curcuit sport traction arm install?

Do the curcuit sport traction arms need bushing for install or are they ok to put in as is. i just dont like the way the bolt goes through and doesnt make contact with the cylinder in the ball at the end.

They shouldn't need bushings. You sure you're installing the traction arm? Upper arm that goes at an angle like / diagnal.

mmmk well i got them in but i have slightly severe alignment problems. i took it to get aligned and the guys telling me they adjust camber and toe (which he showed me as i watched) i dont have the sheets as he didnt complete the alignment but he managed to work my left camber to: -2.5 ish toe: -.53. the other side was in that range he was saying he couldnt do a full adjustment due to the traction arms being too long? they were clearly the same size as oem. do i need to purchase camber bolts to fix the camber where i have enough play for the toe? also would lowering the car give those arms more room?

Those are installed wrong man. That location is the camber arms. Traction arms are the ones that are higer up and attach to outer knuckle.

Location A in this photo.

Most popular, spc. Budget? Kinetix. You can find cheaper ones. But don't.

The kinetix rear camber arms aren't gonna have enough adjustment. Go SPC or eibach.

Also, those traction arms are a complete waste of money. All it does is overcomplicate the alignment process. All you need is eccentric toe bolts and adjustable camber arms.

Its not gonna hurt anything, but it definitely makes the alignment techs job harder
