And one more thing and this has to do with buying used parts. I got a great deal on these UCA's no doubt but being bare arms they needed all the mounting hardware. When I picked them up I could check that all the heims were in good shape that mount to the shock buckets but the larger balls that attach to the spindle would not move so easily. One of them checked out to be fine once I put some leverage to it and a little lubricant but the other was marred up around once edge which kept the ball from articulating. I'm pretty sure this was the result of not using limiting straps to keep the arms from falling so low that the spindle would hit.
