Z1 front upper camber arms installed

Wonka2581 · 03-17-2016, 09:50 AM

Good to hear, my install pretty much went the same way.

But I'm still having issues with mine. My arms are making terrible noise.. I have greased and regreased and to no avail.. Are you having this issue as well??

Did you get the race or street arms? I am running the race arms and haven't had any issues with noise so far, only been running them for about 50 miles. Maybe check to make sure everything is still torqued?

Maybe over torqued? I'd get a lot of noise from control arms on my jeep if I over torqued on the bushing.

That's horrible noise have you tried calling Z1 and ask?
Why waste money to make your z sound like it's falling apart.

Good thing I did not consider buying this. Stuck with the oem arms, aluminum lightweight and works perfectly.

Just thought of this but did you replace the bolts on the power steering res.? Maybe the original bolts aren't clearing and are getting hit?

Well my drivers side ball joint JUST BROKE. I just put these on a few weeks ago very few miles. Not looking very good for Z1's upper control arms.
Thinking I should have spent the money on SPL's.

What sort of noise are we talking about here... a hum or a crunch?
