EF aftermarket upper control arms
« on: August 11, 2009, 04:42:23 AM »
so i got the cheap ebay suspension kit and it comes with upper control arms that are a little different then the stockers. the stockers seem to pivot a lot easier. they have like a little sleeve that allows the UCA to pivot, the new afermarket ones dont really work the same. i torqued them to the recommended specs but the fuckers dont move at all. is this right? like i cant move them up or down at all, well i can force it really hard and it moves but it doesnt seem right.

I think all cop cars need to have turbo. nbspnbsp Then they would understand the necessity of putting your foot down and how uncontrollable the urge is to fucking rail on that shit.

there are no bushings like the old ones, just a steel sleeve that doesnt work like the old ones. it doesnt pivot at all
