yeah that sucks - I feel the same way and I only bought one set, this is the thing is when it comes to modding, you could have went the expensive route and still had a shitty experience with lower control arms being defective.
did you by any change remove the camber adjustment screws at some...
why go through so much trouble? you could just buy verkline front lower adjustable arms https://verkline.com/products/front-lower-adjustable-control-arms-toyota-supra-a90-a91
I was going to replace the thrust bushing to rule it out as the source of the noise, but I couldn't find a part number that I was certain would fit. I will say my car makes no noise when I wiggle the steering wheel back and forth... I have some spring binding pop (very subtle) when going full...
Yeah, it may be a waste of time to loctite or triple check these, but this is the only part I thought could be causing my clunking problem, however it still didnāt stop the noise when I tried it.
I ran out of ideas and just went back to stock.
ah! Never knew thatās what itās called!
I think the issue is the 4 four screws that mount the plate to the car can back out when you torque the top 4 nuts⦠but I even put loctite on them and it didnāt help so idk
Iām not messing with these no more
Here is what I think happens, I can't prove it, but I have a strong suspicion this is the reason they clunk:
The 4 screws that go thru the camber plates and secure the plates to the car can back out while being torqued on the top. If you look up in your pictures you can see them:
What I tried...
I worry about stripping the center torx hole thingamajig so I also sent it raw with the impact, but no improvement.
I am happy to report that after going back to stock mounts the problem is solved - I've spent SOOO MANY HOURS messing with these camber plates, making sure they were installed...
I reached out to verus and they've sent me the spec for the sleeve and the inner bearing diameter so I will check to make sure the play is to spec on Wednesday when I am off from work.
I will also test the X pattern as I don't recall doing it, I do usually use some sort of cross pattern...
It's not on, I am just testing the fitment between sleeve and the bearing, I didn't wiggle test it with the top nut installed, maybe I should do that??
I checked everything like 15 times already and I am just getting ready to go back to stock mounts, see my videos here https://www.supramkv.com/threads/new-rattle-please-help.38074/
The play is between the little slip on sleeve and the bearing, I checked everything was tight a million times, I even put locktite on the screws that come up the mounting location because they can back out as you tighten the mount to the car. I will be removing these next weekend and going back...
did you ever figure out the issue? I am having a similar problem, here is my thread where I posted a video with the noise, maybe it's similar to yours?
I am getting ready to order that bushing replacement just to rule it out personally.
It has a slight bump but nothing like this... also not clunking when I "wiggle" left right like some people do to test the infamous steering rack bushing.
It has a little spring binding when I turn almost a full turn in either direction and I am inclined to think its spring bind ???
I am losing my mind trying to figure out WHAT is going on with my front driver side suspension, anyone have any ideas what could be causing this clunking on my 2021 3.0.
Front Suspension Mods:
Verus camber plates
Eibach Euro springs
BMS Spacers
Motorsports hardware lug conversion kit
OEM Wheels...
so after 3 quick ugga duggas on front passenger side top camber plate bolt with impact wrench, the problem is almost goneā¦. It does it 10% of the time with really aggressive right turn⦠I guess I gotta give it another ugga dugga?
I canāt believe the problem is in the front! It still sounds like...
Very true! Im just out of ideas on the rear end, I think maybe Iām misplacing the noise, Iām going to get my wife to come out with me since she got that super hearing and canāt get nothing past her⦠probably should have done that a while ago š
