Digging up the thread yet again. Stupid question for y'all; what does the DJM UCA do? I've seen it mentioned helping camber adjustment for decranked keys.........
TIA

It helps camber adjustment.

I prefer just doing the belltech offset bushings and keys though.

Cool- thanks Atomic, guess I'll address that when I get there. Lemme ask you a question; lowering keys and decranking has been frowned upon by too many to remember claiming lousy ride and unalignable. I'm citing a hash ride by riding on the unyielding bump stops and, I can see camber becoming unrecoverable at a certain torsion bar droop point which is my understanding that these bushings you mention help to recover. Is that a fairly concise snapshot of what we're looking at here.................
TIA

At a certain drop or lift, the factory range of adjustment is shifted too far over. The UCA is slightly shorter or longer to put the adjustment cams back into their range. The offset bushings to the same thing by the hole not being in the center of the bushing it pushes the UCA further out or can bring it in.
