Megan Racing 3/Y Camber Arms

[Payjack]

I've had these Megan Racing Rear camber arms my Model Y for a few months now and about 5k miles. This is what the Megan arm bushing looked like after that short amount of time!

There was a horrible squeaking noise that developed going over bumps that lead me to the arms being the suspect! I saw on a ZEVcentric YouTube review of these camber arms that Megan racing made an update to these bushings but I cannot say that I recommend them any longer and have contacted Megan Racing.

Sadly, pretty common for their arms in a variety of chassis. From Honda to Mazda, there are threads on this.

Not all products peddled by shops in this space are done because they’re great. Sometimes it’s the margin.

Yeah super sad really and I didn't think to look in those forms before I bought them but did see one or two positive comments here. Also, coming from the Subaru community previously, Megan was a known to be a pretty decent bang for the buck.

I think everyone has known them to be cheap Chinese aftermarket parts. Subaru included, when the coilovers came out GC/GD/SF/SG owners laughed and continued with zeal/kw/tein.

Has Megan’s us importer followed up with you yet?

I emailed them yesterday and never heard anything today

At least you caught it in time and didn’t have this fate.

I think they have updated the design. Mine looks different. Is this still rubber or a spherical?

 

[Payjack]

They did update the design but this guy shows how it still has issues… please watch this video around the 5 min mark on.

I purchased mountain pass camber arms and will be posting a review/comparison when they get here

 

[Payjack]

Oh, also I still haven’t heard anything back yet from Megan Racing

I have the Megan arms and had the exact same thing happen. Interestingly, I haven't had an issue with the replacement bushings they sent after about 10k miles (my initial ones failed also at around 5k miles). If they fail again, I will be looking at other options.

Not surprised, I wouldn't even consider installing Megans - they're cheap for a reason. Teslas are much heavier than the typical JDM platforms they're used to marketing to.

Tom, what's the cost of installation and I assume you still do not perform alignments?
