whiteline UCA
I was wondering since whiteline is apparently using magical poly bushings that don't allow noise in like everyone else's has anyone used their UCA?
Since pretty much every single aftermarket UCA poly arm allows noise in is whiteline the exception?
Anyone with experience please chime in thanks.

Sorry, no experience here but I'm considering one myself. While I don't remember seeing the specs anywhere but from the pics the mount (not the arm itself) appears to be both smaller and thinner in gauge than every other aftermarket 0.25" thick metal...maybe someone from Whiteline can chime in?

I don't have a unit in front of me to measure, but I can tell you that it is made from 4130 Chromoly and it is extremely strong. When people see our products in person they always comment how stout they are. It may appear to be more petite due to the design so it would be easier to install and fit on all of the S197 cars.

Does it allow noise to be transfered from the rear/differential like other UCAs?
Can someone from vorschlag chime in or anyone else?

It will remain pretty quiet unless you adjust to eccentric crush tube to the full amount where it touches the mount. Doing so is acceptable, but it will transfer a minimal amount of noise...

What is the point of adjusting the eccentric crush tube all the way? When would I need to do that?

My current suspension setup consists of:
- Ford Racing 1" lowering springs
- FRPP jounce stops
- FRPP / Eibach adjustable front / non-adjustable rear sway bars
- Koni STR.T shocks and struts
- Steeda HD strut mounts
- Ford Racing lower control arms
- BMR adjustable panhard bar and brace
After this weekend, assuming I get around to installing everything, it'll look like:
- Ford Racing 1" lowering springs*
- FRPP jounce stops*
- FRPP / Eibach sway bars*
- Bilstein shocks and struts (sourced from a 2013 Shelby GT500 along with the 15" Brembo brakes)
- Steeda HD front sway bar endlinks
- Steeda HD strut mounts*
- FRPP lower control arms*
- Whiteline upper control arm / third link
- Whiteline watts link
Considering my car rides as well as or nicer than OEM and makes nary a sound or clunk, it should be pretty easy to tell whether the new modifications add NVH. Tracking down exactly which modification(s) is specifically responsible for said NVH, though -- assuming there is any (I really hope not as this is my daily driver) -- might be difficult.

I have 2013 Boss 302, two weeks ago, installed Whiteline upper and lower control arms with heavy brackets, and panhard bar and brace. No noise, at all, ever. I know a few people with the same set up, using coil/over shocks/springs. The lowered cars do make noise, but it's not the Whiteline components.

You boys should immediately inspect your UCAs
