whats up peeps? man i need some info and knowledge you guys might hold. on your cars, do any of you have a problem as is. my control arms seem to smack my wheel weld or how ever you spell it. help man. later

 

my friends do. their control arms and ball joints are all fucked up. im sure its because of the camber kit and the ride height they're riding at (slammed). i have yet to run into any ball joint / control arm issues at the height i normally drive (slammed w/o camber kit).

 

if its up to that i'd rather buy control arms every six months on ebay for 80 bucks rather than 400 dollars on tires.

 

6months? my friend has gone through ball joints like nothing. it really depends on how low your car is. if your car is literally 4" off the ground, then you'll have something to be worried about. Let's put it this way. ive been driving my car for over a year with stupid camber; a pretty low stance; and on the same tires i bought the car with. my kumho tires held up during that time. tires are as expensive as only where you can find them.

 

yea if you have a ingalls (spelling?) camber kit on the front and your lower than 2 inches the upper control arm will hit the firewall.

 

shoo i just lowered my car with tein ss's and i live in SF where the roads are all f*cked up. what i worry about more is everytime i go up or down a driveway or hill, i scrap my cat. no matter what kind of angle i go in.

 

Control arms own me rite now been through 2 in the last 3 months gotta weld the next balljoint in on the next set.
