[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 16275143, member: 9628"] With the wheel hop issues that we who have owned a GT500 since 2008 have experienced and also read about in many forum threads, Ford had to do something............and this more robust/longer UCA is not GT500 specific that I know of, as far as I know it is S197 across the Mustang line-up, or at least the V8 cars. Here is a flip side of the OEM UCA 1st and 3rd positions, there was mention years ago of the UCM flexing and contributing to the bouncing/hopping issue.......Note the more robust UCM for 2011-up...... This is the "flipped over view" of my original UCA side-by-side. [ATTACH=full]1594918[/ATTACH] ^^^^^Ford attempted to minimize the hop/bounce of the rear axle, but they also had to keep a comfy ride for the masses.
