Does anyone know about a stamped arm(non adjustable)that's manufactured with the ball joint moved for more positive caster? I mean the OEM arm has no welds to fail!

Your point is well taken. Contrary to what most, I believe feel, I am unconvinced ANY of the aftermarket UCA's offer improved rigidity over the OEM UCA, welds or not. Their main attributes are the better caster mentioned, and extra clearance for coil over options, IMO. And the cost of stamping an improved OEM UCA likely is not cost justifiable for our market just to gain caster.

Besides, om the quality UCA's, no welds have been reported to be failing in normal use.

I also am a believer one can improve typical aftermarket CA's for rigidity, case in point, Pic #7:

Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.

I talked to Magnum Force 2 weeks ago. They just moved from CA to NV. I bought an XRT suspension 6 years ago and just recently found out the sway bar arms were too short. They are supposed to be be calling me back with a price for the correct arms. Still waiting.... At that time they were just setting up new shop???

Wonder if they moved to escape the BULLSHI* regulations and taxes of this state.
I'm no fan of this company but if they left for those reason, I applaud them. The assclow Liberal politicians here are chasing the middle class and the small business people away and they don't seem to either understand why or care.

The Smith family (Pro Trans) just moved their business to Texas for many reasons you mentioned. I’ll miss not having them a few short hours drive away.

You and me both.

On another note. My back half was done by Hansens race cars and he has done many Superstock cars over the years (mine is set up like the Heli-Hemi Dart he did years ago) and he is pretty forthcoming about front end set up. Those cars are surprisingly stock. He has shared that, while being a gentleman about it, the stock Mopar technology is hard to beat. I used QA1 stuff on the front of my car and we aligned it like a stocker except we shortened the lower strut rod (its adjustable) slightly and achieved 8 degrees of caster with the car 1/4" off the bump stop. I am very happy with the quality of the QA1 front suspension.

That's a well-known fact.
