I want a UCA - vendors, watchya got for me?

I already have BMR rear LCAs and relo brackets, and a J&M adj PB.

I'm "enjoying" a high-speed vibration that I believe is related to the DSS 1-piece driveshaft, and I hope that getting a UCA that will allow me to adjust the pinion angle might finally erase the vibes.

I've already rotated the d/s and it's gotten better, but still there and I'd like the vibes to be gone for good, especially with the Whipple being on its way.

So, thoughts on which UCA will help me out in my quest to be vibration-free?

Please post or PM me prices also!

Hit up Jay at Hypermotive on here. BMR is having a sale starting on the 27th. 15% off I think. Great customer service!

Have you checked to see what your pinion angle is? I would hope the vibration isn't coming from the pinion angle being out of whack since I think that means it could be causing rear gear and rear seal issues. IMO I would go with BMR especially now that they are coming out with a beefy UCA.

BMR is the front-running choice and Hypermotive/Jay is where I'd get it from.

I've never checked the pinion angle but it's really bugging me lately ... it only happens at 90+ but I'm gonna be spending more time at the track next year and do not want vibes

The sale on BMR products is valid as of now at hypermotive, I ordered the adjustable upper control arm (UTCA019) and the mount (UCM001) along with a pair of Billet Aluminum Lower Control Arms, (lACA004) yesterday (11/24/13) and saved $107 dollars.
Use THANKSBMR15 as your discount code.

Thanks for those who pointed out Hypermotive and the code. Never ordered from them before, but will for sure be finishing up my Roush's suspension through them. Love my BMR suspension on my Shelby.

Why would your pinion angle be off Gabe? You look like your factory stock?

Did you ever check your pinion angle? Did you need an adjustable UCA?

If you're still looking, Whiteline would be my choice, since I went with one. SO much of difference from stock.

I just lowered mine today and I also have a DSS driveshaft and was gonna check it but it got too late. They claim there's no need to change it.

Yes that's what they claim, but doesn't seem to be true.

I kinda use the vibes to remind me to slow down, cuz they kick in around 90-95, nice and solid by 100-110

As soon as they start I know I'm going to fast

No need since it will work but adjusting the pinion angle will make the DS more efficient and should increase traction.

Ended up ordering a Steeda 555-4098 (for lowered 11-14 Mustangs) Upper Control Arm, again from Hypermotive.

Ordered a matching one for the girlfriend's '08 Shelby, since I lowered the back of that car 1.5" with Ford "L" springs
