hey guys,

i just got my alignment done yesterday after my spc front and rear camber kits were installed. However, as i drove to work this morning and went over a bump on a bumpy road, i hear a bang!! i knew it was my right camber plate coming loose. so i get to work and checked to see if it was that and it was... wheel is on max negative camber since plate slid all the way in.

is this something i should worry about, the having issues with the kit coming loose??? this is pissing me off man!! gotta go back to the shop and get them to tighten it right back up!!! getting them to fix the alignment wont be an issue, just wondering if this is something that a few are going through????

Again, just got it installed and aligned for the first time...

Thanks,
German

 

Tighten it to 120 ft/lbs as the directions state and this shouldn't happen.

 

gonna have to mention this to the alignment guy. the left one is just fine. heard a big bang on the right side this morning that really woke me up. lol... hope this hasnt damaged anything...

 

Ok guys... I really need ur help on this one... Just got to th shop and th guy test drove my car... It appears as if th ball joint at th top, th thing that allows u to adjust camber at top, might be hitting underneath... Th car was aligned to th correct specs... What's going on??? Please help!!!!!

Th car is not bottomin out since height is independent from th damping... Im not even slammed either.... Please shine in... Car is about to be lifted at th shop in a few minutes...

Again, I have th spc front and rears... Having issues w th fronts....

Im dropped on tein flex btw..

 

Hey, can anyone help on this matter?? I did reseach and it appears that the revised part is #72130 which is the one i got but it is hitting the fender from the bottom... th older arm part is #72135... why am i having this issue??

 

Reverse the ball joint as it mounts on the arm.
You should see "SPC" on the ball joint while looking at it from the outside.

The caster plate on the top should have the rounded edges to the outside also.

This is also the position that gets you closer to factory specs, the other way is to achieve extra negative camber, for the hellaflush kids.

 

The SPC on the ball joint is visible from the outside.
The rounded edges are towards the outside.
I have everything correct as u are stating.

 

Here a pic of the install... anything wrong??? please help fellas... did we do something wrong, should i be hitting the underneath part of the fender?

Ball joint looks right, what about the caster plate?

FYI looks like the knuckle bolt to the balljoint was over torqued.

 

ok... actually i should have this double checked.... not actually sure if it was place like that... should it be done like this, will not strike the bottom of the fender???

 

yeah not sure of the caster plate... didnt have this installed at the shop... had someone install, not sure if he noticed... he is usually good at this stuff...

what do you mean over torqued??? do you mean, its pressed to far in???? can u explain further.... and what does that cause???

 

The nut and bolt that locks you steering knuckle to the upper ball joint.

The curve of the bolt is my first indication.

 

Oh, and those red washers you stuck on both sides of the control arm's bushings.
Those are shims to be installed on top of the bumper stop on the strut shaft in case you do hit the fender.

 

ok... i see... this wont do anything though, right?

 

got u... how do they go secured?... we checked underneath and i have two marks of where th arm hit the fender...
