#28540, "camber kit questions"




          

ok if i missed this in a search i apologize
but what is the difference between an adjustable ball joint and adjustable anchor bolts for camber correction

i definetly need camber kits because when my car was up on the lift for the new exhaust installation the inside of each front tire is worn. I have thought about this before but never got around to doing it.

and was reading that the SPCs are pretty good quality so i was thinking about them for the fronts

i looked on this website
http://www.iapdirect.com/catalog_items.asp?vid=14

the rear looks easy
the 25 dollar ingalls bolt swap thing

the front has adjustable ball joints
spc part#67370
and adjustable anchor bolts spc part#87590

do I need both parts to adjust camber or if not which one would be better?

thanks

Pretty sure this info is around here somewhere.
I looked into this a little for my car so I'll share my reasoning too.
Anchor Bolts: replaces both stock anchor bolts either side of the strut mount, this moves the entire top bracket/arm out to correct camber. This design has had problems with the top bracket hitting the fender.

Balljoint: My preferred design. This only replaces the single balljoint at the front of the top bracket, this moves only the arm out to correct camber. (no fender clearance issues that I know of)

i am sure that its here somewhere i just dont know enough about suspension to really understand what i am reading and dont want to make a mistake in my ignorance

thank you for clarifying what each part does. to avoid fender clearance problems i am going with the spc adjustable ball joints

now i just need an alignment to see if i need the extreme angle ones or not

ok i had the car aligned on sat

front left -1.6
front right -1.6
back left -3
back right -2.69

both the ingalls and the spc adjustable ball joint have a -1.5 to 1.5 kit and a up to 3 kit for the front
so i went ahead and got the up to 3 kit so i wasnt maxing out the adjustment

on the rear the home depot mod would be a lot of washers
and the ingalls camber bolt and washer setup for 25 dollars isnt enough of a change

so i am going with the ingalls extreme rear kit as well

the ball joints are more expensive but even the place i bought them
iapdirect said that you can run unto clearance issues with the adjustable anchor bolts so its better to go with the ball joints
