UCA Advice
« on: October 02, 2012 - 06:27:21 PM »
I'm replacing my front suspension and would like to go with original UCA's although after reading some of these posts I'm not sure why.  Anyway, one of the UCA's has stripped threads at the ball joint and the other ball joint is solidly rusted in place.  Apparently Dynacorn is the only company that manufactures OEM-style UCA's for E-body and they don't have any.  I also tried a couple of their dealers and they don't have any.  Anyone have any ideas on where I can get some OEM-style UCA's?  Or should I just go tubular?

I have heard of welded tubulars cracking around the welds , the OEM is one stamped peice so less likely to fail , use offset bushings to get the wheel alingment better & you are good to go  :2thumbs:
