got this from the UPS Man

look at what's inside . . .

my blue gorilla lug nuts *sorry if blue ain't yoor style*

skunk2 camber kit !

the whole krew . . . i got the tekademics mischief for free

these fell out when i opened the bag . . . are they important ? ? ?


props to Nick at Massimo Performance . . . they were shipped Monday 10th and recieved them Wensday 12th

 

how much did you pay for the camber kit? i'm looking into buying one and skunk2 is the one i was looking at.

 

i wish i was receiving that package

 

you tell me, I got my camber kits from them a couple of weeks ago and yeah, those things fell out as well. Didn't know what they were. Havent installed them yet, so i'm not sure if you need those or not.

 

those are cotter pins.. don't know if you use them on the upper control arm.. but I know they are very important for holding the Lower ball joint in place..if you don't have those and the bolt that holds the lower ball joint comes off.. your in a world of **** =P if you are driving

 

Looks like the cotter pin under the lower ball joint

 

You need to use those cotter pins for the upper ball joint castle nuts. When you take off your stock upper A-arm and replace it with the Skunk2's adjustable unit, you have to remove the castle nut at the top, which means removing the stock cotter pin that is in there. Those cotter pins are very important...they keep that castle nut from backing off and falling off. If you don't have that cotter pin in there, it could be vital to the longevity of your suspension (ie. suspension falling out of that upper a-arm creating a world of headaches).

By the way, nice parts All though some people on here have had trouble with the Skunk2 camber kit and those allen bolts hitting the strut tower if your car is too low....

 

OoOoOoOoOo i get it now . . . thanx alot guys . . . have one
so the pin holds the castle bolt . . .
i got the camberkit and lugnuts shipped for $224 by Nick *for whoever asked the question*

EDIT : bolt = nut

impressive...Me likes...

 

THose are the cotter pins for the upper control arm(ie your camber kit). After you put the nut on the to the balljoint on the camber kit, just slide that thru and bend it so it wont come out.

 

those skunk2 camber arms arent the best. everybody i know including me has ripped the rubber ball joint with those.

oh, and do not over tighten those camber arms either or they will have trouble moving up and down.

 

nice parts i bought my skunk 2 camber kit from Massimo Performance also. the are good guys

 

opinions on the lugs?? they seem to have a good deal on them?? let me know. thanxx

 

well i bought the lug nuts because it seems if alot of H-T members have them.
and why not buy them when nick at massimo gave me a good deal on them

 

HeHe. And where did you put the stickers?

 

i'm lost . . . hehehe . . . what stickers ?
