[QUOTE="KBBoss302, post: 16255590, member: 135228"] I went ahead and ordered some Whiteline adjustable LCAs and an RTR UCA. Got the LCAs installed with some struggle. Whiteline lists the wrong size wrench needed - instructions say 1 1/8" but it's actually a 38mm/1.5" which is not a size found at my local Lowes, Harbor Freight, or Northern Tool. Used some big crescent wrenches to tighten the adjusters and that revealed something else - the lock washers included are too large and slip outside the center shaft when you tighten them down so I went ahead and left them off and blue Loctited them. Not impressed. Why the heck did I buy Whiteline after the cracking UCA debacle from years ago that I was part of? Call me stupid. Anyway, to continue the frustrating day, the RTR UCA has a much larger hole on the chassis side than the Steeda UCA bracket bolt and a larger bolt wont fit through the Steeda piece. Ugh. I have the factory UCA that I pulled off with probably 1000 miles 6 years ago so I am going to install that for now and figure out the next step if I don't like the factory UCA. Is there a trick to pulling the factory UCA down to the differential to insert that bolt? I got tired and stopped working on it but will resume tomorrow hopefully. Sorry to be so grouchy but this was not a fun day! [/QUOTE]
