I am grateful that your videos show you doing your work for the first time, and that you have NOT done a (complete) TRIAL RUN. Even though you are very mechanically inclined, you still run into problems that you must overcome. And you don't delete that portion of the video. THANK YOU for that. It gives hope to the rest of us.
Thanks, I learned that audience appreciates that from my honda ball joint video, I'll try to keep my fails going forward to teach the audience what not to do.
I was hesitant about doing this myself. But after watching your video Im ready to do this! Originally I paid a shop to put on aftermarket adjustable camber arms, but now the bushings have gone bad, so this time I want to do this myself. Your video is clear about doing it including the issue with the 2 bolts on the arm hinge by coilover. Thanks!
I just got these put on. I first put all 4 lowers and tried to align it but they said they couldn’t get the front camber right. I put these same upper mevos on with a new rack and outers and now my car just better than it ever has!
i have these just waiting to put them on. Ive had alot of front inner tire wear being lowered. The rears have actually been fine. Summer tires arent cheap!
the welds on the aftermarket part are big stress concentrations. OEM part has no sharp edges, looks like it was designed using finite element methods to maximize strength/weight. always a little sad to get a quality downgrade when replacing a part... but there is no OEM equivalent here...
so I just installed these control arms along with all other control arms and coilovers on my 03 g35. im having some issues with my caster being off. other than that, everything is great. upper control arm quality seems good so far.
Depends how you look at it...if the OE is using aluminum then the forces aren't great enough to justify the steel, although the steel is technically stronger
Good video but! You should tighten this type of suspenssion componenets under load ! this bushings require it !!!!!! this ball joint had to be tighten under load too..
I have a 07 mercedes e550 n my driver's side wheel is pushed inward could it be the upper control arm? If so do they have the adjustable control arms 4 Mercedes-Benz
Is this aftermarket modification only used on an Infiniti G or Z when the car is lowered? Will this correct the camber on a 2005 G35 that is not lowered? My camber is not running at a straight flat run utilizing the entire flat surface of the tire. Your feedback will be highly appreciated. Thanks
My 350z shakes steering wheel and makes a noticeable clunking noise that seems to be coming from the drivers footwell possibly coming from the front suspension, it also pulls to the side , I went to an alignment shop and they told me the front right caster was off and that I would need to get a set of these adjustable control arms to correct it, what is the difference in replacing it with an OEM pair so I can get it back to stock specs as opposed to going aftermarket?
I have the same issue on my infiniti qx70...after lowering the car both front and back wheels have this angle issue. What do you recommend for the back wheels
How have the mevotech control arms held up(ball joints and overall build)? I heard they are rebranded spc arms. I'm looking at their adjustable ones for the gs300.
Hey how do you find EWD and workshop manuals for a car? Can they be found online? I am working on a 2004 KIA Optima, and those manuals would be super helpful.
Thanks for the leads! The All data website looks promising, and I just found Kia's KGIS website. I Really appreciate your videos btw! Your work ethic really shines through!

That toothbrush is gonna becoming more legendary than ChrisFix's soapy water
Lol
Fame is the game

I'm glad it helped you. What arms are you using on your G37?
@@speedkar99 , SPC Eibach Arms. Ill have to get a press at AutoZone to push out old bearings. Now I see why people just replace the entire arms. 😂
You explained that on an Collegiate level well done.. I almost felt smart listening to you 🤓
Happy to see somebody else uses Mevotech parts! Great stuff!
IS SPC
I just got these put on. I first put all 4 lowers and tried to align it but they said they couldn’t get the front camber right. I put these same upper mevos on with a new rack and outers and now my car just better than it ever has!
Yep the adjustable uppers help alot with the camber!
i have these just waiting to put them on. Ive had alot of front inner tire wear being lowered. The rears have actually been fine. Summer tires arent cheap!
100K soon man, great video!
Thanks, yup I'm looking forward to it
hope our brother doesnt get killed one day from all your interventions
Hahaha I hope not but at least he will get payback
I see the prelloads on bolts ❤
Where do the bumpstops go ? Wish you included that
the welds on the aftermarket part are big stress concentrations. OEM part has no sharp edges, looks like it was designed using finite element methods to maximize strength/weight. always a little sad to get a quality downgrade when replacing a part... but there is no OEM equivalent here...
Your right, except the aftermarket part is overdesigned, so while technically under heavy stress the welds are where it's not going to fail
Any issues with these? I heard of premature wear on ball joints and issues with slippage as well.
so I just installed these control arms along with all other control arms and coilovers on my 03 g35. im having some issues with my caster being off. other than that, everything is great. upper control arm quality seems good so far.
Yep, these arms are working great, thanks
Any update? What about bushing and balljoint?
Preciate the video mane! Ordering my SPC Fronts as we speak!
Awesome. Make sure you get an alignment unlike my brother haha
Ding Ding Ding, Thumbs Up! Thank you!
Your welcome
please do a mechanical review on this car!
I did. Check out my Q50 review.
nice! i subscribed to you long time back. always liked your videos it was untill this video where i realized you're from Ontario!
I'm here from AB! 👋
beefy steel is worse than the light aluminium right
Depends how you look at it...if the OE is using aluminum then the forces aren't great enough to justify the steel, although the steel is technically stronger
Good video but! You should tighten this type of suspenssion componenets under load ! this bushings require it !!!!!! this ball joint had to be tighten under load too..
Another great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Cheers to the toothbrush 🤣 Subbed. 👍
Thanks
next review, aftermarket upper control arm, suspension and shock absorbers for 4x4 vehicles like the Toyota Hilux
Say it aint so. Am i being grace by another of your video after 2 week of hiatus? Lol :-)
I've been waiting longer for him to actually do the vid so I can finally go for an alignment ;)
Go for your alignment now bro
Hey I'm trying to keep the videos going!
8:11 your poor brother 😂😂
Today you didn't use your brothers frozen underware😂😂
Because on this day it was summer hot
Can’t believe you put the nut on upside down and completed the install. The washer will just move to where you tightened it up
Which nut? The ball joint?
Compare 3.50 to 5.54
camber bolt installed upside down fyi
Thanks
Very good video. Thank you!
You are welcome. Have you lowered your G/Z?
Can you use those to fix your Camber after an accident where the wheel is tilted inward a little bit
Yes but that means something else bent
@@speedkar99 I think the upper control arm bracket is bent
good job thanks
Your welcome
I like to watch your videos, you're so funny
Funny? How so...I'm just being myself 😁
Fortune favors the bold not brave
Ok
Could you give an update since the video is 2 years old? Many other company loom cheap and this one look good.
It's still on the car and it's my brother's daily. No issues
@@speedkar99 they seems well build. I mean I was looking for other models but everyone was saying they have noise issues after months...
Extremely helpful vid thx for the help!
I wish you make your video little bit longer to catch up information obviously. we are appreciate
Thanks for the suggestion but I don't want to make it long and boring for other viewers
Ah man, my bad I have 09M35HR7AT
i really need 2 figure this out ☹️🤦🏻♂️
Do you have to preload the bolts?
Very informative video 👌🏽
Thanks
My upper ball joint won't seat properly in the steering knuckle 🤦🏾♂️
It might need the persuation hammer
I have a 07 mercedes e550 n my driver's side wheel is pushed inward could it be the upper control arm? If so do they have the adjustable control arms 4 Mercedes-Benz
Pushed outward relative to the other side? Or to the fender? Either way take the car for an alignment and check if anything is bent.
Why didn’t you install the bumper spacers?
WTF no one notice the washer under the adjusting nut does not even
fit the ball joint stud diameter ?
Makes Sense thanks for the reply.......
Thanks for the tip
Is this aftermarket modification only used on an Infiniti G or Z when the car is lowered? Will this correct the camber on a 2005 G35 that is not lowered? My camber is not running at a straight flat run utilizing the entire flat surface of the tire. Your feedback will be highly appreciated. Thanks
Yes this will help with the known camber issues of the Z / G35 platform
I had to get these for my car and I am stock height stock everything not lowered. 2dr fyi
Nice video just installed some on my g35 major fail... When I turn my steering wheel I hear clunking noise
What brand
Z1
Did you ever figure it out?
Yes me and my guy had them on the wrong sides. left was on the right and vise versa
Should I just stick with 0 degrees of caster?
Go with the manufacturer spec
My 350z shakes steering wheel and makes a noticeable clunking noise that seems to be coming from the drivers footwell possibly coming from the front suspension, it also pulls to the side , I went to an alignment shop and they told me the front right caster was off and that I would need to get a set of these adjustable control arms to correct it, what is the difference in replacing it with an OEM pair so I can get it back to stock specs as opposed to going aftermarket?
Is that your brothers toothbrush also? Poor guy. 😁
Can the alignment shop adjust the camber while the wheels are still on?
They are supposed to but on these it's a bit tricky because at suspension height, it's tight against the fender liner.
I have the same issue on my infiniti qx70...after lowering the car both front and back wheels have this angle issue.
What do you recommend for the back wheels
How have the mevotech control arms held up(ball joints and overall build)? I heard they are rebranded spc arms. I'm looking at their adjustable ones for the gs300.
They held up great, it's only been a few months
Question,
Did you ever have A issue with the upper arm hitting the car frame ?
Hey how do you find EWD and workshop manuals for a car? Can they be found online? I am working on a 2004 KIA Optima, and those manuals would be super helpful.
All data or Google search
Toyota has TIS techinfo website, maybe Kia has something similar.
Thanks for the leads! The All data website looks promising, and I just found Kia's KGIS website.
I Really appreciate your videos btw! Your work ethic really shines through!
What about rear wheel alignment?
See my suspension rebuild video on this G37. We put in some adjustable rear links and bolts.
@@speedkar99 I searched your Playlist and I don't see it
Where can I buy this lower and upper arm?
Rockauto
Does g37x and g37 use the same upper control arm? Awd and rwd? Thanks for any reply
Upper yes. Lower is different
Got mine today! Looks a lot like spc control arms. Quick question can you use thread lock for the ball joint ?
And what’s the purpose of bump stop? Where does it go
Yes you can.
Did you get Mevotech parts?
speedkar99 no i got spc but they look exactly the same!
Is the same for spc control arms?
Yes
Are upper control arm the same for g37 coupe?
I dont really care !!! Hahaha Good video :) thanks
It's my brother's car
No need of any lube for that adjusting area?
No, there's enough slack in there already
speedkar99 thanks for the info... :)
Hey I have a question if you dont mind
I have an answer if you don't mind
What brand is the UCA?
I would have pushed it all the way to the outside ,
Assalamualaikum
Hey thanks for watching 😁
how do I buy this?
Wow
8:09 Yo what the heck, no wonder my car's pulling to the left
Haha sorry bro
How well did these hold up?
Still on the car today
👍
Nice toothbrush
Nut round wrong way
How so?
speedkar99 notice the washer is to big for the bolt it’s because the nut goes the other way so it sits inside the washer get me ?
And before you take it apart it was the correct way
toothbrush!!!
Gotta love it
3rd
Wow your fast to respond
>Lowered Altima, waste of money.
Bruh, it's clearly a maxima
G37 is based on the FM platform, nothing to do with Altima and Maxima
First!
Thanks for being #1
These look cheap to me really
Ah they felt pretty strong compared to OE
I use to do all this dumb crap to my cars....then I decided to buy a real car
Driving a chevrolet is worst than driving a Kia. You would look better on a 🚲
why bother its a nissan. junk it or buy a moped. good video otherwise.
True. But it's not my car.
