Hey yesterday I installed the cheap way of a rear camber buy buying all the bolts locknuts, and washers I needed to de-camber my rear wheels. Everything went through find and the install then when I was driving last night randomly I heard a loud pop as if something was pulling on a sheet of metal and the metal gave in. It happened again today and now theres a small squeak coming from the same area. Im thinking maybe the bolt wasn't tightened enough or its coming out. I just went and bought a craftsmen toolset since I am stuck at work and was planning on just redoing the camber kit bolts in the back after work in the parking lot but if anyone knows if its same to drive with a bolt being loose or disconnected being dangerous. Im assuming so since its the control arm but rather check than be in a parking lot working on a car at 10 PM.

Thanks Again

its hard to tell what you are talking about from your description, but any loose suspension parts are/could be dangerous. when in doubt, tow it home. health/safety more important.
 
Yea its true I think I figured it out, I had a friend adjust the emergency brake sensitivity,not sure of the technical term, and it seemed he did it too tight so my rear breaks were rubbing even when the emergency brake was all the way down.

Thanks for your help at the least got one person who helped out LOL

Thanks Armin
 
But also make sure you have long enough bolts for the number of washers you are using. I used 4-5 washers on the original bolts and they came loose due to not enough threads in the frame and then started making popping noises when the control arm shifted. Also use lock tight.
