I was under my car this weekend and found my SPC rear passenger camber arm has a blown bushing.

A short search for a replacement bushing led me to a new offering:

Looks like the SPC # 72052 is an arm with a forged end and utilizes their sealed X-axis "monoball like" joint.

Has anyone tried these yet?

I got a set of those installed, replaced the OEMs only because I needed to get the rear end aligned. Those arms are very beefy in comparison to the OEMS. I haven't noticed any difference but am very happy with them, replacing tires due to uneven wear is not cheap.

I have installed 3 sets so far. The bushing is nice and the only reason I recommend SPC arms now, so much better than their old junk.

Awesome. I just ordered a set and hoping they come in for this weekend so I can realign the car.

I just installed the arms today. Much better than the 1st version SPC arms.

Because they don't have the shall bend like the stock / version 1 arms they are a bit closer to the sway bar when the suspension is unloaded.

I'd say i've got about 1.25" between the arms and the swaybar, have you had any issues with the two contacting?

No issue, even on the car with air suspension

Yesterday I got the arms installed and realigned the car.

The camber adjustment was noticeably easier as there was now compliance in the subframe articulation point (still have urethane bushings in the spindle).

The next Autocross event is next weekend and it'll be interesting to see if this blown bushing had any part of my car's of throttle over steer issue.

Are SPL usable on the road ?

Yes, but the joints can wear out faster depending on your local conditions
