Did you buy the revised edition camber arms? 350z and G35 sedans can use unrevised ones, but G35 coupe needs their own version with their own product # to avoid ABS sensor knocking problems.

I didn't know that either.

Check your part numbers then check the corresponding part numbers on intensepower or some random part site. (hoping you got the box for them)

I had the same problem when I had the shims installed even with the revised version. All I had to do was bent the piece (circle in red in the picture below). I forgot which side it was, but i think it was the driver side.

^+1 I've heard of that being an issue before. Also, you need to be sure you use the specialized bolts that came with the kit.

Not sure what you mean? Back when I was buying front camber arms several years ago SPC made two different ones with two distinct SKU#. This was a result of a lot of G35 coupe owners having the knocking issue.

Somebody even posted a picture of revised vs. unrevised and one arm had more of a bend in it than the other.

I've got the revised kit. There's washers that your supposed to install behind the sensors on both front wheels. 2 washers fixed my problem, It may require more if your car is slammed. The washers come with the kit.

This original bolt right here?

You're suppose to, I don't remember see a bolt that comes with the kit for that part.

I followed this entire video right here except I skipped the step @ 5:56 - 6:13. Instead of cutting it, I removed it.

Are you missing a shim?

you might also want to double check and see if this piece was place upside down.

350z's and G35 sedans can install the unrevised arms without issues.
