Tubular upper arms-I feel lucky tonight

efriedrich said
I just got a new disc break conversion kit yesterday from a company and when I opened it up to my horror were a set of Cap tubular UCA's.They were supposed to be the stamped UCA's like the OEM ones. When I called the company they said the correct ones were on back order and they were substituting these. I told them I didnt want them and they promptly gave me a UPS return authorization number to ship them back and they are going to give me my money back for the Cap product. How ironic, I have been following this story all week and chose to go with the stamped UCA's because of it, and when I finally get my breaks I was mortified to find these frigin things instead. Now I need to decide what I want to do for UCA's.

If you are determined to use tubular upper control arms find some that are actually designed so that they are specific to the car. Meaning that they actually fit where you run your two bolts thru at the mounting point on the back side.So many of these tubulars are not as wide as the stock units so you have to use washers to make up the difference.Mopar 340 dave said he thought at least one of the brands were the same width as the stock ones.Maybe he will chime in.
