Allsports A-Arm Camber

vw3858

I've been tweeking the front suspension (camber/toe) on my Allsports 8" A-Arm lift since I installed it.... I seem to run across an issue that Im not quite sure about;

The two bolts at the assembly center (lower arms) seem to be slipping from the adjusted spots; I'm trying to keep a more || camber which requires the bolts to be set at the extreme inner part of the small slotted bolt thru-holes. These keep slipping outwards creating a /\ camber. I've recently really CRANKED down to tighten these two bolts AND installed a couple lock washers on the rear (nut side).

I guess I need to know if these should be cranked SO tight as Im worried they may get too tight and inhibit movement at all? Any suggestions

I'd PM Dirtysouth on this and get his opinion.

Any takers?

No response from PM? Just give them a call at the shop and ask for advice on it.

I would for sure talk to a dealer/installer person. Me personally i think you should NOT have to crank them down at all. They should be set to a certain tightness and they should stay... So the question is are the bolts coming lose then?

Me i would use Locktite on them prb the Red locktite to make sure they stay tight and snug.

So what did you find out? What was or is the fix?

I was out of town, so it took a few days to respond to vw. I haven't heard anything else.

Great... I saw you weren't around on the forum that much and figured something like that. What was the fix for it?
