Light Racing 100 Series/LX470 UCA Group Buy @ Metal Tech

[FlammableFishie]

Just for clarity for anybody having a hard time with it: it's LR (those are capital letters without a space in between) [space] (yes, push the space bar just once) 100 (that's numbers one zero zero without spaces).

Killer deal on these, wish it was within budget right now but I've got other suspension components to focus on first

Nice to see real ball joints
Are the bushing made of poly or rubber(OEM)?

[SALTY METHODS]

I purchased a set. I'll post pics once I get them.

Looking good guys. One of the few good things about the fact that the 100 series is aging as a platform is that our aftermarket options seem to be growing exponentially. Keep em coming!

Sale ends on January 10th for those that are still interested in getting some LR UCA's for a killer deal.

Good thing my UCAs were possibly just damaged! Fingers crossed that insurance picks these up

Nice. I'm still bummed about not getting in on the sliders deal on Cyber Monday, though.

 

[SmoothLC]

^^ I'm with you. I should've jumped on that deal when I got the email. Would have made a nice Christmas present.

Oh - and if there's another deal on them, PM me (and vice versa) and we can save on shipping.

 

[phsycle]

Sounds like a plan.

MT - Any deals on your sliders coming up?

Uh oh! Somebody hit you?

I'm assuming from the lack of /s that you're serious.

Things got a little wonky.

Dang man. And yes, serious. With the holidays and all I'm lacking in my MUD reading. Must have been in another thread off the page.

Done.

Just hit 150k miles and I'm way overdue for a major front end service. Yesterday I ordered all the front and rear sway bar bushings, brackets, links, retainers, etc. . With the Light Racing/SPC UCAs, I hope to eliminate the random torque steer, excessive body roll, the slop around curves, the random clunk going over bumps, etc., etc.,etc....

The upper control arms fix that stuff? Ever since installed the SC I def get some pretty major torque steer.

Better alignment and replacing worn swaybar hardware = more torque steer? sheesh I hope not. If so, then I guess I'll have to start tinkering with the steering rack and tie rods.

 

[2000UZJ]

Torque steer is a culprit of a lifted rig. Longer shocks, aftermarket UCA's and anything else won't change torque steer. The steering rack gets folded up like a pretzel and the tie rods see some pretty steep angles at full throttle. This allows the front wheels to track slightly different due to the loss of stability in the tie rods.

Unless you find a way to lower the steering back, or mount it upside down on the frame torque steer is going to say "hello" at the worst times. You need a part time 4WD setup to eliminate torque steer on these rigs.

 

[THEROK]

Lucky. Wish we had this for the super low volume 200s.

 

[spressomon]

Worn rear UCA bushings will contribute to torque steer...typically around 150k.

Light Racing does have 200 series UCA's
