SPC UCA setup

[Tex68w]

Any suggestions or pointers on how to initially install and setup the SPC UCA's? My shop installs lifts but they don't mess with alignments so I want to make sure that they have the UCA's in a safe position so that I can drive from there to my alignment shop afterwards. I know these SPC's aren't straight forward like most UCA's and have quite a bit of adjustment and options and I simply don't want things to go wrong in between lol. Thanks in advance for any help.

Set the front and rear LCA cams neutral, set the SPC caster to +1, and use the SPC UCA adjustment to get the camber close to neutral (eyeball it or use a level). Then any shop should be able to align using just the factory LCA cams

Bumping this thread as I'm moving my SPC UCA's over to my new 200 and I didn't do the original install. I'm pretty sure I've seen a post here or maybe a YouTube vid showing how to remove/install the long bolts but I can't find them now. I recall that there is something tricky with that in terms of access/clearance for removal.

Also, I think the SPC UCAs use the OEM long bolts. I assume this because I do not have any long bolts in the box that I put the OEM UCAs in. is this correct or do I need to hunt down OEM bolts?

On the driver's side, I undo the battery tie-down (but not the cables) and shift it as far toward the fender as I can. There is one harness retainer that must be unclipped to make room for the bolt to move forward.

On the passenger side, as I remember it it's mostly the power steering soft lines that are in the way. They clip into the inner fender with some tabs that can be accessed through the slots in the fender liner that give airflow to the SAIS pumps. Get those loose and maybe a harness? and the bolt will slide forward enough to clear the spring perch and arm.

One trick.. as the bolt slides forward, keep the washer against the UCA bushing. Don't let it move with the bolt. There is room to move the bolt head but not with the washer..

I followed this video for my UCA install.
