Default Ridetech Control Arm updates?

I haven't been able to find anything but I swear I remember either reading or being told that Ridetech was about to come out with an updated set of UCAs. I want to say it was supposed to be shortly after the first of this year.

I'm really close to pulling the trigger on the remaining pieces I need for the TruTurn now that it appears I might have necessary clearance. I also need to get a different design of UCA. So as close as I'd be I thought it might be worthwhile to just go all Ridetech up front and have an "engineered system".

Anybody got any info? Brett?

Maybe I was dreaming...

I haven't said much about the delrin bushing/caster slug cross shaft revisions yeat because I wanted to be ready to ship first. We'll be changing over the A body stuff first in a couple weeks with the early F body next around the end of May. C10 and G body come right after. I'll post images and text within a couple of weeks.

Well I guess that throws me out of the loop. Brett.

Scott, I called yesterday and left message. Greeting was generic so I wasn't sure if I got the correct number. There were too many numbers listed above so I just went with the first 10 .


Bret, any possibility that you'll be bringing some of the new arms to Nashville GG to have on display?

Brett, I have the new arms and out of the box, with your spindles, I end up with about 3 degrees of positive camber. I am looking at having to use 3/4" shim stack to get any sort of alignment out of this setup. Please advise. Thanks.

Ok so I'm a tad bit disappointed that I haven't owned my Strong Arms for 6 months and you guys are doing a complete redesign... I had hoped the cross shafts would at least be upgradable. I still love your products! Any chance in there being a trade in/trade up program? Are you guys redesigning the lower arms too? Will the TruTurn dimensions stay the same for the new arm or is it changing too?
