Default Pbm SAK with knuckle

Hey how’s it going? New to the forum so hopefully this is within the right spot. I need some advice. I have pbms super angle kit, uca, and their knuckle and I’ve ran into a few issues with installing it. The first issue is that the uca seems like it’s too far out and will hit once it is under load. The second issue is that I have almost not clearance between my sway bar links and my coilovers. I’ve spent hours searching for proper guides or write ups but all i have found were write ups where they have only installed the lower parts. Has anyone install all three parts before and if so, what do I need to do? Thanks in advance!

SPL end links should give you a bit more clearance. For the UCAs, its all meant to work as a system with the knuckle...are they fully extended? Have you been able to baseline it?

I’ll look into the SPL links, appreciate that. As far as I can tell the UCAs are at the shortest length the could be. Everything is connected as a whole but not secured, if that makes sense. I’m honestly just trying to get it to a point where I could just load it up on a trailer and bring it to a reputable shop to tweak it and align it properly.

If they are at min and correct part# and side, then its hammer time. But if you can call them do that first.

On your sway bar you can see the washer mounted on the inside, remove washer , gain 2mm of clearance. May be all you need

And the endlinks are mounted wrong, the side with the prong and washer goes to the LCA

I didn’t even notice that, thanks for the input. I didn’t think that they were ever replaced but I suppose I was wrong in thinking that.

Pbm knuckles are drop knuckles and require longer coilovers to get proper height
