Default @%$#! UPR and their adjustable clutch cable

My damn clutch cable snapped today. Everyone told me to stay away from the upr adjustable cable but I didn't listen. Guess I will be going to ford tomorrow to get a new cable.

IMO, UPR is not much better than GMS. I have not heard about UPR having control arm failures...but a lot of there parts suck *****..

I called a buddy and he came and picked it up on his trailer. Luckly I have good friends and they all came out to throw her on a trailer and get it home. I would have hated to have to sleep in the car.

I had to do that once, it is not very fun. Especially when it is January in PA.

sucks to hear.....ive got the steeda kit and havent had any problems out of the adjustable cable for going on 15 months but i have a little less hp than you also. as for there control arms cody, ive had my uppers and lowers for going on 2 years and other than a little surface rust starting to form on the welds they look like new.
