Message it's motion is, you'll notice that it doesn't just want to rotate along the 2 bolt points, but it also needs to rotate (albeit, a relatively small amount) around it's center section.

The stock upper A-arm allows for this by using a bushing through the bolt points, so the arm can twist. In fact, these bushings do wear out after time and replacement factory upper A-arms are stupidly priced. Most people go after market for the adjust-ability, but this has always been a problem with them.

The Z1 units also have a bushing, so theoretically, it should work well. However, I don't feel like being their guinea pig, R&D tester, etc, with something so critical to safety, especially with how their stuff has worked out in the past, as well as previous customer relationship issues that I personally and countless others have had.
