Ichiba Camber Arms FTL!
Been hearing clunking getting worse and worse last few months, finally got under the car and saw what the issue is.... I wish I did more research on this specific product before I bought it for $300 !!!
Would putting some kind of different bushing in there fix this, cuz it looks like it's fckin up the hole there in the control arm, the whole thing just sounds like it's gonna fall apart when I go over bumps...
right now I cant even unscrew the bottom bolt that's being sucked into the hole, just keeps rotating when i turn it, and I doubt I can fit any kind of impact wrench in there, i was thinking about putting a washer between the control arm and the bolt to secure it tight.
There is no beating around the bush, this is a straight up faulty design on Ichiba's part, they must have idiots working in quality control
this is how tight the bottom screw is supposed to be, notice the big red fat bushing that does it's job as well
OH AND BTW, IS THIS NORMAL ?? looks like it's not hubcentric enough, there is some room for movement here, i've been hearing a smaller noise when driving exactly like when you get a rock stuck in the tire tread and you can hear it contact the pavement every time the wheel turns....
but once i step on the brakes the noise disappears so it has to be something with the brakes, and this is the only part of the brake system that seems loose to me after a close inspection... these are R1 concept rotors by the way... zinc coated for rust proof eh, look at that rust

and the cherry on the cake, i just called their official number listed on their crappy website (626) 962-3784 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand it`s out of service !
EDIT: called one of their dealers SP engineering and they were kind enough to give me their direct new line 626-226-0899...
just got off the phone with a lady rep there, she told me to email them with this video clip a technician will take a look at it and i should have a response next week
