Camber Arm Noise

[levinboy]

Hey all just installed JJR adjustable camber arms front and rear and i am getting alot of noise from the front arms.

Now is it normal for this until they are 'worn in' or is there a big problem??

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Is it a knocking sound?

yea it is

Had a look tonight and nothing seems to be hitting, so im kinda at a loss at the moment

That sounds about right. The bushes in the JJR arms are solid as f**k compared to stock and all the little humps and bumps the stock bushes would normally absorb sounds like knocking in the suspension with the more solid JJR arms. What other suspension mods have you done to the rear?

I bought some used Noltec adjustable front upper arms, and exactly the same thing happened to me.

So I thought, this can't be right and went out and bought some nice new japanese Silkroad adjustable upper arms. It minimised the occurance of the noise probably by about 50% but still makes the knocking sound over large bumps.

How low is your car?

I had the car raised with the adjustable arms in and had no issues with any knocking noises what-so-ever. When lowered the arm doesn't 'seem' to be hitting the wheel well but it sure looks close.

The rears arnt making any noise just the fronts, but suspension mods on the car are:

Cusco Zero2 coilovers

Nismo sway bars

and now the JJR camber arms front and rear

Car isnt that low, well above legal height

There is no sign of the arms hitting the wheel well

Do the R33's have rubber bushings on the rear cradle mounts? I'm only familiar with R32's
