Just curious couldn't seem to find anything in regards to this specifically.

I know LCA are a good upgrade. I go to the track a dozen or more times a year and want to know if Adjustable LCA's are worth it or if just getting non-adjustable is good for my uses.

seriously... you found nothing on LCAs? For real???????????????????



also please review the posting rules, your question is not tech, moved.


And to the answer YES, well worth the upgrade... it allows you to adjust your pinon angle

1st Sorry for posting in the wrong spot.
2nd i couldn't find anything in regards to if it was worthwhile to get the adjustable over the non-adjustable.

Typically, a fixed length LCA is the way most go, and what I usually recommend.

I try to force my customers to go that route, and use an adjustable UCA to adjust pinion angle.

That said, if you want a "perfect" thrust angle, you may need adjustable LCA. Get the car on an alignment rack and check for thrust angle. I believe the "spec" - which I do not agree with BTW.....is like .50 to -.50

I usually say "it's good" at around .25 to -.25

Hope that helps.
