Okay I'm not sure if I'm just being 100% stupid or not. But I've got a set of skunk2 rear camber arms same as the picture below

Notice how the fixing is horizontal

From what I've been told these are all the same ones, but anything I've tried to attempt to move the bushing so that it's vertical like the ones pictured below so that it fits. All I can see is a tiny black retaining clip just at the ends. Do these need removed in order to rotate the bush round? Any help will be appreciated

you sure they are genuine? the sk2 website shows them as vertical.
 
Yeah deffo genuine. Bought these from tegiwa. Come with skunk2 stickers and etching
 
From tegiwa?
Why dont you contact them? If they will not help contact sk2 themselves directly.

For what these bits do, sk2 looks to have made it very complicated; over engineered.
Sorry for the rant...

Looks like ther pressed in wrong and you won't turn them. Send them back and get a new set.
 
Send those back! Get these!

They can't have been prest in wrong because the top pics a sk2 pic so they must be for another car. Phone Tegiwa and ask them to double check and if there wrong ask them to send a new set.

Mabby they made a mistake?! Sk2 never!
 
Lol everyone's hating! :p

Managed to get it working, false alarm guys
 
The way they were they actually couldn't be bolted on due to the angle
 
Sorry only just saw this - glad you got sorted.
Remember the joint is supposed to turn and move :)
 
can anyone help with my setup, im needing to change most suspension bushes except for the big trailing arm bush because thats been done already. Im planning to get coilovers in the next few months so am i right in saying oem camber arms will be no good?

I dont want to buy bushes and have them pressed if id be better off getting uprated camber arms etc but im stuck on what exactly to replace and what to upgrade.

On the rear trailing arm the things that i can see need replacing are..

camber arms/bushes
lower arm bushes
LCA bushes

can anyone suggest whats best to replace with OEM and uprated parts?

:nice:

camber arms/bushes - Aftermarket camber arms such as Skunk2
lower arm bushes - OEM Honda
LCA bushes - Aftermarket LCA's such as Skunk2

Its often easier to replace the arms rather than pay labour costs to press the bushes out etc.

yeah this is what im trying to price up and its hard enough just trying to find the genuine bushes.

are the toe arms as important to change as the camber arms when driving a lowered car or can i get away with just replacing the bushes on them?

the car will never see the track so i only need a good balance between comfort and handling
 
Im sorry to say this but i think you bought FAKE items
genuine skunk 2 bushing has only 5 slots in it.
fake items have 8 slots.
From where i come from these taiwanese / chinese items are abundent.
one have to be very careful.

ive attached some pic to illustrate
