Yeah, I'm in contact with UB Machine trying to get this figured out. I've tried both the 14-0809-5R UCA and 14-0829-6L UCA...only on the passenger side (right side) though of my 87 GN with otherwise stock suspension. Once I get the passenger side figured out I'll do the driver's side. As Red indicated, I'm a bit concerned with the angle of the ball joint stud as it's attached to the upper spindle mount. With the stock UCA, this angle is 90 degrees (i.e. perpindicular) to the mounting plate in the UCA with the suspension loaded with the weight of the car and the wheels pointing straight ahead. With either the 0809 or 0829 UB Machine UCA, this angle is...oh I don't know...say 15 degrees off perpindicular. I don't know if this is acceptable. That's what I'm in contact with UB Machine about.
Some other info: The 0829 UCA is slightly longer (about 0.5") from shaft to center of ball joint socket than the 0809 UCA. The theory behind it is for circle track racing. The 0809 UCA goes on the right side of the car so you are better able to get negative camber. The 0829 UCA goes on the left side so you are better able to get positive camber. Only benefit would be if you like to drive in left hand circles.
For normal street/strip driving which probably 99.9% of us do, your best bet would be to use the same arm on both sides (just flipped over). Either one should work, just that the 0829 arm will require more shims to get you to 0 or just a tad bit negative camber which us street guys would prefer. I guess you could still use the 0829 arm on one side and the 0809 arm on the other with just shimming the 0829 arm more to give you equal camber and caster per side.
I wish I could post some pictures of my setup that I've been sending to UB Machine for discussion. Maybe soon according to Travis.
Anyway, as for a "bump stop" to keep the UCA from hitting the frame on full suspension drop, I just used a piece of 1' ID radiator hose and tape wrapped it onto the arm where it hits. Visible in the picture I took but can't post here.
I also made a heat shield out of 1.5" aluminum angle stock. It attaches to the UCA shaft bolts and helps to prevent the heat from the headers and downpipe from boiling the grease of the UCA shaft bushing. This too is evident in the pictures I can't post.
I'll let the board know how I make out with UB Machine and my final decision. In the meantime, I'm gonna have to figure out a way to post pictures here with a link to one of those community picture sites or something.
