I have a 99 EK hatch and swaped out to GSR brakes all around. for some reason my car was butterfling (not even lowered) so I got camber kits (Skunk2 Pro series) all around. After i put the camber kits on the noise appeared. If i go over a little bump or down my driveway even when making turns in a parking lot i would hear that noise. My question would be is the Camber kit bad??? I dont have a problem getting a new set but if its bad what would you recommend?

 

If the car didn't do it before you installed the camber kit, then the camber kit is causing the issue. Maybe you installed it wrong, maybe the kit is screwed up, or maybe you screwed something else up in the process of installing it.

Either way you know the cause of the problem, so fix it.

 

double check your work

 

my car EK hatch had a bad front lower control arm bushing and the bolt started to back out of the subframe and it would crack and pop all day making turns or change in road elevation where it would either put pressure on that control arm or relieve pressure it would pop and crack

I changed out all the arms and to SI and the knuckles out to GSR. I even changed the knuckle out again to another one just to make sure. What did you do to solve the issue?

My car did the EXACT same when my lower control arm bushings went bad. It was metal scraping against metal. Replaced and everything was like new again

Where can I get some bushings?

 

dude... Put the car on jackstands... Then have a friend work the wheel up and down with a long 2X4 or bar.. and lay under the car and watch the suspension travel.. You'll physically see what the problem is

 

bad rec?
