Well just got done replacing the drivers side heim joint...

I never really found what the popping was. I was convinced it was in the heim joint itself. But as I took the axle end bolt out and let the LCA hang, I thought I was going to find some "play" in the chassis end/heim joint...nope.

I replaced it anyway and put it all back together. Let it come back to ride height and tightened the axle end up. Took it for a test drive and no more noise. I'll see if it "develops" the noise over time again.

Thanks again to Sharad and the people at UPR. They sent out two new heim joints, jam nuts and 4 aluminum spacers to me to get this done!!

 

What can I say? I'm happy when my customers are happy!


Awesome! I know what you mean about wanting to verify what caused the problem, but I'm just glad it is fixed!

 

Good thread to read just before I order my UPR LCAs

 

Yup, I wouldn't hesitate. Sharad has been great taking care of this.

 

I can assure you that our control arms are very high quality pieces. We basically never have any issues with them. I really have no idea what the issue was with Smitty's, but as you can see, customer service is extremely important to us.

Thanks Smitty!

 

I was looking for some LCA for my 01 GT, website shows only one with urathane inserts and not heim joint. am I looking at the wrong section or sumtin?

 

These are the ones I have:

why do I not see it when I look in the 99-04 section? I have a 01 GT if that matters, I know cobras have different rear suspension. does your 03 Mach1 have a same suspension?

 

They are listed in the 99-04 section... Your 01 GT can use the control arms I posted. All 99-04's share the same suspension except the cobras.

 

^ except the New Edge Cobras..

V6, GT, Mach1 and up to '98 Cobra all have SRA and share basically the same components (some differences here and there) '99~'04 Cobras have IRS out back and a completely different suspension.
