ROUSH Anti Wheel Hop VS. Adjustable UCA

[BadPiggy]

Which is the better of the 2?

After reading on another thread that Whiteline has recalled their Adjustable UCA's...I'm left to wonder if in my case, it's even worth changing at all. My whip currently has the ROUSH Anti Wheel Hop UCA on it, straight from ROUSH factory. ROUSH also installs their lowering springs from the factory. I've since replaced the ROUSH springs to BMR, changed LCA's to Whiteline adjustable and the Whiteline relocation brackets. I've also installed a one piece DSS driveshaft.

Since Whiteline has the recall on the UCA and I already have Adjustable LCA's which will allow me to change pinion angle, should I even bother changing the Roush UCA?

I venture to say ROUSH took into consideration pinion angle and their UCA was, I'd assume, built with that in mind...which would mean it's already setup for a lowered car.

Thoughts?

My uncle has 2010 roush 540rh....it had all the roush suspension stuff on it as well. He upgraded to a BMR upper n lowered and it was a world of difference.

If you have wheel hop change it. If you don't then there really isn't a problem unless the pinion angle is off.

Yeah my point was he had horrible wheel hop and little to no traction. He install the BMR bracket n adjustable upper with billet lowers n relocation brackets n his problem was solved. He did it all at once so no telling whateach individual piece did . He replaced probably the same equipment u had piggy.

My 08 was pretty bad. I did the lowers and there was some improvement but it didn't take care of it completely. The upper was replaced with a steeda adjustable and no more hop. That was over 4 years ago and it hasn't returned.

I started out with the Roush stage 3 suspension (a 3/4" drop) and the Roush Anti-Hop kit. When I switched to the BMR lowering springs (a 1.5" drop), I started getting noise resulting from the angle change. Switching to a BMR adjustable UCA and mount was part of the solution.
