camber kit suggestions

hello again... been looking for a not so expensive (but good) camber kit on e-bay. Got really lost among all the options... can anyone suggest? don't want to spend so much, not for racing, not lowered, stock wheels (235/45 R17)just need to adjust to stock factory specs. Camber just a bit off in front (rear is ok). thanks in advance

I bought the Ingalls ball joints and the boots cracked 3-4 months after I installed them. Then I read the warranty, 90 days. I was also told they were the lowest profile but they are the same as every other brand. And they are made in Taiwan. I paid extra $ to get a good quality part but if were to do it again I'd get the cheapest Ebay ball joint I could find. Probably made at the same factory as Ingalls parts.

If you don't want a no name part, Moog, SPC, Northstar Manufacturing and McQuay-Norris have been around for a long time and have a better warranty, some have a lifetime warranty and they are a lot cheaper.

If you are going to pay to have them installed, have the shop order the parts. If something goes wrong with a part you brought in to have installed, they have no responsibility for it. Then you have to deal with the vendor and he'll just tell you "I just sell them, if it's a warranty issue, take it up with the manufacture."

Very weird that you'll need a camber kit on stock suspension with stock wheels. You may have something thats bent.

I think you really need to tear into the front suspension and figure out what is causing this issue instead of placing a band-aid over it.

for the rear get the wicked tuning camber kit... i got that and it's qualityy..

u can adjust the toe at the rear using the stock parts I was told by a few DLRs so u don't have to spend like 180 on the ingall smart arms


as for the front i'd get the adjustable control arms made by ingalls so u don't run into clearance issues.

i've heard some have it hit the bottom of the strut mount which is something that made me just pay the 300 or w/e it was.


and this weekend it'\s all going on.... pending weather that is.

I agree. Has it been in an accident? Maybe you've got a control arm bushing thats bad or something else is deff out. Stock setup you should need anything else.

Two different mechanics have checked front and can´t find anything wrong. I once hit a side walk (don't ask) that busted both front tires and rims... and had to drive 10 miles with both front tires blown (again, don't ask). Replaced 4 wheels and tires, went for aligment, all was fine but now tire is wearing on the inside edge (toe) aligment shop shows slight camber of +0.8º. How can I confirm if there is a faulty part? un-install everyting down there?

Search for bent parts.

If you hit the curb hard enough to require new wheels, theres a chance you tweaked something. Check the lower control arms specifically.

Ingalls makes the best rear kit for your vehicle. (38720 is the part #). We have them listed on our website (you need a qty of 2 to complete the rear of the car).

The front kit from Ingalls will depend on how much your camber is off.
