UCA's

[kremmen]

Hey All,

 

Gonna change my stock UCA's over for the superlift ones. Will I need a wheel alignment after this process?

 

Anything tricky about this operation?

[Filthy Luker]

You kiddin' right?

I just had a wheel alignment, hopin I could get away without it.

 

Give us a break, Motorbikes I know. Cars

LOL.. no worries!

 

New UCAs will allow you to correct upper ball joint angles, and get proper steering geometry. So yea, you need to get it aligned for sure.

 

Tricky parts? Probably dealing with the upper link spindle through will be fun.

Superlift supply the spindle in the UCA's (with grease nipples too ), if thats the bit that bolts onto the chassis with the two bolts that face you.

Sweet, you're good to go then.

heheh.. let me guess... you're a gambler and your avatar is you at the craps table, right? *snicker*

Yeah, if the spindle is already there, you're golden. Make sure its set up right though. The Haynes manual gives specs for the spacing of the spindle inside the UCA, basically how far it should stick out either side. But anyways, with that and new balljoints (or carefully separating the old ones), it should be a straight forward swap. Then yes, if you value your tires, you'll need an alignment.

Roger that,

 

looks like I'll try and fuk it up this weekend then!
