Installed fron kinetics camber today
make sure you file the front top spindle arm or will have noise
camber got too factory specs perfect
but no noise now, its alot of work my friends shop did the work
I,m running 255-35-20 its rubbing now very little
so, going change to
245-35-20

 

anyone else out there with 255 in front rubbing???

 

Do you have a pic of what you need to file? Or maybe a better descrip? I just bought these and I do not want to have noise issues.

Thanks

 

make sure you GREASE all the joints and let it settle

 

What grease did you use?

 

4080 what size tire are you running up front
because now its rubbing with 255-35-20 because cambers are
straight now I,M go to 245-35-20

mobil 1 snyectic grease all the joints
let it settle in... the camber kit is real close with 20s
you might have to file down some parts or inner liner of the fender
good luck

 

I would wait for Cusco Front Adjustable camber kit
it will be out 1-15-05(release date)

is this the part that has be to be filled down?

 

I'm not sure what part he's talking about,
but when I installed my PerfNiss control arms I found that
you can get into clearance issues at the top of the strut tower.
(depending on how much you dial out the camber)

There are two things to watch;
1. the plastic fender liner
- you will need to trim it back where the arm end passes by (pic above)
2. the arm can also rub on the sheet metal up there
- i swung the arm up there before I connected the ball end & then used a piece of hardwood as a lever to push the sheet metal out a bit. (doesn't take much)
I didn't want to file the control arm end & weaken it.

*****************
Re cusco;
If anything, I think it will have more clearance issues than
any others due to it's larger ball end.

 

Why cant any be easy for this car, I swear everything is a pain in the *** to do. hopefully my installer will understand what to do

 

It's the main reason that these cars are such a good buy.
They're cookie cutters.
The 350Z, G35c & sedan are all basically the same under the covers.

 

everthing is ok now with the front kit
with grease the joints and fileing the upper arm let it settle in
is now smooth opration
you have to file(LITTLE BIT) the upper arm there is two spots( METAL) on top, that touch.
not a big deal a good suspenion shop can do it
the g35 is very sensative suspenion
