LAVIsH, your running negative camber on one side and positive on the other?? Why?


saru, what are you looking for? I'm running -3 degrees in the front just from being lowered (stock control arms).

saru

Wheel tuck. I picked up a set of 19x10 -18 fronts and 19x10 -28 rears. I'm lowered but still not running much negative camber. I'm rolling and pulling the fenders but going to need a little more then that and was thinking I could get something adjustable with more adjustablity then that.

LAVIsH

to compensate for my weight i weigh 225 so the driver side is like .5 positive to level out i dont ride no one shot gun or in the back

LAVIsH

FAIL

so today as i was leaving a house this happened ,some how the lock nut on the camber kit came off F ing BIG O TIRES didnt tighten my nut down and this happened im glad it happen in a residental area then on the free way

Durrr

yeowch... glad you're ok and it was in a low speed area, but.......

You do realise that you put this spacer in upside down?
Even in your first pic the supplier had it the right way.
Not only will this wear the rose joint as it rubs it, it binds up and will snap the thread.
Was there no instructions?>

LAVIsH

there was no instructions and the arms were assembled jus as i applied them on as i asumed that, that was the way there supose to be what kinda pisses me off is if you knew all this time since April that i installed them wrong what happen to giving me a heads up you were on this thread all that time arguing the fact rose joint FAIL blah blah blah and i had pics of my install up for everyone to see and review AND now u tell BTW there backwards thanks MATE for the great knowledge and tech info buddy buts kinda too late ! sorry to flame i know its my lack of knowledge that could have caused a major fail but here on club lex we are all a family and we try to look out for each other

LAVIsH is correct,
shame on you cazman for not warning the clublexus member here after you knew it was installed wrong. How could you do that to another clublexus "bra?!"

well if that failed under daily driving then i wouldnt even try it on the track.

this f-cker would fail in one drift day in my hands

glad to hear youre okay but nevertheless you get what you pay for.

Wow, looks slick but Heim joints on a street car? They wouldn't hold up to the abuse (dirt moisture and potholes) and the time intervals between checkup, not to mention they wouldn't gradually fail- they'd snap. Stock ball joint assembly is much much stronger, I think I'd pass.. Unsafe.

probably a good reason why ikeya still stuck with balljoints for their upper arms.

BattleVer

There is nothing wrong with using heim joints on a street car if they are good and used right. But cheep knock off joints on knock off arms, then you have problems. You get what you pay for.

Any more pics?Was considering buying those.How do they ride.

RANDY P

Maybe for a throttle linkage. On the suspension of a let me rephrase - "a daily driven street car" Like I said, pass.

Ricer move to install those.

it has nothing to do with daily driven or not. if it is a quality joint it will hold up to the abuse.

are you seriously trying to say that a formula car or a rally car puts less stress on its suspension components then a street driven car?

i wouldnt use those particular arms but if built right with something like aurora or skf components it will be fine.

if youre not convinced go on a mcmaster or aurora bearing website and look up specs for different rod ends and heim joints.
