Actually if you have other Upper control arms then stock, or even just swapped uca bushings, you don't really need them. In stock form they are needed becuase of all the slop the factory suspension has, to allow for a more comfortable ride. Stock the bushing compress, slide and give enough where the axle can start to wrap over, creating wheel hop. When poly bushings, or sphericals are swapped, they eliniate that slop, so the axle can't roll over itself. Then the quads are just weight.
