styler Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 (edited) rose joints are great when done properly, unfortunate that they are illegal on street though apparently its not due to them being strong enough but rather the adjustable side of things like if the adjustment retainer (nut) comes loose when you are driving along then the lower control arm gets loose and wobbly around the joint. someone mentioned they could be engineered for strength but I'm not sure that addresses the adjustable issue. lol on a more amusing side of things those eccentric camber adjuster bolt sets are sometimes undersize and flex or break, or just simply come loose and camber goes all over the place. when i first saw those sets i thought that may happen... at least they are only 1/2 deg or so, so hopefully no one has been injured from them coming loose.
