 24mm. Yes you can use an adjustable wrench if it's big enough.

Upper control arm mounting bolts were beefed up and geometry slightly changed for 11-14, all s197s aren't the same with regard to the UCA. Also you don't have to drop the gas tank with 11-14.

I just installed it, the bolt I was talking about mounting the UCA to the mount was 24mm and the bolt was 27mm. I got lucky and had a 27mm. I was asking to make sure I had the right sockets.

I reused all factory bolts. I have a J and M mount along with the whiteline adjustable arm.
