I installed this RUCA. Bought it from ssautochrom for $100, this is made in Korea by Motoria. I am a little disappointed at the build quality. It is very neatly welded and finished but problem is that each RUCA pieces are different in sizes by 1mm at the most. Having been very satisfied at their cat back, this is a disappointment.
My problem right now is that I am not familiar with this adjouster on this ruca. What tool do I have to use to adjoust this RUCA?

Is that what you are talking about? I can't tell from your crappy picture.

If it is, then I'd say you adjust it with the 2 nuts and threaded insert. What tool? A couple of wrenches should do the trick.
BTW, "Dissapointment in SSAutochrome Quality = Understatement of the year." You must not have researched this company much before making your purchase.

That is what I am talking about.
I researched this company. But how much option does an individual buyer have when it comes to researching a manufacturer besides checking out their website and trying their products out? As I told you that I have Motoria's cat back, I trusted this company because of the cat back. The differences in the lengths is not a big deal as long as the RUCA's heim joint don't break soon. Only future will tell.

Good luck to you, then. Hopefully you got a rare gem when it comes to SSA parts.

By Any chance, are you guys saying that that piece in yellow circle should be threaded on the other side of the RUCA?
I don't understand how you could adjust the nuts on the threaded side. There is not enough access and the nut is locking nut so turning it either way won't change the camber. Sorry for being dumb. This is my very first time swapping RUCA.

Install it.
Let someone else align it. It's obvious you're not capable, and you won't be able to even get it close anyway without an expert.

Don't you see it is already installed, Smartguy?

i would think you would grip that with a cresent wrench so it doesnt spin, and turn whatever nut/bolt is on the other side...

on the other side of that same end of the ruca. You seriously weren't curious about playing with the adjustable pieces before you installed?

I was curious of course but what is the use of curiocity when your brain is total blank about the adjoustable piece?
I was expecting an installation instruction with that white box with motoria logo on it. SSAC only delivered the two RUCA pieces in a card board boxes. Not even with a copy of the invoice.

I don't think he would have said same word twice with long space between them.

I have the battle version RUCAs for my S13, and they are constructed with only one arm, rather than that 'O' shape like the Motoria hardware.
Any idea if the arm rounds the front or back of my springs??
No help on the website...

Holy fuck, you can't read either. You asked how to adjust it, right? I said "Install it, let SOMEONE ELSE align it. The key words here being someone else, IE not you, and align, which would correlate with adjust. You shouldn't adjust it, let someone else more qualified do it. This is for several reasons:
1) You don't have a proper camber/toe gauge to make sure your adjustment is accurate, and eyeballing isn't even remotely close.
2) You're a moron, apparent from:
a) You can't read.
b) You bought an adjustable suspension piece, looked at it, and couldn't figure out how it works.
c) Even after having numerous people explain how it works, you're still confused.
3) Aligning it yourself could cause serious adverse handling, leading to loss of control. This could potentially:
a) Cause property damage.
b) Cause injury, death, or dismemberment to someone else.
c) Cause the above to yourself.
Now I honestly wouldn't care if you killed yourself, but other people don't deserve to pay for your stupidity.
