Okay, I'm writing this DIY so I can take it off my sig. I don't know how many people were having my problem, but maybe you can learn from me.
Culprit: Drop Zone Camber kits (probably Ingalls too)
Whenever I would go down the road and either turn my wheel end to end I would hear a popping sound. I thought it was my ball joints, but after thorough inspection, I came to the conclusion they needed to be replaced but were not causing the sound. So, i started shaking the steering knuckle on the passenger side because that's where the sound was coming from. Sure enough the thing swayed left to right with little or no pressure at all. The bushings were totally loose.....now this could be because, once again drop zone products are pieces of shit, I have to spray my camber kits with lube every week because they squeak like a bitch. So I thought to myself, how the hell an i gonna fix this? I took out one of the camber kits and went to Lowe's (in my other car of course ) I found four 3/4" flat washers that fit right around the bushing on the outside of the kit. Bought em, went home and started chanting "Please let them work." I had originally planned to put two on each camber kit. Didn't work out so I put one on each. It's perfect now, just make sure you put them on either the outsides or insides. I put mine on the insides closest to the coil springs. I thought that with one washer it would still be loose, but when I tightened em down, it was tight as hell. Success!
