Recall: Whiteline adjustable UCA
#21
I still have my factory one, thankfully. I'm going to try to rip the video off my desktop hard drive since the desktop is currently down for a little while. I'll probably use a basic software to compile and upload it.
I haven't had time to get the arm off and switch it with the factory, but i'm already on the list for the upgraded one with Whiteline.

Here is the video, sorry it took so long. Didn't expect the computer issues that I had, and my schedule got a little busy this past week.
This may not be the best camera angle, but I tried to mount it as far "up" as I could. Hopefully it can be of some kind of use, or at least give people an idea of what it goes through. I'll also post of a dashboard view of the circuit to give people an idea of what kind of forces it was going through.
Autocross normally stay in 2nd gear on these cars, so it isn't THAT much, but I do have a earlier dashboard video of a circuit that I was hitting the top of 3rd in. The Whiteline was mounted during that event, but that was before I knew of the issue.
The **** off to the right is a LED Flashlight that I bought at AutoZone the same day to give the view some lighting. The GoPro at that location would not pick up any light during the day or night, so that's what it is for.

All of the other Whiteline parts are fine. The UCA is a "first" for them on the Mustang, and when Steeda did a side-by-side comparison, you can tell that there wasn't enough material to take the force. Simple miscalculation on Whiteline's part, but at least they stepped up, issued a recall, and a stop sale for the part. Most other companies want to do a run around until a lawsuit comes.

So took mine off a few weeks ago, and finally got time to take some pictures. Whiteline's last ETA was about the end of this month, but I haven't heard anything of recent. Mine was building cracks mainly around the area where it connects to the axle. It also had some scuffs on the side that faces down.
