All i have is an adjustable rear camber kit

Cough..ebay..cough

 

Upper? Lower? What is it adjusting?

 

Rear: Camber/Toe Adjustable Lower Rear Suspension Links- (Min-Max) -1.50° to +3.00°

 

Here is the pass side rear and you can see threads on both sides as it can still be adjusted if needed



Here is the drivers side and you cant see any threads on either side

 

 

beats me too, not even sure what step to take next

 

This is probably unlikely, but are you sure the tow arm and the camber arm weren't installed backwards? The camber arm is supposed to be the shorter one of the two, so if the longer one was installed by mistake, then you'd definitely not be able to pull in as much positive camber as intended.

FWIW, I just went out and peeked under my car on both sides and there are plenty of threads left on both sides of the camber arm of my Ingalls kits (passenger and driver's sides). This isn't my car, but my arms look very similar to this in terms of visible threads:



I'd ditch the ebay kit and invest the money in the Ingalls.

 

yea they are correct as far as the short arm and longer arm and i know the ebay kit wasnt the best bet but it still isnt adding up

pass



drivers

 

If you have time, go measure the length of your driver's side camber arm (tube only, between the jam nuts) and I'll measure mine to compare.

 

Dumb question, but the two camber arms are the same length, right?

EDIT - ^ He beat me

 

will do, ill get a measurement of everything just incase

 

Just tried to measure (it's dark and my car is a bit low), but the camber arm tubes appear to be 8.75".

 

ebelp

both drivers sides are 10" long, both pass are 9"

will get the shop that put it on tomorrow to switch them out



i would have never thought about it

 

John ftw.

 

 

hopefully i can get them to pay for the damn alignment again now

 

They fucked up, theres no reason they shouldnt.

 

Thats what im thinking but we know thats not always how it works

 

Dan...I don't want to be a fkn ahole here...but if these are J power camber kits...get a fkn refund from them ASAP and invest in either a quality 2 arm lower kit, or get a 1 arm upper kit.

The bushings on these are total shit, my friend. Morgan hit it with his initial response in addition to them being installed improperly. (should have been pretty obvious, the "body" of 2 of them were smaller than the others.

read this, post 27, although the TSX guys say they're fine:

Take a curve or a turn at high speeds...see if the car feels stable. For me, from day ONE, I'd take a turn and the car had this weird wobble to it. Nevermind every time I'd get it aligned and everything would be "within spec"...then get home and one tire was pointing outward. Inners of my rear tires went within 10k of having these...

I was the first to say it's a piece of metal, I don't need name brand...but after being totally confused by my fkn alignment, I finally reinstalled my oem arms and yes, camber was negative again, but guess what I found, BOTH the longer rear arms...the bushings had almost pushed out of their perch in arm.

I am not one of these "the sky is falling" kinda guys...but my advice is to ditch them and get a fkn refund and buy quality. Or NOTHING...I'd rather have the negative camber than what these fkn arms did for my car and the way it handled. In hindsight, as unstable as it drove when maneuvering, cornering, going around curves or dodging semi's on the highway...

And when I emailed them after a year saying WTF are you selling people...no response.

J.

 

Thanks man

My brother has them and been using them for a year and had no complains so i didnt think twice. I deffinitly dont want to risk safety over a few extra bucks so ill check out that ingalls kit

 

Well, again, don't take my experience as gospel, bud...
but, having been a convert from claiming that all these things are the same thing...I wanted to share.
Especially since you have your growing family riding in your car!

 

Thanks man, any advice on AZ is appreciated

 

Ditto, trust me. If not for AZ. I'd probably be dead by now...and whatever money it's cost me to MOD because of AZ, it's also saved me from having to pay someone else to do the work for me.

 

Redid the engine bay today. Decided to keep it simple so I painted the engine plaque and do all the coversin a gloss black with a few coats of clear

 

Love EVERYTHING but the ACURA on the intake.
Great job, Dan.
Thought about hitting the raised letters on the intake with a razor blade to make them silver again?

 

^I was going to say the same thing...the decal on the intake is a bit tacky IMO. I think you should paint it gloss black as well. Might as well paint the coolant reservoir black while you're at it.

 

I actually like the decal. And I plan on doing the reservoir and washer fluid cap in gloss black.

Never thought about doing the letters on the plaque like that but like the sound of it.

 

+3 on the ACURA on the intake Dan....but hey till you DIGG it...thats all that matters....

About the ACURA on the intake manifold cover....why not do it white so it will match the reservoir that will add some nice contrast to the bay

 

not sure what to do about that yet I'll let you know later today or just my post up some pictures

by the way does anyone know if it's really hard to swap out those adjustable camber arms? if I can do it my garage I'd rather do that than drive all the way back down to that shop since I already know which to need swap

 

That looks nice, Dan. I see you went crazy with the colors!

 

Kept the theme going.

 

Steven

 

LOL....I see that. Still, well done!

 

Had to make the engine bay tasteful since my drop isn't

 

Dan,
Jack up the rear, put a jackstand under too.
You can easily unbolt and swap the sides. Especially since you know the bolts have recently been undone/redone. BUT, if you swap them how will you prove they made a mistake and should realign for free?

 

I got the alignment some where else. The place that installed the suspension basically told me over the phone that their sorry but can't help me with the cost of another alignment. Rather just swap them over my self and save the headache of this place working on the car again.

 

but, they installed them improperly, right!?
Dan, you're old enough to know that sh*t doesn't fly. If they installed it wrong and then proceeded to ALIGN it wrong because of it, they will need to redo it. Ask for a manager, or threaten to go to corporate.

 

Trust me I know. It just isn't worth the headache over $25. The shop that installed the suspension is not a chain store. Just a local performance type shop. The owner is the one who offered to swap them over but said he couldn't do anything about the alignment I got else where. The guy that aligned it said he'd redo the alignment for $25 so I'll swap them over myself and avoid the trouble with the first shop.

 

Oh, my bad. I assumed the one that put them in ALSO aligned it.
$25...fk that, that's cheap. Go for it.

 

Yea I will

Damn I'm up to 43.8 % activity. Too much time on AZ I guess
