Default more negative camber

Im trying to get more negative camber out of my ucf10 celsior for the rears.



Currently have -5 degrees after getting my alignment shop to max it using the stock components at the lowest point.



Not too happy with that and more neg camber (around 8degrees)



Just wondering what aftermarket arms are out there



Or if there are any other compenents i could use to achieve this amount of camber?



searched online but cant really find anyone stocking parts for ucf10 (mostly ucf20s +)



thanks

this is correct, but with enough interest i'm sure they can make parts specific to UCF1X.

there is no one to my knowledge that has successfully used UCF2X arms on a UCF1X. what i've heard though is that when going more negative camber in the rear you will run into axle issues.

Our axles can't handle much camber.. Too much wear and tear for dailying. I know of several members who have broken their axles from too much excessive camber

Alright, in order then:

Because CV joints have articulation limits, running them at extreme angles GREATLY increases wear both on the ***** and fingers inside as well as the boot.

You got unlucky, I know many people running -3-4* in the rear for years without issues, it's usually when you go over 3* that you start seeing issues. Though mileage may play a role in this.

May try contacting Battle Version too, Alex is the one who made/makes all the arms for studio bold.
