I had this discussion with John back in MAY. There was a failure of a pair of the arms which was badly bent in the centre. I suggested the application of these is fine but you must remove any forward/aft movement of the arm. The pivoting action of the arm doesnt remove the need to eliminate back and forth movement.

In fact the member who had the issue removed them and returned them to UAS. Refitted the Original genuine Midori arms and as I saw as he was adjusting them, found they where in fact BENT AS WELL. But to a lesser extent.

As the UAS arms are solid bearing exactly like other upper arms including original Midori style. This movement WILL BUGGER/BEND ALL OF THEM JUST THE SAME.

The only way to eliminate forward/aft impact movment is via rose jointed tension rods. Expect to bend ANY of the aftermarket bearing based arms unless you have these.

The only arms that can be used with bushed tensioned rods are those which has urethane/rubber inserts in them like the Stillen for example. As the bearing can take some for/aft impact movement within the rubber bush and cushions the bending force exerted on the centre section of the arm.

Well there you go. Something that i never thought about back in the day when we bought the front end suspension gear.

Also. 3 year long thread. wow.
