My SPC A-Arm installation
#138
So yah, I have an '05 with non brembo, I had the triple light problem: reversed the sensors = same problem --> bent the ABS spacers straight"er" = lights went off for a while, then it was every once in a while or whatever...
so I removed the spacers
shipped to SPC
As far as clunking, yup!...
Also went to ATL this weekend and had to soften up the front suspension.... lol BAD IDEA with hard braking! I'll be stiffening them up again today. Wohoo!

I just off the phone with Charley the lead engineer at SPC about the clunking problem and this is the first he has heard about this issue. I talked to Doug, (one of the techs) last week and he was going to forward this issue on to engineering. I was just following up to see what progress was made but obviously none. Charley said that he would look into this matter, so we'll see if there will be a fix for this problem.
I talked to Peter and he knows about the clunking issue. I'll wait to see if they can come up with a fix otherwise I'll get a refund. The refund will be for only the kit only although I'll be out $200 for the install and another $150 for the alignment. Even if they come up with a fix I'll have to spend another $350.

i'm bumping this old thread to see if you guys are still having problems with the spacers.
I think my kit only came with one bracket. I have the revised arms so i'm assuming the revised bracket is also included. i took it over to West Covina Nissan for an install, but the tech recommended against it because of the issuue with the ABS lights and such. I'm still way out of alignment in the front and barely in, in the rear after installing the spc front and rear camber kits dropped on tein basics. how much is a typical install for the spacers?

Thanks Sean for posting up this great DIY.
I went to my Nissan dealer (without the part number) and we had no trouble IDing the part from the front suspension diagram in the PARTS Computer.
A pair of the lower ball joint seats set me back $19.75 with tax. It was that or pair about $11 for a Ball Joint Separator. This way, I can still put the old A-Arms back on the car......when that time comes.
Once these ball joint seats come in, I get started on the install (probably next weekend.)
