R33 Control Arm

[3340TH]

Hi i once had a problem with knocking noise from the front left tyre/suspension, turned out to be the ball pin joint, but in the process other things were replaced, i have new control arms, and had outer adjustable bushes put in while they were install cuz that's what was ordered in so i just took them. They were superpro adjustables.

I ended up getting a wheel alignment done not too long ago, to try get more k's outta my tyres, apparently they had to fully adjust the bushes to max, and there is still a bigger camber on that side over the right hand side. Fair enough i thought ok i will sort it later, but ever since they maxed it out, im getting squeaking from every bump movement and just makes it sound like im driving a heap.

The question is do i replace the bushes, if so what with...same/different brand, adjustables or non-adjustables, or am i looking in the wrong place? what is the cause of throwing them out too far? ive had these bushes in for prob 3 years max.

thnx

hey i had same problem as you having,reason was my car was low so i changed the spring back to stock,and changed entire upper control arm hub.i bought from jap shop in adelaide second hand part cost me $190 and my car suspension sweet as new....dont change with after market bushes they are crap and make so much horrible creaking noise on every hump and uneven surface better go genuine bush..

yeah, i had a few problems with the whole situation of things, but i got them to put the aftermarket adjustable outers in, as this is what they thought was the problem and it wasn't. But they've been wound out to max and they are that tight that, if i go up to the car now, and push down on the suspension it will squeak.

Im not sure which way to go...what's the pros and cons of adjustable - standard - genuine?

i need to get this sorted shortly as ill get the mech to do it next service which is months overdue as it is.

I was looking at nolathane ones.

Hey mate i am not expert but what happened to me.my car was lowered with kyb shocks and king spring and used to creak all the times i was keep trying to solve the problem but nothing.

one day i took my car to my friend workshop he checked my upper control arms and they were after market nothelone one,so he suggested changed them to stock once first i change the springs to stock and then changed upper control arm entire hub second hand genuine now all noises gone and comfort in my pocket....

one more thing 99.9% suspension places in adelaide are cheat so be aware of them,because of the creaking noises they make me fool..so make sure where is noise coming and then changed the parts,buy genuine or genuine second hand they good after market bushes are freaking noise noise and noise...

Well my problem is definitely my outer bushes, so i need new ones (or Lube? but the bloke who did the wheel alignment said he couldn't get it any straighter???), and new tyres as well

So can anyone tell me what sorta bush i should be looking at for this, considering anything, but super pro's.

genuine : being rubber?

polyurethane (adjustable or non?)

Can you adjust your camber with the non's and genuine?
