Recently ordered JUST:
-Kinetix Rear Camber Arms
-SPC Toe Bolt Kit
-Energy Suspension Compression Rod Bushings (are these even there??)
-Energy Suspension LCA Bushings

Today the package came in and I received some extra parts that I guess they accidentally put in the package.

I know the large set of arms is Traction Arms, but can somebody ID the extra (or what looks to be extra, from what i understood, i should have only received 4 bushings total)

 

I don't see a camber arm, just toe arm and traction arm. Yes you have all the correct bushings.

 

camber arms are there aren't they? i think they're just not curved like most i think.

here they are on the website:

Put the metal inside and use the rubber thingies like bookends - vwalla… you have your bushings.

 

It looks like its two bushings per mounting location per side. Two bushings per side per compression rod, two bushings per side for the lower shock mount and two bushings per side per front cross member support. You should have twelve pieces of urethane and six metal inner tubes.

 

lol i knew that. but can anyone confirm the camber arms??

 

If I remember correctly from my recent install of those exact arms:

Camber arms are on the left - washer is necessary for the camber arms. Radius/Traction arms are the ones on the right. *EDIT* You know what.. I'm not sure on that… I'll go take a look at my car… *EDIT*

Remember, the SPC toe bolts go on the spring bucket arms (for toe adjustment).

You would be well served to buy a set of lockout washers for your camber arms now that they are adjustable arms - no need to allow slop from the eccentric OEM setup for the camber bolts.

*EDIT* Sorry, man. Doc has me on Hydrocodone tonight and I'm a bit looped. No moderating for me tonight. Just chatting. *EDIT*

I have no flashlight, so I can't check right this moment.

 

hmm, exactly the opposite of what CZP told me, lol.

 

Yeah, now that I think about it… the radius arms may have needed the washer to keep the bolt from slopping around. Those things were a pain to get on. I had to put one side of the bushing on first, then feed the arm and the other side of the bushing through that little hole to get it to go on. And you definitely need the ratcheting open end wrenches to get it on there due to the tight quarters.

Sorry, man… I'm usually pretty clear headed about this stuff, but I'm realizing that it might be time to put down the laptop and let the medicine knock me out.

 

ah well thanks for the help!

off topic, but i just realized that you had the roadster that was wrecked during the WFC meet.. correct? Read the sig "polite car" and remember seeing that on the side

 

Yep…

<------ She's still my avatar pic (for the next week)

I'll have pictures taken of the new coupe at ZDayz and will change my avatar then.

 

Look at Bmurray, diggin in and buying some REAL parts..
i like to see this.. good job, my how youve grown.. Hes mah speshul boy!..sniff sniff.


youve got better Ish in the front than me now, they didnt have Energy susp when i did mine..we had to walk uphill in the snow to school..

 

lol
thanks man. i just need to learn more about this suspension ish.. how hard is this to install and why don't my compression rod bushings look like the ones on CZP?

 

No washers on the Kinetix rear camber arms when I installed mine a couple weeks ago.

 

The washers are definitely for the radius/traction arms. they are necessary because of the nut design

 

Thanks for the help guys, i think i've figured it all out. now just gotta see how hard its gonna be to install all of this. probably won't be able to do the spc toe bolt because it requires drilling which i wouldn't trust myself doing.

 

Just come up with an excuse to drive to Spartanburg one weekend and we'll do it in my garage.

Or even better, call up the guys at CIN Motorsports in Charlotte, and they'll take care of you. In the words of the Mythbusters, they're "what you'd call professionals."

 

Yeah i may have to do that, lol. i kinda wanna do it myself though just so i can learn. plus the quote i got from cin was outrageous..
