We make the absolute, not debatable, baddest S197 UCA on the planet - and you had to use the cookie cutter poly-bobo UCA for this write up?!?

Easier to show UCA lengths with fixed UCAs

Happy now?

Don't you have Camaro parts to sell?

Dammit Dylan. Demotion for you!!!

^^ohhhhhhh

Kinda choked that I didn't know that if you planned on replacing both parts, you could use the 2011+ parts.
Oh well, I'll keep what I've got.

Is the adjustable portion on the 11+ UCA's long enough, so you can get the extra 1" of length required.... when using a 11+ adj UC + mating 11+ mount...... on a 05-10 car ??

The entire point is to start the 11+ uca's are an inch longer than the previous ones. Before threaded adjustments.

I'm not really sure what you're asking here... There is no need to adjust the 11-14 UCA longer on the earlier cars. It's just a direct swap when using both the 11-14 mount and arm. If you lengthened the arm an additional inch, your pinion angle would be waaay off.

BMR'S UCA is basically nuclear-hardened.[emoji106]

Point well taken.... I was having a senior moment... semi brain dead.

The bushing assy on the 11+ UCA is HUGE vs the bushing on the 05-10 version...like apples + oranges. See 4th pix in posting #1..and also the pix on posting #21.

Great write up. I had no idea you could do that.

Is there a benefit to installing an 11+ arm and mount on an 05-10 car? Other than looking super beefy and awesome.

Looking at those tolerances on the OEM mount, I assume most of the benefit is just getting rid of that junk whether you go 05-10 or 11+...

At the moment there isn't BMR UCA bracket available for 2005 Mustang that can mount 11+ longer UCA? Why?

looks like they are available to me

Racer47 what i see in your picture is the bracket that uses short length 05-10 UCA instead of longer 11+ version.

Because the 2 use different hardware.

That bracket is the correct one for the longer link. It's on my car right now. Just call bmr if you don't understand.
