[QUOTE="Robert M, post: 16117835, member: 9628"] I was thinking that 200ft lbs was what I did for the 2011-2014 BMR in my 2008, and I was thinking I called BMR (maybe talked to Kelly) to get that info. I don't remember for sure, that has been many moons ago.......... I do remember that I first installed the smaller/shorter 2007-2010 BMR in my car, and it worked fine...........but then I started do some research on changes Ford had made to the oem UCA/UCM and thought to myself.............hmmmm, why did Ford spend the engineering time and money make these changes? Then I did a little more research and found that BMR had also upsized everything related to the UCA/UCM for their 2011-2014 Mustang application, so I found a 2011-2014 BMR and attempted a retro fit of that larger/more robust UCA/UCM in an earlier car.........and it worked with no mods to my car. I have had the 2011-2014 BMR UCA/UCM in my 2008 for 5-6 years......... I do remember the torque specs being higher with the 2011-2014 vs. the 2007-2010, because of the larger hardware. Even though Ford upgraded the factory UCM for 2011, it is not as robust as the BMR. Sown below, 2007-2010 oem and BMR on left and 2011-2014 oem and BMR on right..... [ATTACH=full]1548863[/ATTACH] ..............and the 2011-2014 Roush next to the 2011-up oem....... [ATTACH=full]1548864[/ATTACH] ^^^Unfortunately, Roush only upsized the under seat bolt for their 2011-up and did not increase the "through bolt" size or the arm length...... R [/QUOTE]
