UCA's ARE IN

[xstevx]

Yeah mate, I slapped some grease on them before assembly, then put a grease gun on them once they were in, you might have to jack the car up so the wheel droops and the nipples rotate out and you can get to them.

They aren't strictly legal because they don't maintain factory specifications and tolerances for the vehicle. (cv angles, wheel clearances bump stop clearance, etc)

Good call on jacking it up haha, I'll give it a go when I get it back tomorrow. My other option was taking to it with a die grinder...

Thanks guys.

Also, after having a good look at the cross members that hold the front diff in, I'm thinking of modifying them and dropping the diff about an inch and a half. I've got some spacers made to go between the UCA's and balljoints. I know this is a bit of effort for an extra inch or 2 of lift, but I'm all about DIY at the moment.

yeah Ive had the same, i wound the torsion bars all the way up. But if these upper control arms give another inch lift i think that's well worth it.

Any one in Melbourne who will know how to do this...

And any one in Melb that can put the 50mm blocks in the rear to rasie a bit more after extended shackles. Thanks guys

In the first photo it only looks like toy have 1 bolt holding your ball joint in. I hope this isn't the case. Ball joints are tight when they are new. Jack the wheel off the ground to get some clearence to pump greese into the nipples.

Or just fit right angle grease nipples!!
