#18406, "The $25 INGALLS proper camber adjustment"
Jun-14-03 09:35 PM by WickedESi



          

I suggest people who arn't buying the complete rear camber kit to buy the Ingalls $25 (shipped price) spacer kit. It consists of 16x2 thick, beefy, grade 10.9 washers, w/ proper seating area that ones from a hardware store DON'T provide, and 4x2 perfect sized grade 10.9 locking bolts.

I installed the kit yesterday and my camber is perfect (I'm on Eibach Sportlines ~2 inch drop, once settled).

Here is a link...
http://www.iapdirect.com/item.asp?invid=66

It says it only adjusts up to 1 degree, this is incorrect, it adjusts up to 2 degrees, each washer adjusts the camber by .5 degrees (everything is stated in the instructions), also the washers that come w/ the kit are waaaay thicker than the ones shown in that picture. It comes w/ detailed instructions w/ all the torque specs and everything.

Anyone else who's got this kit can vouch for me, using those small washers is dangerous.

Good stuff, thanks for the link. Do you have to order 2 kits to do both sides?

Nope, the $25 is for both sides (for the rear).

so you could buy this instead of buying the $100 rear camber kit? Or does this have to be used with the rear camber kit?

Instead =] $25 and your done.

The only difference between the $87 (or however much it is) ingalls rear camber kit is that it comes w/ new brackets (which are expensive peices), but it still uses the washer kit to adjust.

Remember, you still need to get your car aligned after dropping your car and correcting the camber, the extreme toe will eventually get you in an accident.

yeah, the car got aligned after it was dropped and I'll have it realigned after the camber kit is on. Another thing, is the camber kit a basic thing to install or should I just let the shop install it and align it? Thanks

Luke

It's a peice of cake to do if you have a nice variety of sockets, rachet wrenches, closed-end wrenches, extensions, wd-40, a breaker bar, and torque wrench.

If you put your springs on you can definately put the camber kits on.

The back one took longer because to "properly do it" you have to take off the spindle (3 bolts), which is easy to do with the wheel off, unbolt the spindle brackets, put the spacers on, then torque the spindle bolts back up once you put on the spacers (so the spindle sits correctly on the bushings w/ the new camber). It's much easier than I just made that sound.

The front takes less time because you *don't* remove the wheels, because you have a work surface to rest the spindle on (it swivels if you don't take off spindle to control arm ball joint).

Step by step instructions are included in all the Ingalls kits, including torque amounts.

I got my car aligned this morning, and they fine tuned the camber by subtracting some of the washer's I didn't need. Sears has this Ingalls kit in there computer at their aligning stations.
