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.

They all use the same arms.....all revised.

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.

Okay we used the same bolts that came with the car....not the kit? Can anyone else agree that your supposed to use the ones that 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.
