Exactly. The same guy that can fail my car for state inspection, doesn't know how to align it. Make it make sense. I'm just saying that out of frustration, and I've been in that situation before. Felt like I made an educated decision and wound up being the wrong choice. I'll get it figured out...

Ok, that makes more sense.

No need to apologize, you posted good information to be considered. There isn't enough adjustment in the SPC uppers? That defeats the purpose of adjustable uppers.

I know it is. My frustration is that after spending the money on good parts, alignment shops in my area won't align an old car. So now I have to buy the tools and learn how to do it. Both of which aren't terrible things, it's just more money and time that I don't have an abundance of. I had...

This is what I'm here for. Thank you for taking the time to measure and map out the difference between A and FMJ knuckles. I've had a suspicion that the FMJ knuckles have been part of the problem with how bad my car drives. I ran them with the stock uppers, torsion bars, lowers, strut rods, and...

Yeah, when it had the stock torsion bars it felt like a boat. The KYBs I put on with the bigger torsion bars made it feel like a low rider with cut or torched springs.

I know it was worse with the KYB shocks that were on it. It improved with some generic shocks I had in the garage. I plan on getting Bilsteins in the future, just want to get the alignment right and have the car drive somewhat decent.

I'm glad they gave you a full refund on the UCA's. If I was the original purchaser I would try to return them, but I bought them used.

Thank you posting this, it's a lot to process and think about. What you said about trying to prevent rolling by using heavier sway and torsion bars really stood out. Theoretically it would work, but it would make the car miserable to drive on the street. To be honest, I'm considering going down...

I bought them used, so I have no idea when they were made. They didn't look very old or used for very long. Yeah, it's pretty much a guessing game without having a known good UCA. Thanks for letting me know the reason for the UBJ location change.

Thanks for taking the time to look into this. It would be interesting to know the reason for the change in the ball joint position.

If I'm not mistaken, a couple of guys in Kern Dog's thread said there was a bad batch of PST arms that weren't jigged up correctly. I don't know if PST offered replacements or refunds, but that train has set sail.

It was your thread that got me thinking about this. I sold my original uppers before realizing there might be a problem with the PST arms.

Yes, those were the numbers I had to work with. I didn't try to adjust the stock UCA's, so I don't know for sure if it's a problem with the car or the control arm. I read Kern Dog's post and that's what got me thinking that the arms are not the same.

I could drill them for the grease zerks and make delrin bushings if necessary.
