Z1 front adjustable camber arms

wideglideleon · 05-08-2016, 06:14 PM

My drivers side is making clunking noise AGAIN.
Great!, I have to get in to the shop and have them look at it AGAIN!
This is getting old and inconvient as hell being my only means of transport.

My arms started making the same noise again..... But not as bad so I just not going mess with it at this point...

Got to check it last evening and yes the bolt had backed out AGAIN.
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.

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.

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.

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.
