Adjustable (Upper) Control Arm problems

[Sideways]

Hi All

Has anyone else had problems with the lock nuts coming loose on the Adjustable Upper Control Arms that JMS sell (for the front of a R32 )?

The inner locknuts on mine keep coming loose... it's happened twice now and I have only had them fitted for a week !!

Has anyone else got a set of them fitted?

thanks

James

I rang them yesterday and they recon they havent heard of the problem before...

I was going to try some locktight on them tomorrow and see how it goes... and if that doesn't fix it them they can go back and I will just have to make do with the pedders Adj. bush kit fitted to the std arms.. unless someone can suggest some other option

(other than the UAS ones - as the review on AutoSpeed wasn't too favourable for their ones)

Send it back to us so we can see if we can fix the problem if you dont have any luck with the Locktight. We havnt had any trouble with them yet so yours is the first.

Ahhh...another one with the same problem. Trust me mate, I've sent it to Pedders countless times and those bloody arms seem ridiculously unrepairable (I hope not!). Mine squeaks like crazy still and I just had an updated kit put in today!

Will do,

But my biggest problem is that I am off on holidays wednesday night (and am taking the car) so need something in the car (and something safe) cause I will be doing a lot of driving (with my family in the car) so I am in a bit of a spot - need to fix it by wednesday.. Off to Tassie on the ferry, so cannot delay our departure

With my old std arms in place I have almost 5mm play in both front wheels.. so they are not an option...

If only you were in Melbourne... or me me in Adelaide...

At this stage the only fix I can think of that I might have any chance of doing by wednesday is to go with the local pedders fitted kit

(or maybe the whiteline one is the same I think)

Unless someone in Melbourne would happen to have a couple of std upper control arms they can lend me for a couple of weeks??

regards

James
