Whiteline revised UCA

Just finished picking up and installing this. Took about 3 hours, definitely not fun to do on jack stands but not the worst install. The only thing I wished was for Whiteline to provide their own flag nut for the arm to pumpkin, with the stock nut it spins as it doesn't having anything to stop it, and wrapping your arm around the pumpkin I'm a giant hug to torque it down is awful.

After having it done it is a significant improvement over the stock piece. After seeing them side by side and messing with them I am not surprised people get wheel hope, the stock bushing seems to be made of gummy bears.

Not sure at this point if anyone is still on the fence about replacing the UCA, I would suggest the Whiteline but also understand why some wouldn't go for it, however any UCA must be better then the stocker.

Thanks for the info on the UCA.
How do you adjust the pinion angle with the whiteline UCA?

I was originally going to put the Steeda UCA and mount in my car, but after discussing this with Jay @ Hypermotive, I am going to be installing a BMR along with their mount as soon as I come up with a little more cash

It has the eccentric crush tube, you tighten both bolts on the UCA to mount and then spin the longer of the two. There isn't as much adjustment as the BMR or Steeda, but I wonder if that is why Whiteline has the adjustable lowers as well.

I have no idea, I think the crush tube gives the Whiteline less adjustability but I think the poly bushings by Whiteline may be better, don't hold me to that though.

BMR was the other company I was interested in, especially their new UCA with the giant spherical bushing, however it was out of my price range and the Whiteline was a great deal, plus I have everything else on the rear from Whiteline.
