Great news!

Need details.

A few off the cuff questions.

1) When can we see pics?
2) At stock ride height, how much camber adjustment + & -?
3) Will they allow any caster adjustment?
4) Will they be adjustable while installed on the car?
5a) What type bushings? 5b) or rod ends?


Very glad to see someone has developed what is a needed cure for many of us. Thanks!


Now, I guess I can start thinking about slamming!

BJ, what are they made of? I'm hoping aluminum (since the stock ones are), but I'm not holding my breath).

Pictures will be up soon.........very soon.....
We are just trying to get everything finalized.
Yes they will be adjustable on the car.......no shims will be needed such as the JIC arms.
Caster is not adjustabe through the arms alone.......but if we go ahead with the adjustable bushings we do have for the control arms then it will be.
We are looking at redesigning the adjustabe bushings we have to see what we can do on that. The adjustable bushings would be additional $.
The bushings we are using will be a delrin trype material with al. inner sleeve.
The arms are CNC'ed billet al.

I believe the other ones that are coming are priced a little higher than ours. in the 900-1200 range and require shims to adjust camber.

I'm holding you to your next week deadline to provide us with photos.

Can't wait to see these UCAs, especially since they won't use shims...

Will these a arms correct the problem with the front tires cupping and making a lot of noise?I just got the car back last night.They did what the tsb said by switching the tires and realigning to new *****,but from what I read,the noises will come back.Any information that you can give would be great!


Thanks!

With our front arms you will be able to easily adjust the front camber of the 350Z to the ideal setup your looking for.

Didn't they work? December 20 2003

Cheers Amy -

How about a California Test Car.. No snow here.. Rear Camber adjusters by Wld350Z work wonders.
