After installing my DIY Frankie, I was having UCA to Spring contact at full droop (like when I would hit potholes or speed bumps) We all know that is not a good thing. So that is why I had requested a busted UCA from anyone on here. I was hoping to come up with a way to remove the OEM ball joint, and put a Moog UBJ on there that allowed for camber adjustment. After looking at it for a while, I concluded that was not an easily do-able idea. But I COULD extend the arm by replacing the rubber bushing with a new one that had an offset hole. So here are a few shots of what I came up with. The black material is ABS plastic. The center has a steel bushing press-fit into it. I have had these in for about 2000 miles so far and they are holding up just fine. I pulled them yesterday to inspect, and they look great so far. My initial concern was vibration or rough ride since I was replacing the rubber bushing with a hard plastic. But they ride great. I effectively extended the control arms by 1/4". It was just the right amount to eliminate the UCA to spring contact I was having. Rides great now.
So what do you think?
