i was replacing the ball joint boot on the upper arm when i noticed the bushings had been torn and where the arm is supposed to stay at, moved forward towards the front of the car. at least i found the rubbing noise and bad alignment problem ive been having.









how can i fix this or am i SOL and have to get a new kit?

 

You can probably replace the bushings.

 

That's what I would think. Did your stock upper control arms have similar bushings? If so, you might be able to use those, or get some from the dealer. If not, check with Skunk2.

 

When you installed the camber kit, did you tighten those bolts while the car was on the ground, or when it was up on the jack? Make sure when you install any type of bushing that is going to have a load placed on it, tighten it when the load is on it. If you tighten it when the car is jacked up, and then lower it, that bushing wants to twist back to it's original position. In turn breaking your bushings. It's a real pain in the ars to do, but it is possible, if you can find a drive up lift.

 

damn that sucks. i just put on ym camber kit not to long ago just like that...

 

Yeah, i'd loosen those bolts and put your car back on the road so the tires are at least on the ground as much as you can, while still being able to get to those bolts, and then tighten them up. At least that way, they won't want to twist as much and last a lot longer that way.

 

problem already fixed months ago though, replaced with energy suspension bushings and all is good, steering is definitly tighter feel to it with urethane bushings

 

mine did that and i just sent the back and they sent me brand new ones, no questions asked.
