Zone UCA Q's

[blu3s94]

So Installed the zones yesterday, currently getting an alignment right now. My local auto parts store only had a needle style torque wrench. It was very difficult to see if I torqued the arms right, if anything I think I went too far. Is it ok to back them off and retorque with a clicker AFTER THE ALIGNMENT has been done??? I'm having the alignment done right now, planning to just buy a clicker torque after this.


Also the zones are extremely close to the strut tower, like 1/8" close. I offset the ball joints to the rear and longer arm is toward the front of vehicle. Can someone else confirm that's correct and theres are also close to strut tower frame?? Thank you!!

I think you should be fine loosening them a little to torque them again. Mine are the same closeness.

Awesome, at first I thought I installed them wrong and almost started to take them off. Glad I didn't! Lol. Can't believe they made the tolerance that close though!

Do the Zone UCAs have the mounting points to connect the brake lines to?

EDITED TO ADD:

Finally was able to speak to someone at Zone. They do not have any bracket or tang or hole drilled to accept the stock plastic ABS retainer clip.

FYI, the person I talked was also same cust. service rep for questions regarding BDS stuff. He confirmed (as many of you already know) that both companies are co-owned and share the same manufacturing facilities, other locations, and employees.

BDS DOES have an attachment point for ABS lines.

Also spoke to Icon Vehicle Dynamics. Icon delta Joint UCA's do NOT have an attchment point either.
