Gotta go Faster
Was wondering if anyone had the angles for the UCA and LCA on a stock Boss 302....

@Grant 302, 23/32" lower in the FRONT (chassis side)?
What was the GT500 UCA angle?This is interesting. Doing some research and found that the GT500 LCA angle is also more towards squat then you would ever expected....
My guess is that Ford inclined the LCAs the way they did for axle roll-steer reasons. When the LCAs incline uphill (going from the axle to the chassis) the axle starts steering the rear of the car wide in a corner as the car approaches a set. Norm
Sort of. When you go after big antisquat numbers by inclining the LCAs uphill from the axle, the axle steer goes from mildly understeerish to some amount of oversteerish. The steeper you make the uphill LCA angles, the more oversteerish the axle roll steer effect gets.Sorry am little confused, you mean as Roll over steer with the antisquat vs the squat that Ford puts in (angle downhill from the axle)?
↑↑↑ reads a lot differently from the emailed notice of reply to topic. What are you trying to fix? Measurements to the LCA attachment bolt centerlines would clear up the matter of inclination, and from there a better estimate of axle roll steer as a number could be made.
Are your LCAs OE? If not, do you know if they still converge slightly with the axle ends closer together than the chassis ends?

Not quite sure that makes sense. If you lowered the car~ 1.5" in the back, and are using ~3" lower rear lca connection, I would guesstimate that you have an upward angle of over ~2° to the front.
