S13 Rear Upper Control Arm Install
17 Attachment(s)
I finally got a set of rear upper control arms in. Here's the install!
Tools needed: Jack Jackstands Crescent wrench Socket wrench Socket extension 3/4 socket 11/16 socket 3/4 wrench Breaker bar Torque wrench Small hammer Attachment 24094 ProjectNissan RUCA's Attachment 24095 The RUCA's should have been the first rear mult-link suspension part I upgraded but I didn't...Whoops! Jack the car up and put the jackstands in the appropriate places. Attachment 24096 Next you'll need to get the breaker bar to bust loose the inner control arm nut. Attachment 24097 After you bust it loose, get an extension on your wrench and the 3/4 socket to remove the inner RUCA nut. Attachment 24098 Now get the breaker bar and the 11/16 socket for the outer RUCA bolt. You'll need to use the 3/4 wrench to hold steady the outer RUCA nut while you bust it with the breaker bar. Attachment 24099 Next, you'll need to remove the lower strut nut. Attachment 24100 Small hammer Attachment 24101 Using the small hammer, gently tap out the inner RUCA eccentric bolt but before you do that you should stop and use a sharpie to mark the position that the eccentric washer was in before removal so you can put it back in the same position later. Attachment 24102 Eccentric bolt and washer. Attachment 24103 Now that you have the RUCA off you can slide it down the shaft of the strut assembly. Attachment 24104 Push the strut to the side and remove the RUCA. Attachment 24105 Take your new RUCA's and align them to the same length as the stock RUCA's. Attachment 24106 Use a crescent wrench to move the washers. Attachment 24107 Now you can put the new RUCA's into place, put your inner, outer RUCA and lower strut nut back into place. Attachment 24108 Use the crescent wrench to tighten the RUCA washers. Attachment 24109 Torque the inner RUCA bolts to 51-65 ft. lbs and the outer RUCA bolts to 57-72 ft. lbs. Replace the lower strut nut and torque to 57-72 ft. lbs. Attachment 24110 Finished! Hit up the alignment shop. |

also how good of quality are the megan and project nissan parts i was thinking about putting the same on my s13
|
I've only had the toe rods and traction links on for about 2 months but I haven't had any problems yet. I haven't driven on the ProjectNissan RUCA's yet but I'll let everybody know how they perform as soon as I do.:bigok:

Copied to the FAQ section.

nice write-up, i installed mine a couple months ago...cant really tell a difference other than the adjustability..but the quality seemed good for the price
|

Took a drive last night but like motegineon said, I can't really tell much of a difference. Maybe a little more stable.
