Ingall vs. SPC front camber kit?

I'm looking to replace my front ball joint (There is a slight wobble to it and feel it would be dangerous to keep driving around on it).

In any case, it's an SPC front camber kit and I've heard here and there that Ingall's is definitely the way to go because:

1. it is shorter and won't have the same problem of causing your control arm to hit portions of your car in the fender due to the lower profile.

2. overall a more quality kit.


couldn't find anything specifically devoted to this subject, but if anyone can chime in with their opinions and hopefully some source i'd greatly appreciate it.

thanks!

I decided to go with the Ingalls. Just had them installed. After reading up on a few posts, it appeared that Ingalls were favoured.

This is the same question on my mind also......Ingalls or SPC. where do you feel the wobble when your driving 55+ or have your car jacked up?

I have ingalls rear kits and love them, when I need the fronts, I'll pick them up because of my great experience with the rear camber kits

^^^Yeah, but didn't you get special treatment?

So the general consensus - at least for the first few posts is Ingalls for the front. What is everyone doing in the rear?

Yo Fire, true dat man. I got great service from Ingalls directly when I lived in Denver at their R&D shop, just coincidence since they were located there and I discovered first hand the differences in some 2003 models with the different arm lengths! But, my old aligner tech in Colorado said Ingalls is by far the easiest kit he has worked with, at least for the rears and he has worked with pretty much all camber kits he said. Now, I just need to find a good aligner here in the Ayyy...it seems like the Ingalls front kits have a good design also, so I'm going with them if I stray out of specs up front...since installing my rear kit, it actually helped get my front specs to get more within "acceptable range"

I'm running SPC in the front and rear. The rear is holding up well but the front boots are shredded but still holding up. This is after about a year and a half running on them.

I think for a first time buyer the Ingals kit is the way to go. With the Ingals kit you don't have to worry about pressing the ball joint out of the control arm. Granted you pay more due to the fact that you're getting the whole assembly.

Ingalls maybe taking the Win here.........can someone post the front camber kits, i know how the rear looks. I would like to know which part should i purchase for the front, i have seen the lower balljoint, the upper-arm with a balljoint and the 4 peice camber kit 2 for each side......which one is needed?

If you purchase the lower balljoints that they sell, will you ever have to replace your balljoint again? And does it last way longer than the OEM ones?
