Skunk2 Rear Camber Arms: Assembly and Part Details (PIC Heavy)

blueroadster · 02-15-2007, 07:51 PM

I ordered a set of Skunk2 Rear Camber Arms from Corsport and must say that I am very impressed with the quality of the part. Here is a PIC of what came in the box:

The part did not include assembly instructions, but it is rather straight forward. First connect the adjustable end link as shown below:

Next install the shaft through the other end:

Add the washer:

And then the snap ring:

Then install the washer and snap ring to the other side of the shaft:

Do the same for the other side, and then the rear camber arms are ready to install on the car:

Enjoy!

*EDIT* Suggest adding wheel bearing grease to the shaft and bolt that go through the camber arm ends to prevent squeeking over time as some members have reported */EDIT*

Now for the weights. I was very impressed to find that both control arm assemblies weigh exactly the same. Here are PICs showing the exact measurements:

Assembly one weighed in kilograms:

Assembly one weighed in ounces:

Assembly two weighed in kilograms:

Assembly two weighed in ounces:

Thanks for the information! Do these camber arms completely replace the stock rear endlinks?

blueroadster · 02-15-2007, 08:10 PM

They replace the stock rear upper control arms.

Niiice. thanks for the pics. Will you be installing these yourself?? If so, can you please do a DIY???

mishima8 · 02-15-2007, 09:04 PM

Nice, I got mine yesterday. Got gold though. A DIY would be nice, if not I will have to do it! LOL

***Zeuceone*** · 02-15-2007, 09:06 PM

thats a real nice scale. give me two ounces of your best stuff.

blueroadster · 02-15-2007, 09:08 PM

Thanks and yea, I'll do the install myself along with a DIY! It is much easier than the clutch install that I will be doing this weekend.

Haha...It's actually a kitchen scale used for baking and is very accurate from a kg to 5 lbs. I have another one that I use for measuring on 5kg increments up to 10 lbs. Above that, I have to default to a scale that is less accurate.

I'm installing mine this weekend too. I wonder how much the stock arms weigh

LOL, yeah I was wondering the same. BTW if you can use an extra hand, I wouldn't mind helping out. Send me a PM, I can't remember where you are in MD though. If it's near B-more I can assist and get some experience prior to doing mine.

I'm doing the install in a heated garage. Yes, I used snap ring pliers to install the clips.

Putting mine in Sunday. My buddy owns a detailing shop that has 2 lifts. I can use it anytime the business is closed which is after 6 everyday but Sunday. Sunday, closed all day. If someone needs to do something to their car near me, I'm sure he wouldn't mind. Did I mention it's heated and a detail shop?????????
