UCA & LCA compatability between 4th and 5th gens

[alia176]

I need to make sure that I understand the compatibility between the 5th and 4th gen UCA/LCA before I purchase a set of take offs from a 5th gen. My UCAs are shot and instead of purchasing a set from Amazon, i was thinking of picking up a used set of take offs. I just upgraded the LCA bushings to Moog but wanted to keep my eyes open if a set of take offs become available.

Has anyone have any experience with Detroit Axle on Amazon? They have a 10 year warranty on their UCAs. The price is ridiculously cheap but it's the warranty that has me intrigued. My local dealership charges $33/bushing for the UCA so at $78, an entire UCA with BJs is enticing.

Oh crap, thanks for doing that. I TOTALLY flubbed up by posting in the wrong forum.

I did this on my 4th gen. details in my thread.

cam bolts on the LCA for the 5th gens. are a larger diameter so you will need to open up your cam bolt tabs with a grinder to fit the bolt sleeves. Otherwise the UCA and LCA are the same geometry and fit. 5th gens have larger bushings and some small gussets for strength.
