help! with installing front adjustable lower control arms
I just replaced my suspension with skunk2 struts and no-name coilover sleeves and springs (is this setup usually always so harsh?) and then I replaced my upper control arms with oem replacements. I went to get an alignment, they were able to fix the toe but it looks like I have a camber issue.
-1.2 on the driver -3.5 on the passenger right
-.5 on the rear driver -.5 on the rear passenger
I know the rears are within range but the fronts are way off and not even remotely close. So since I already replaced my upper control arms and I didn't want to waste more money replacing my new upper control arms with new upper adjustable control arms, so I bought some adjustable lower control arms instead but I couldn't figure out to install them. The link below is what I purchased.
Any advice would be helpful =[ thank you!

whoever is selling that is completely wrong. not to mention you shouldn't buy off brand parts for suspension.

Re: help! with installing front adjustable lower control arms
they are upper control arm adjusters
and will suit EG / DC
there are NO adjusters for lower control arms
apart from offset caster bushes

Not to mention the quality on all the Chinese eBay parts are horrendous. Do not install them on your car unless you want those studs to break and send you into an oncoming car.

Sorry I also forgot to mention you can buy different balljoints that can adjust camber. They are usually used in accident repairs that cause either side to be different from the other.

Re: help! with installing front adjustable lower control arms
hhmm.. because for my car, there is nothing that can be adjust to fix the camber so I was looking for the cheapest/easiest way to add some camber on my car to even it out.
but i'm guessing (aside from the ball joints), that the only way is adjustable upper control arms or top hats?

Stop putting cheap parts on your car. Yes, cheap shitty springs are harsh. No, those things won't fix your problem. If you can't afford to modify your car the right way, save up more money before you buy parts.

Re: help! with installing front adjustable lower control arms
^Exactly, what's the rush? There's no reason to go cheap on your car when you can save you money a little longer a get better more quality parts. 90% of the time your just going to replace it anyways and lose money on buying cheap in the first place. there is nothing at all on my car i would buy off of ebay.
