I was so close to buying this. Glad I'm not one of the test subjects.

Hmmm, i see you guys reporting similar issues even w/ the new bolt & loctite.

To this point, mine seem to be ok still. No clunking, no squeaking, nada.

I even took her for a 'spirited' run in the twisties.

Man, this is not good.

:confused::mad:

I replaced the bolt and used copious amounts of the thread locker Z1 sent me.

Arrggh I will be contacting Z1 again to see what they say about this on going issue.

This is not something I want to have to worry about and redo over and over again.

Really anxious to hear what they had to say.

This sucks bro sorry to hear I don't daily my car, but I hit a pretty big bump the other night and the arms are still tight. I have an alignment on Wed so I'll have them double check to see if that bolt has loosened up, but right now it's still tight.

If you're married to the Z1 arms, drill a hole through the thread and use a castle nut with cotter key. You know, old school...

I had the shop use the loctite that Z1 suggested and they reused the bolt that came loose when they did the repair. I am thinking maybe the bolt was dirty from the previous thread locker. So when the bolt came loose this time I used the new bolt Z1 sent me and made sure the threads it screws into were super clean and used copious amount of the loctite. Fingers and toes crossed this fixes it for good.

Spencer has been very forthright and said if they come loose again he is more then willing to give me a full refund no problem.
Unhappy they seem to have problems, but I am satisfied on how Z1 is handling the situation.

I've got a track day this Sunday. That should be a good test:eekdance:

I'm not having a problem with my bolts coming lose... My issue is where the bushings meet the frame.. There's still that God awefull noise of them rubbing....:confused:

You could safety wire it too.

I almost bought this.

Thanks for the review

Same here! I have been following this for a while and just about ordered them and saw the issue that started happening. To bad I was hoping for a solid product..

I was thinking about them for a while as well, ended up going with SPL arms instead.

I hate you:icon17:

Yeah man, that was a blast. Don't know if I'll make Fontana next month but, I'll be back out at Willow next opportunity.

Congrats on your lap time. I bet next time we'll both be down close to 130, 131:tup:

See you out there. Nice meeting you.
