4676, Ingalls front camber kit problem
Posted by mrnic001, Nov-27-01 10:30 AM
I just put on my Ingalls front camber kit and I cant get it aligned due to the fact that the upper "A" arm is hitting the frame on the inner fender. I do I cure this problem?
Do the sell a special upper "A" arm or a shortened one?
I need one ASAP to complete my suspension.

Please respond ASAP. Almost undriveable!!!!!!!!

I think you have only two options. One just cut out the fender a little bit. Or two just adjust the camber as far as it will go without hitting the fender. Thats how I have mine adjusted just about as far as it will go. The tire won't wear fast, it will only put it out of specs very little. There is a range just out side of what the camber should be at, it's ok to be in that range.

I had to re-do my whole suspension cause I did a hack job the first time. Right now I have a 1.5 with front and rear Ingalls camer kit, consisting of............Eibach sportlines and AGX adjustables.

How do I cut or bend that section of the inner fender well?
And will it compromise the integrity.

How low do you all have your cars and what size rims? I have ingalls extreme camber kits with Skunk2 coilovers set all the way down ridin on 16's my car is pretty damn low, I can't go over any speed bumps and you can't even put your foot under my front end. You can't put your fingers inside the wheel well, the tire touches the fender pretty much. Now my question is how low are your cars that you are hitting you fenders and shit? Do your wheels tuck? I seem to have no problem at all with my set up.

OK I dropped my car like 2.5". You can still get one finger between my tire and my fender, but that's not the problem! the problem is:

-When I got my camber kit I could not even use it because it made my upper control arm was rubbing the inner fender, so I took a jig saw and cut out my inner fender. Now I have the camber set a 3 Deg. So When you look at it where the upper control arm whent when the car had stock camber it has so much more room to go so much higher, and this is the problem.

-There isn't enough room for the upper control arm to go up when I hit a bump. Before I got my camber kit I had no problem because it had stock camber and had the room go up, but no there is no room.

-I think I need to pound the upper inner fender, or something.

-I'm running arrowspeed coil overs and kyb struts.
