I am, they are cheaper at a circle track store than speedway. Remember, 2 rights don't make it wrong...

20+ years ago I used UB Machine. 2 right sides.

At the time they were the cheapest and there customer service was excellent.

I would never buy anything from Speedway they are a bunch of liars and cheats.

One other thing with those uppers is that they are made to use 1/2 bolts instead of the stock metric bolts. If stock bolts are used the control arm can move and can affect the toe and caster. I opened the holes for the bolts to 1/2" and then with a small cold chisel made some spline in near the head of the bolt. The metal that rises on each side of the spline holds the bolt in place and when tightening the nuts.
