I am grateful that your videos show you doing your work for the first time, and that you have NOT done a (complete) TRIAL RUN. Even though you are very mechanically inclined, you still run into problems that you must overcome. And you don't delete that portion of the video. THANK YOU for that. It gives hope to the rest of us.

You explained that on an Collegiate level well done.. I almost felt smart listening to you 🤓

I was hesitant about doing this myself. But after watching your video Im ready to do this! Originally I paid a shop to put on aftermarket adjustable camber arms, but now the bushings have gone bad, so this time I want to do this myself. Your video is clear about doing it including the issue with the 2 bolts on the arm hinge by coilover. Thanks!

My 350z shakes steering wheel and makes a noticeable clunking noise that seems to be coming from the drivers footwell possibly coming from the front suspension, it also pulls to the side , I went to an alignment shop and they told me the front right caster was off and that I would need to get a set of these adjustable control arms to correct it, what is the difference in replacing it with an OEM pair so I can get it back to stock specs as opposed to going aftermarket?

I have the same issue on my infiniti qx70...after lowering the car both front and back wheels have this angle issue. What do you recommend for the back wheels

good job thanks

Hey I'm trying to keep the videos going!

the welds on the aftermarket part are big stress concentrations. OEM part has no sharp edges, looks like it was designed using finite element methods to maximize strength/weight. always a little sad to get a quality downgrade when replacing a part... but there is no OEM equivalent here...

Your right, except the aftermarket part is overdesigned, so while technically under heavy stress the welds are where it's not going to fail

I have a 07 mercedes e550 n my driver's side wheel is pushed inward could it be the upper control arm? If so do they have the adjustable control arms 4 Mercedes-Benz

Pushed outward relative to the other side? Or to the fender? Either way take the car for an alignment and check if anything is bent.

Is this aftermarket modification only used on an Infiniti G or Z when the car is lowered? Will this correct the camber on a 2005 G35 that is not lowered? My camber is not running at a straight flat run utilizing the entire flat surface of the tire. Your feedback will be highly appreciated. Thanks
