Issues with BMR Upper A arms..

[spudmanmike]

After being happy with their sets of rear control arms in my car, I decided to give their new upper A arms a shot. This was a entire swap with a blazer spindle and brake combo too, which by the sounds of it should be fine.

I put the arms in with them shimmed like the stock ones were (1-2 shims on the front bolt, 4-5 on the rear bolt). Dropped the car after everything and I am running nearly 4 degrees positive camber on both wheels. With a level that means the top sticks out like 3/4"! Also their ball joint cup hits my wheel weights at full lock (16" ZQ8s with the weights on the inner bead).

Did anybody have similar problems with these arms? Could I of gotten their 2nd gen camaro arms instead? I threw the box out so I don't know what was written on ther for a part number.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks -Mike

Is the shaft for the A-frame offset? Maybe it needs to be flipped the other way.

I was thinking the same thing, I checked and it appears to be centered

Today I swapped the stock G-body arm back in on the drivers side and it fixed the camber, actually I think I could pull a shim or two.. So it's not the Blazer spindles..

Still working with BMR on the issue currently, will let you know how I make out.

By the way you were right, its offset a little bit. I'm talking enough to maybe eliminate one shim. I flipped it on the drivers side and added a shim and it is nearly perfect at +1 degree. Did the same on the passenger side and had it is still about +4 degrees
