SPC rear camber arm bushing
 

So my rear camber arm bushings are shot. There is lots of negativity about SPC on here. SPC told me they have this bushing that is better than what comes with the arms originally. Has anyone tried it or do I need to just say screw it and go with SPL?

The bushing they are saying I should buy ($30 each)

Also, if you are having sketchy handling in the rear end on small bumps or uneven pavement, and have SPC camber arms, check them jokers.

Jeez. How many miles did you have on those? That shouldn't happen so fast.

go with SPL, simply a better product.

just go with spl and call it a day.. quality parts

I agree, I'm not 100% sure how many miles but no more than 10k-15k i would say.

Dear BigJ “Josh”

SPC Performance (Specialty Products) has been in business for more than 40 years and has an outstanding reputation for standing behind its products. But as you can hopefully understand, due to the popularity of our products, the customer friendly warranty policy, and the number of counterfeits out there; we must also protect ourselves and our brand.

There have been several different reports regarding how many miles your arms have on them. We can tell by the picture that they were built and sold in or before 2008. There are many reasons why bonded rubber bushings will fail. However, even if you installed them wrong, (torqued the bolts while the car was in the air) our bushings would last much longer than 15k as you reported to the forum.

To your original question, we have three levels of kits for rear camber and toe on the 370Z.

Good; 72265 replacement cams will extend the range of the OE cams for both camber and toe.

Better; 72260 is an adjustable arm and a toe cam to give you max change and easy adjustment. The extended range cam will dial in toe.

Best; 72262 is a pair of Adjustable Camber arms, with lock out plates to make sure the OE cam does not slip, and two toe cams to dial in toe after the Adjustable camber arms change toe beyond what the OE cams can handle. This arm has an xAxis™ Sealed Flex Joint pressed in a forged steal receiver for maximum strength, the performance of a mono-ball and the longevity of an OE bushing.

I ordered the bushings just to see how it turns out. Hopefully they
will be in this week and i can get realigned with new rear tires this weekend.

So the issue of the horrible handling and bald rear tires did end up being the bushings. I had a shop press them in since they require a sleeve to push them in. It sucks the SPC bushings failed but I'm just super glad this issue has been resolved and hopefully these new bushings will hold up.

dam. i'll have to check mines out to then :facepalm:. will probably just ditch spc and go with spl. have a total of about 15-20k on mines

Did you order the X-Axis ? Those look very good.

Yes I bought the x-axis bushings. They do seem pretty good so hopefully I get my monies worth out of them

Thanks for the follow-up!

After a week of driving the car is feeling great. I just hope they last.
