Ok I have a Ingalls front camber kit 0-3 deg. I lower my car like 2.5-3" so I got this camber kit. When I went to install it even at the lowest setting it was rubbing the inter wheel well. I took a look back at the instructions and it said you might have to make mods to the inter wheel well. So thats what I did. I cut my inter well with a saw so the upper control arm had room to move outward.

Now the problem is that my upper control arm is hitting the top of the wheel well when ever I go over a bump! Is there anything I can do? I had to raise my car back up so it wont hit. Has anyone had this problem? In the stock setting there is about 1-1.5" more space to go upward than what I have. I was thinking about smashing up the inter fender but I hood has metal that comes down on the sides. I dont know what to do. Should I just get rid of my camber kit and only lower 1.5" or what.

Let me know

"inter" ????? Would that be INNER or OUTER?

inner

like where you upper control arm goes.

i had the same problem with my speciality products kit and coilovers there's 2 things that i was told can be done about it.

1) Where the control arm is hitting the wheel well, there should be scratches or marks. Take a hammer and pound that spot up, giving the control arm more space to move.

2) There's like a small flange that's right on the end of the upper control arm. That is what's hitting, i have pics of mine that is now bent if u want to see. You can grind that off, then weld a bead seam around that same spot to ensure strength.

wow you must be really really low. Im lowered about 3 inches in my avenger with that same ingalls kit(is it the extreme kit) and nothing rubs at all, and i can only fit one finger inbetween the tire and fender, sometimes less.

I cut out the inner fender, so I dont have the problem with it bending. Smashing up the fender with a hammer is what I was planning to do, but If I go to far then my hood will stick up. and will the metal just bend up or could it crack? Thanks for your help.

I just installed the same kit today, and my buddy at tire kingdom had to bend the control arm a little bit to make sure that I wouldn't rub, kinda scary though, but hey.....at least I won't be eating up tires every 4 months whenever I get my new wheels.

How much did you adjust? I did 3 deg. because my back tires are a little off with the $15 kit. Let me know. Is your control arm still going where the stock one went?

Well I have a 2" drop but the last time I got my camber checked I was almost 3 degrees off!! Damn, so I had to get the Ingalls and now i'm back to spec and yes the arm is in the same place BUT it's bent....hope that helps
