Look no further than the Race Series kit. The upper housing is shorter and the upper nut is recessed to allow adequate clearance between it and the RCV Big Bell shafts. While the 2005+ axles have a broader spread between the inncer C things are a bit easier to access, but it's nice to have the extra strength if you think you may need it. Since the housing does not have adequate surface area for a press-fit this upper welds to the knuckle. It comes with a press-fit lower housing you can choose to weld in or simple press in and use the supplied C-clip to retain it on bottom like our other kits and stock joints. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNegative camber has been proven to reduce scrub in racing applications especially when locked or spooled up front, so each Race Series Kit comes standard with a 3 degree bushing.
