just wondering if any body are runnin these,thinkin about ordering these things,are they any good,do they help u hook up at all.
CHE? Never heard of em. Why are they good? Are they adjustable? When I'm aligning the car, are there any special things to be aware of or do I just stick to basic camber, caster, toe adjustments?Thrust angle?How do you know what the right angle is for lcas with a relocation bracket?
This thread is about rear control arms, no camber/caster/toe adjustments. The reason why they are so good is because the use high tensile steel round tube, custom made bushings not off the shelf, bushings are made by injection mold not pour mold which yields a stronger unit. No grease fittings they are lubed by a sleeve of Delrin. The Delrin sleeve also allows the steel sleeve to float so there is no bushing binding which gives you a smoother ride.

I ordered a set of these and they should be delivered today.
Was wondering if J&M could provide any input on this thread: http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/in...e-extreme-joint-upper-and-lower-control-arms/

"The biggest problem with this type of joint is. It has to be adjusted as it wears. If its not adjustable. Then in a very short time of street driving. They start to clunk.
If its a street car. Then i wouldn't run this type of control arm. I would get one recommended for the street. I adjust mine about every three months. Its an 2007 with 10K miles. Just to give an idea of the maintenance required to run these control arms. One big problem is i don't believe the J&M's are adjustable. "
Hey Brian-
I was hoping you could answer another question as you seem to be very knowledgeable about this stuff.
I have plans to lower my stang in the future. I thought I would merely need rear relocation brackets for the rear LCA's and an adjustable UCA.
However, I was told that bind could sill occur if the rear LCA's were also not adjustable.
As you are aware, the Extreme joint LCA's are non adjustable - but I have been VERY pleased with their performance. Do I have to buy adjustable rear LCA's to get a correct geometry when the vehicle is located?
Post for reference: LCA relocation bracket adjustment - Mustang Evolution
Thanks.
Suspension bind has nothing to do with the upper or lower arms being adjustable. The only time we recommend adjustable lowers is if you swapped out to an aftermarket rear end housing or you are only racing the car.
