dandan Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 There are four "arms" each side at the rear - which ones are you talking about and where are they coming loose? Hub side or body side? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyideas on a solution? Get it into a specialist ASAP would be my advice. Not something you want to be taking risks with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcarrter21 Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 its the two on the hub side that adjust the camber and toe i think. one has the droplink from the anti rollbar attached to it.... is there anyone in the southwest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little num Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Have they been taken out recently to have the bolts changed, as normally the camber bolt seize's to the metal sleeve on the bush. So what people normally do is cut the old bolt out but if its not done right they cut the metal sleeve on the bush and on the end of it is little teath to grip the subframe. If they havent been messed with then the only other problem is if they have been moving alot they might have worn away the teeth due to keep moving again the subframe so they will never stay still again with no teeth, or might have worn your subframe away.

dcarrter21 Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 They were on there limit for a while( lots of neg camber) then i loosened them off the other day and got a 4 wheel alighnment done. Made sure the garage done them up tight but since then they just come loose! Is it worth dropping the subframe or should i just remove the arm and have a look?

Chris Wilson Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'd torque them up yourself first and see if they stay set. I suspect they didn't tighten them up enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
