BMR Adjustable UCA Question

[mjohns930]

I just installed a BMR adjustable UCA in my car and I am wondering how the adjuster on this thing stays tight. I put red thread locker on it and tightened the nuts as hard as possible, but it seems the stress from the articulating suspension could overcome all that.

Am I crazy or is this thing not going anywhere when it is cranked down?

My car is all stock suspension other than the UCA.

Thanks,
Mitch

Are you speculating, or are you having an issue with the jam-nuts coming loose?

It's not going to go anywhere as long as you installed correctly. The jam nuts actually work against each other and prevent the shaft from turning thus not letting the jam nut
back off or get lose. Don't sweat it.

Mine never comes loose, even without red loctite.

Purely speculation. Really just wondering, although I haven't gotten under and checked it since install and I have driven about 30 miles. Might do that tonight.

You should be fine. I wouldn't fret.

OP, If both jam nuts some how came loose you would feel it and hear it. I wouldn't worry about it.

Make sure your pinion angle is set correctly. :thumbsup:

i have adjustable upper and double adjustable lowers and they have not moved and i didnt use loctite.

Thanks for all the help. The noises don't bother me since they were there before, now just louder. I was really just wondering if it was something that required any periodic maintenance/checks. I will be doing that as it is though.

Thanks
