Message I am reinstalling the OEM UCA using the 300 Degree Camber Compensation Kit. After removing the Adjustable UCA I compared the the bolt-to-bolt distances, eg. the effective length of the UCA. The difference in length is approx 0.70". However the 300 Degree Kit only provides for a shim of o.30".

I was thinking about doubling up on the 0.30" shims which are inserted between the fender well and the UCA Bracket. A correction of 0.60" will allow the upright to come closer to the distance needed to adjust my camber to the correct settings based on the recent alignment using the Adjustable UCAs.


There is enough thread to cover the bolts after adding the extra shim. And I have double checked that there is no interference between the nearby coil spring and UCA throughout the range of motion of both parts might travel under load.

My thinking is that the load on the bracket, the shim(s) and any bolts are pretty much in and out... that is perpendicular to the bracket; and that there is little, if any, sheer loads that might be affected by pushing the bracket a little further out from the wheel well wall.

My concern is twofold: Suspension Geometry; and to a lesser extant, being prudent from an engineering standpoint. I don't want to compromise the structural integrity of the UCA Bracket and UCA system.

Does anyone see a problem with extending the shims another 0.30"?
