That style of arm really isn't made to line up with the factory bump stop. You'll need to move it or replace it with something wider to capture the arm on the UCA.
This is why going with the cheapest option can end up costing you more money in the long run. The QA1 and Firm Feel tubular UCA's have provisions on the UCA arm so they contact the factory bump stop.
Thank u mine look the same
What i think i mite do is use the lower bump oe stylestops on the upper they are longer.
They are pst arms and thats not the cheapest route.
The tight "V" shape tubular UCA is the simplest design and is the cheapest to construct as far as tubular UCA's go.
But that design also has some drawbacks, namely they usually require trimming on the UCA mounting ears (that I already covered on page 1) and they don't line up with the factory bump stops. On the plus side, they give the most clearance to the inner lip of the rim at full lock.
All of those issues have been covered pretty extensively, and yeah, there are several more expensive options for tubular UCA's that address the factory bump stop issue. There are some really expensive options that don't address it either, but they're all double adjustable tubular UCA's and generally that level of modification will need something other than factory bump stops anyway.
