Icon2 rear passenger upper control arm

Ok so I'm having a major issue. I have eibach proline lowering springs, spc rear lower control arms, myb gr2 struts, front and rear eBay camber kit. Toe is way out I need have it fixed. But my issue is in my rear camber kit. In two months I've had to replace my upper rear control arm twice. Keeps eating up the bushings. Yet driver side is fine. Any ideas what's going on? I'm tired of buying rear camber kits

Ebay? That is issue number one! How can you look yourself in the face after installing Ebay knock-off product alongside something like SPC?
GR2 shocks and lowered? Issue number 2.

Possibly you are not installing it correctly but more than likely it's because you cheaped out and used crap on your suspension. Torquing the bolts in the bushings while the car is up in the air and tires are hanging down is a no-no.

if you wanted a better brand of camber kit besides ebay "no-name" brand, I would suggest looking into "Wicked Tuning". Don't bother with BLOX because that was what I replaced due to bushing failure/detoriation.

You're wondering why that peice of **** camber isn't lasting?!
Stop being cheap.



With the pro kit, you don't even need a camber kit!

I don't mind my mild camber. -2* all around. But it looked goofy as **** with -3* and my +55's.
Spacers are next.

Thanks guys and grumble I did tighten the kit while in the air, so could be another issue. Definitely appreciate the input.
