Can someone please explain in simple terms how to adjust the Whiteline UCA? Included instructions suck!
Whiteline UCA adjustment
- Thread starter Flyinrazrback

I don't own one but eventually will and was curious too.
Tighten everything down, both bolts, and place on the car. Take your initial measurement and then if needed loosen the jam nut and crank on the longer bolt, this will spin the UCA and either lengthen or shorten it depending on where it is in it's rotation.
Car needs to needs to be loaded to take measurements. So the only accurate way would be on a drive on lift take measurement and make adjustments from there? Also I have whiteline double adjustable LCA's so can also change from there as well? Is there a benefit from longer or shorter LCA?
Thanks

You are correct that yo get the proper angle you would have to be on a lift, as for the LCA's you can adjust some pinion angle with them but I believe they are more for adjusting thrust angle of the axle. Making them longer or shorter only has it's advantages in adjustment.
Thrust angle= rear wheels are at 90 degrees correct or another way the axles are perpendicular to drivetrain? Just wondering if I say you have thrust angle good but you still have inch left in adjustment on both LCA's is better to have longer or shorter control arm length with keeping pinion angle correct in my case poly arms and poly UCA -2 at trans +2 at pinion flange ie zeroed out? I figure Kelly from BMR can chime in?
Longer wheelbase is almost always better.
Now, in AutoX....a shorter wheelbase can be beneficial.
As for pinion angle....if the angles are the same, when measuring both from the same side of the car - then that is zeroed out.
If you measure -2 on the trans, and move over to the pinion and it moves all the way to +2....you have a 4 degree difference, no bueno!

Sorry miss typed/spoke -2, -2 as per your video. So if I can keep that angle with lengthening my LCA's I would have better traction at the track correct?
