Ingalls rear camber kit install EMERGENCY!

We could not install the toe adjustment bars that came with the kit due to poor quality of threads, the bar would not screw onto the mount properly. So instead, we just left the stock toe bar in and replaced only the camber bar. We would guess this is ok since this car has stock toe adjustment. But does anyone know if this is in someway bad for the car or handling or etc just replacing only the camber bar of the ingalls rear camber kit? anyone with this sort of experience, please reply, need feedbacks to feel safe.

Shouldnt be a problem. You'll have some negative camber, so you'll chew up tires a bit faster...Just get an alignment.

I hope you realize that there are both right and left hand threads and nuts with this kit, so not only do you need to make sure that you get the right nuts on the right ends, but then spin them the proper way........

When they installed my kit, they said the same thing too. I took it home and matched up each one perfectly. I can almost guarantee that yall are trying to screw in a right-handed thread into a left-handed thread.

Is it the very end where the thread problem is? If so, just cut off that end and you should be fine. The thread rod is long enough that it shouldn't be a problem with a little bit trimmed off. You can also try to use a file to repair the thread if necessary.

I don't think you will have enough adjustment to dial out the negative camber if you still have the stock toe arms. You need both arms on each side in order for you to dial out negative camber.

LOL. I spent about 30 minutes then packed them back up ready to be returned. Then it dawned on me that the ends would have to be threaded in opposite directions so turning the adjustment nut one way would pull the links together and vice-versa.

..... -_- ...... i know about the reversed threading. what im saying is the threads are really bad, half way into the pipe, it starts getting hard to twist the end into the pipe and it only does this for just one part of the whole set.

That being the case, have you called Ingalls directly? They are truly a great company to work with; I'm sure they would get a part right out to you.

You're going to need an alignment soon; it would be a shame to pay for one only to find that you can't dial it in correctly the way it sits now and have to go do it again......

I was so close to calling up the vendor and getting it exchanged, but then I took a clearer look at the instructions and realized I was being a dumass.

The install should be straight forward.

I did read your numerous posts, I was just commenting that I had the same experience. How about you just stop wasting time and send it back if that's the conclusion you've made and post again when you've figured things out.

Why are you quoting me? Clearly my message was not directed to you. We all know you figured out the reverse threading already. Here's a hint - just b/c you started the thread doesn't mean EVERY single message in it is directed to you.

Sure your not. We mentioned it because we have the Ingalls Camber Kit and experienced that problem. It happens more than you think because sometimes the end pieces get mixed up in shipping. Since each end has different thread patterns, it fools alot of people into thinking the threading is messed up. Weird or not, we were just trying to help a member. I am glad you are amused because I am very amused by your attitude...

Well, since you started a thread regarding Ingall camber kit installation problem, other members who have done the installation are simply offering some possible solution that might help with the situation. You made it sound like people are talking about something so obvious and elementary. But the thing is, the most difficult problems are caused by the simplest thing that we sometimes overlooked.

I remember not too long ago another member was having problems with his suspension installation. Everyone was trying to help out and offering advices including pictures of where to troubleshoot the problem. The original poster insisted that he did everything right and was following the instruction. Guess what? He didn't, and his suspension almost went through the hood. He later found the "extra" parts that he didn't install when it was so "obviously" mentioned to him.

We are here to help but not all information provided will solve every problem. However, there might be someone else reading this that have the answer but you might never find out if you keep rejecting people's offer to help.

Don't worry man, I say just send it back and hopefully they can get you a replacement set soon so that you don't have to run with the camber off for a long time. Let us know how it goes

hmmmm.......Simply rethread it or......Put it in a package, go to the post office, pay to send it out, wait weeks for it to return, get it, hope they fixed the problem, install it on your car.

I say have it rethreaded in like 5 minutes and call it a day!

I did have slight problem with the threads on one link, but a little filing took care of it.

Well, the difference is this is a "discussion forum". Not a "paid helpdesk". Some good information do come out from open discussions, and often the solution to a problem. The information provided might not be useful to you, but it might help others who are viewing the thread.

Should be a simple install Kai. If you do get in a snag, just post on this thread and I'm sure someone will respond quickly.
