hey guys whatsup, Ive got a couple steering related problems ever since i replaced my oem front UCA last week. i got some DNA adjustables to match the ones in the back. my problems are
1) it pulls to the right now, rather bad but manageable, and
2) when im turning right, theres like a "dead spot" in the steering where turning the wheel does nothing. not to bad, manageble to annoying and concerning. the only other recent related mods ive done was i converted my p/s to manual steering, but im not sure it has anything to do with my issues as its worked beautifully, and my issues started right after the UCAs got installed (on the test drive). so H-T, any ideas/thoughts? i feel like maybe the UCA's might be sliding around and thats why i get that dead spot, if that makes sense. thanks in advance guys

 

Did you get an alignment after you put on your adjustable control arms?

 

no, i wasnt aware the UCAs affected alignment that much, i thought that was a tie rod thing. are you referring to aligment as in steering or wheel positioning? (if that makes sense lol)

 

Both.

Take it to a shop and get it aligned. Explain to them what is going on.
