I'm sure most of you already probably know this but I think it bears repeating again that Ichiba suspension parts are total garbage. The bushings on my front A-arms completely failed after a year and now rub against the metal under the wheel well causing all kinds of clunking noises. I sent these pictures to Ichiba to show them what happened and of course I got no response as to why their products are complete crap. Hope none of you here ever consider buying their suspension parts.

 

I have Ichiba rear camber arms, just waiting for the day those WILL fail..
Lets hope people do a search and find all these threads before they take the dive and buy ichiba suspension parts..

 

Good to know and noted!

 

I'm sorry to hear about that. Even though some of the more quality brands are significantly more expensive, it is ultimately less expensive in the long run. Hope they respond to your email and provide some sort of compensation. Best of luck!

you should all get in on my SPC camber kit group buy

 

I had the same EXACT issue. Just removed mine with only 5500 miles on them. I removed the rears as well. There was already signs the bushings were going out and there were surface cracks in the paint indicating stress on the bar at that spot. I wrote them and sent pics a month ago with no reply. No customer service at all.

 

spc !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Mine failed within 3000 miles. I'm having a set custom made for me instead. BTW these never got my front end alignment within spec.

 

they dont provide positive camber adjustment

 

Yep same here, even the max adjustment on these arms will not get you back to OEM camber spec.

 

That doesn't really mean anything without discussing the drop. Even SPC/350evo arms can't get back slammed cars back in spec, often the car/wheel setups don't even have the possibility of being able to be put back in spec.

Now do these have quite little ability for positive adjustment compared to some other brands? Yes.

 

^^ Nope totally disagree, these had almost no positive adjustment, and my car had a regular drop.

 

I wasn't even dropped one inch and I couldnt get the camber to OEM spec even on the max setting.

 

yo I'm honestly thinking about starting a petition on this forum to have Ichina garbage banned from sale... by far the worst product I have ever seen sold, numerous threads on it's failure some were really close to being serious like the guy who crashed his car cuz his rear camber kit snapped....

my personal experience with it, not only did my bushings fail just like OP, but also i m seeing stress cracks at the welds, only a matter of time before they literally snapped on me

 

I would sign if it happens.
