What A Difference This Made! | Z1 Upper Control Arms Install

Finally got around to putting out a video for you all. Life has been quite challenging lately since I took on a new position for work. I plan on continuing to put out more content for you all that have been enjoying the videos so far!

Would it mess with the camber too much if you had the fittings facing down so you could grease the fittings without disconnecting the ball joint?

[@velocitygarage]

That’s honestly a good question. A question that I do not have the answer to. But if I remember correctly with the wheel off they are accessible. I could be wrong but maybe this is something I should look into

[@GBKICKS1]

lol i have this issue too i’m running 45s tires upfront and it slaps and eats away my tires smacking the cotter pin, so this would be me fix?tbh i like running fat tires upfront , it helps protect my bushings and over suspension lol

[@velocitygarage]

45s are a little aggressive if you’re going low. Max I’d do is 40s which I have

[@Killerace2005]

mine are squaking so bad i greased the fittings and silicone pb blastered everything what do i do. pull it off and grease between the fitting and chassis? literally put em on 2 days ago.

[@velocitygarage]

Honestly never encountered a squeak from my control arms. I’d say give Z1 a heads up and possibly send you out some new arms for no charge

[@DeusCormier]

How many degrees of camber does it give you when they’re maxed out?

[@velocitygarage]

So I actually got it aligned that week and on the alignment rack we were able to max out the front to -4 which is just the right amount for me to because to tuck and not rub. I still anticipate on raising the car a bit so I can readjust my dampening. If you’d like I could shoot a couple of clips for the next video on how it sits.

[@TheDemonicDeity]

Was it a pain to get it aligned? I hear people say you have to disassemble these and remove the ball joint and strut just to adjust it

[@Runescape.]

it looks like you do, theres no way to adjust it in the car. very very poor design honestly.

[@velocitygarage]

The front arms weren’t bad. To be honest I had them maxed out and I knew it needed to be maxed out because I needed to clear the fenders with my wheel setup so the fronts were set before going in

[@pskuddie9860]

What the max amount of negative camber these give ?

[@velocitygarage]

-4 degrees of camber

[@DROIDRAZR16]

any squeaking from them?

[@aagomez2014]

I got mine 9 months ago, they only really squeak when I drive up my garage and hit the angle of the driveway hard. They have grease points to keep them lubricated regardless they don’t make noise

[@txwatts]

I just installed mine and as soon as I installed them on the dry/dirty part of the chassis I already heard the squeak. I took some good synthetic grease and lubed everything the arm touched on the chassis and there was zero noise

[@plusdaddyyt]

As u prob know by now , the grease nipple go down , not up

[@velocitygarage]

I did realize that after a month of have my it like that. No damage done but I appreciate the heads up
