I have a 2015 jeep patriot on bc racing coils. I didn’t want the rear camber so I put some Godspeed camber arms on that say they fit but are actually for I think a Hyundai or something. The arms are scraping on my rear axle. Other than the 350$ arms through bc racing, I thought about the cheap 45$ car parts .com arms. Has anyone had any experience with lowering camber on the jeep patriot. I thought about welding/fabricating my own but was curious if the 45$ ones work

Lowered with rear camber

The Truedrive (if that's what you're looking at) looks like a copy of the SPC arms that Moog repackages and sells.
I have a set of SPC arms and they do work, but IDK if they'll have enough adjustment for what you're doing. Rock Auto sells them for about $60 each.

they seem like a more structurally sound version of the ones I was looking at. I’m not sure if “oem” adjustables work or if I’m better off welding modifications to what I have
I have noticed that when I adjust the arms for more positive, as in making the camber flush. The arms linked to go down, curving lower. And I’ve seen lowered patriots before with flush camber but none of them have responded to me about it.

I think the SPC style arm is thinner so it might clear without rubbing.
I suppose you could grind the edge of the arm down so it clears, but you shouldn't have to if it's actually made for your application.

i didn’t think about the thinness being able to clear it, the Godspeed arms are thicker and after a bunch of the metal was ground off it doesn’t rub as much
I’ll or the arms then I guess let this thread know for others

The arms didn’t work, they were actually worse than the godspeeds. The moog arms were actually worse, when off the jacks the control arm sat on the axle holding it up.
the moog arms had one swivel ball joint and one fixed, as the Godspeed had dual swivel ball joints. Making the moog not be able to move away from the axle
mom going to try and fabricate my own, I believe if the arms didn’t have such a bow that it will fit like a glove

Lowering isn't exactly what Jeeps are meant for, but if you really wanna stick with it, these threads may help.
