Default Attacking the Pinion Angle! UCA/LCA's

Going to attack my pinion angle (vibration) issue...

What are the best UCA/LCA's out there?

Adjustable UCA and make the LCA's non adjustable?

OR just put in an Adjustable UCA and leave the others stock?

OR Leave the UCA and put in adjustable LCA's?


And what brand???? NOthing stiff, I want Quality!

I have the BMR billet aluminum LCA'S with relocation brackets and a Steeda adjustable UCA.

Happy with both, they are quality parts. UCA pinion angle is 3degrees down.

I also run BMR.
Adjustable LCA (poly./rod), relocation brackets, panhard bar, brace, and sway bar (w/ billet endlinks) and could not be happier. I have H&R Super Sport Springs so a 2.0 pinion angle works well for me.

Good Read...https://mustangforums.com/forum/2005...d-the-car.html

If you are not going to the drag strip daily, BMR's brackets are one of the few that don't need to be welded on.

Mine are welded. Better to have them welded than have the rear tire eat your fender.

I have the BMR adjustable UCA and am happy with it but like the Metco design. If I'd known about the Metco thats the one I would have purchased.

I'm running a -4 angle and it's vibration free. At -5 I experienced vibration, changed the angle slightly to -4 and it disappeared.

I'm lowered with an Eibach Pro Kit and currently have a Powerhouse 4" 1 piece Aluminum DS with Steeda Rear Billet Lower Control Arms and Steeda Street Adjustable Upper Control Arm. Suspension Guru set my Pinion angle
at 2 degrees down and all is well..!!!!
