Ingalls Rear Camber Question

I need to pick one up so I can go ahead and start my installation. However I was concerned about the fact that I remember hearing that they rust up. Does anyone know if they fixed this problem in their new batch of camber kits?

Also I couldn't find that one thread where someone posted a pretty good price for it online. $130 Shipped or something of the sort, anyone know which post that was?

I mean, to what extent does the rusting happen? If it'll be an issue after 3 years of insatll and driving in Chicago weather, I'd rather not deal with it and get it powder coated. If not then i guess I can care less.

the surface rusts, it looks ugly, but it hasn't stopped anyone's from working. if you care what they look like, paint or powder coat them, otherwise just slap them in

thats exactly how it is. I couldnt deal with the rust being that I show my car but they still worked fine cause it was surface rust exactly like xizor said.

The factory bush is about 75% metal with thin rubber coating and rigid. Ingalls bush is thick rubber and gives.

Ingalls bush gives resulting in bump steer and alignment changing.
It looks like nothing works like the stock bushings.
I only heard of one other guy complain of the tire wear and alignment issues
here.
I could align mine every month and would be different every time, depending
on state of squeezing out of place and displacement of the thick rubber.

I had to change to SPC upper link which also has a thick rubber bush
but this link is carrying little load so not as bad as problems with weak lower bushings.

I thought about building my own out of hime joints. I also thought about
building adjustable links by cutting off ends of stock links. Stock links
are hollow tube and not much metal to be cutting threads into and I gave up on that. It does appear stock link tube can be reamed out, pressing in and welding a rod, then threading and sleeving the rod. I still want to try this to get stock bushings in an adjustable link.

The pictures now look like the ingalls bush has been modified, something else
is on the sides of bushings.
