kremmen Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filthy Luker Posted January 17, 2006 Share Posted January 17, 2006 (edited) 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.

kremmen Posted January 18, 2006 Author Share Posted January 18, 2006 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Pickles Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 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.
