I ran into problems as I was trying to install the front A arms today. Apparently I need the cone looking thing where the rubber boot sits. I tried taking it out from the stock cambers but no luck. Has anyone had problems installing their front A arms before? Any input would be appreciated thanks.

 

Did you buy the arms used?

I have the Cusco front arms.

 

no I bought it from adam @ z1auto

 

That conical shaped on the bottom is what I'm missing. I tried to take it off from the stock ones but no luck. Did yours came with it? Did you have to loosen the struts to get the 2 bolts out?

 

I took mine off the stock ones. If they won't come off, go to your local auto parts store and buy a puller.

 

Ahhh I see...I went to nissan and ordered me a pair instead. I'm pissed I spent all that time and nothing was accomplished.

 

Yep, you need those aluminum bushings. My friend found out the hard way installing his too. I wonder why they don't include it in the kit... or the damn instructions!

 

I'm curious, how much were they?

 

I stand corrected, mine came ready to install, but I did by them used. I assumed that since Z1auto's site showed them with those parts installed and that mine used set came with them, they were provided.

 

The bushing? 9 bucks a piece

 

I got mine off using a gear pulller.

 

I thought all arms came with them. Looks like a pain to remove the stock ones, so good move on ordering another set. That way if you put it back to stock you don't have to pull them again.
Thankfully the SPL ones came with that part already on them.
