Wow, my car pulls to the right too! I eyeballed the tires and they look laser straight, did a few measurements and all seems dead on with an angle finder, laser level and even a plumb bob and a measureing tape! It still pulls right. Still, no more clanking on the bottom end. I called Arnot and they are checking on it. We fixed that by putting a washer between the cotter pin and the nut. So the cotter pin on the new one does not reach the crown nut when fully installed. On the end, the metal around the new ball joint is about 3/8" thinner than the metal on the original. When we re-measured we found that the difference is in the thickness of the arm itself. One thing we noticed is that the bolt on the new ball joint seemed about 3/8" longer than the bolt on the original. Never trust Used tires.I had new UCA's installed on my 91 LS400 today. The Arnott UCA do seem to be manufactured whitin OEM specs. that cost me 70 $CAD and the problem was'nt even solved, we tried the car and still steered to the right !?! He told me to change the front tires left to right vice versa and try it that way, its a common problem with used tires, so I went home and tied it and guess what. I really wanted to solve the problem so I told them to check the rear too, the rear Toe was a bit off of spec but still not enaugh to alter the driving. We checked all ball-joints and bushings and no loose at all !!! The guy told me that with the readings we had there was no way this would make the car steer to the right. We havent found a way to ajust Camber, even the LCA cam does nothing, it just plays whit the toe. I still have a bit of clunking in the front, maybe lower ball-joints or lower bushing, I will be in better way of evaluating the Arnott upper arms when all the front end will be repaired.Īll I can say, is I am stunned, I went to get it aligned this afternoon, the front was pretty good Caster= OK, Camber= a bit off (left+0.3 right+0.6) but easily within specs, Toe was OK too but we still put it at perfect angle. ![]() ![]() ![]() Since the ball-joints on my old ones where good, I have a pair of spaire arms to try other bushings, Nice ! I do recomend them, I think they should last a while, anyways you could buy almost 4 sets before getting to the price OEM ones. Missing 1 dust boot, I took an old one from my arms, this would be my only real complaints against them. Had to hammer then in, pins are a bit too long. Says NEW on the site, the arms don't look so new to me but for the price what can I say. Lifetime warranty (not sure about this one) maybe. OEM style bushings, keeps comfort, no skweeking after a while like Daizen ones. Value, what can I say, they are darn cheap !!! $199US for both (I paid almost 300CAD because of shipping, I took UPS next day $60). ![]() There are a few odd things about them, the cast iron part seems do have been sandblasted and painted (rebuilt), I thaught so until I put the old one on the new ones and they have different shape in the casting roundness and bushing holes are narrower on the new ones. ![]()
