here is a copy of what I wrote on honda-tech.com about my omni power camber arms, along with a link to honda-tech thread where you can see all the other links about omni stuff failing

Ok maybe this is an isolated incodent, or maybe not with all the problems Omni Power has had as of late. So for a while now i have heard a noise and felt a small shake in my front end, me being the guy i am I need to know what is going on with my car. So I jack up the front take a look and everything looks ok, I do this a few times over a period of 2 weeks trying to figure out what the problem is, after all this i had some freinds take a look as well. The end result was we could not see anything wrong with my front end. We had dismissed anything to do with the upper end because of the fact i had replaced the upper end components which included a set of Omni Camber arms. Well today after the noise got worse i decided to take another look, but this time i looked at the upper end, this is what I found.

The bushings that go through the camber arm itself had torn away. So for the last couple of weeks this is what i have been riding on, thank god it didnt come apart completly! In one of the pics u can see i can put a screw driver in between the bushing and the camber arm itself.

Ok now, I don't want to start a panic or anything like that, I went with Omni cause of Steve Omni man's name, but at this point with the coil overs, the clutch master cylinders and now my camber arms failing, I have to say, if ur running Omni anything take a look at it and make sure its not falling apart on you!






Here is a pic of what the bushings should look like, this was taken the day I installed these on my 96 coupe.

Well, luck is with me on the 93 sel dol, it all looked good, the allens were still pretty tight, no warping or problems with the arms, ball joint was tight.
