SPL camber kit making noises??

ok I finally got a chance to get everything installed and now it makes a clump/thumping noise when I go over bumps or uneven roads. This only happens on the passenger side front. Sounds like I hit bottom when it happens.

I have the exact same sound except on the drivers side. I didn't pay almost 500 for these things to make noise like that.

loosen the ball joint from the knuckle and coat the surfaces with grease, re-torque, and no more noise...

i know what it is..!!!!!!!!! i have these and it made the same noise..!!!!!!!


It's the 15/16th's nut that sets the caster adjustment.. take off ur wheels and get a wrench on the nut and tighten it.. happened to me.. no one could figure it out but Darren at West End Alignment.!!!

There is a threaded rod to adjust caster, then there is a 15/16ths nut on each side to tighten to hold the threaded rod in place..
