Upper Control Arm Question

Hello everyone. This might be a silly question to some but how many UCA's should I order? I'll be placing an order soon and would like to know just how many I need.

Cheers,
Jon

No, there are two UCAs, one per side. Same as the LCAs. Don't worry, they are sold as a set so you can't screw it up. There is only one panhard bar, maybe that's what you guys are thinking of?

Well if there's two, then one of mine must be invisible and the ONE that I've been talking to Brenspeed about must secretly have a stunt-double in the box somewhere.........

It's a three link suspension. There is only ONE upper control arm and two lower control arms.

Correct on the ONE UCA.

Be forewarned, though- if you are doing the install yourself get ready, it's a real PITA, a pregnant dog!!

You will need large daimeter metric and standard sockets, and good luck getting a torque wrench to fit in there to re-torque the upper bolt... this was the least enjoyable mod I have installed in the car, hands down.

It has made a nice difference, though. Steeda makes some nice stuff for daily drivers. Good luck!
