you need to remove those crap bolts, and use proper hex head bolts with star type washers. those are the main reason it slipped. i have been running the same arms for 5 years now with no issues, but i had made the proper precautions so they don;t slip. sorry.

Just get some decent grade 8 washers and hex head bolts and swap em out. I don't see any major damage. Looks to me like they werent totqued down...or you buddy buddy drove around too much before getting it aligned (and the installer had lefty them somewhat loose for the aligner.

Damn I have that kit. I really hope mine hold. Next time I get the chance I'll get new bolts.

Well there's the problem. This is the not the first time i heard about omni product failing.

I have a feeling Omni could be the next OBX.

undertheradar

I'd be willing to bet that this is a case of user error or confusion. Omni makes stellar products.

hey you guys... alright this is my camber kit and thank you tommy for posting for me while i was gone.... the bolt busting and sliding is a huge problem. the bolt itself snapped which is terrible. the bigger problem is the bends on the metal if u look closey. the metal basically bent along the edge where it hangs off of the main frame and it has bent where the bolts are. i need help asap.

Omni, no need to explain any further. Theyre going down every second. Look up another thread with the simlar kit, same situation.

OH DANG I WAS PLANING TO GET A PAIR TOO.OMNI IS GOING DOWN THS DRAIN

Make use of the HT archives and look into the RR/AX forum about changes that should be done to the Skunk2 upper camber arms.

Omni's arms are the same design as the original Skunk2 arms.

I made the changes you should be able to find in the archives... and have streeted/tracked my car with no issues.

Nice quality.

cambodia got civics too

That happened to be also, but with skunk2, it slipped and the metal fell onto the street, I had to pull over and look for it like 2 blocks where it broke off, i had to drive 5 mph home cause the arm was diconnect to the trailor arm. Took it home replaced the bolts with similiar ones and it was fine ever since. But until I road race with them, I Will feel 100% confidence with the product. But until then my suggestion is to check up on it everytime you do a oil change. hollaback

should have stuck with this one... you get what you pay for.

full aluminum both camber and caster adjustability.. made by spc $300+ range pair

Dc2 Powered

hmm so you guys think this is fixable?

4DeepCivic

yep, change the bolts and washer, I would also scrap the rest of the paint off and get it aligned.

CXshoe: are the bushings on those SPC camber kits rubber? poly? or bearings? Can't see from ur pics.
