Default LCA

Has anyone used CHE's LCA and panhard bar on their mustang. I've heard really good things about their product. I want to change my stock parts out with new ones. Just curious.

I had a CHE lca break on me. I'm no engineer, but I think the design was just poor. I wouldn't recommend adjustable lower control arms anyway. Any of the non-adjustable ones will work fine.

Oh wow Moose! How'd you manage that?

I have BMR billet LCAs and I love them. Only complaint is the location of the grease fittings. Being lowered with relocation brackets they become the lowest point on my vehicle. I scraped them and goodbye fitting. Kinda sucks. If you can do it, look into a Watts link over the PHB. Worth the money if you can manage.

I wasn't going to put the adjustable LCA on. I was also thinking about putting CHE's PHB brace and PHB on and replace the stock Ford ones. What do you guys think?

Adjustable arms are known to be weaker than solid pieces. Unless you have a specific reason to buy adjustable (like a really lowered car or for fine tuning) i'd stick with solid.

I tried to contact CHE to ask about availability of their UCA since I liked their bushing design, but after not getting any response from two e-mails. I decided against them. If they can't answer a simple e-mail with simple question, i'd hate to see what they do if/when I really need an answer.

You guys should take a look at whiteline's adj. LCA and UCA. Their product is fantastic and I have yet to hear of any complaints from my customers.

There should be no need for adjustable LCAs.
A single adjustable UCA should be all thats
needed for pinion angle adjustments.
