sooo i read this FAQ's on washer camber kit... how many washers would i need for my 96 accord.... its probley 3" of ground...( enough to fit front of a shoe under or so...) im thinking 6?

and what size are these bolts im getting? same ones but lil longer?
(honda dealer orr?) any info would be great... im not sure how to tell how many washers i need so it wont rub. I would like to try this out and post feedback!

Thanks

Did you read the FAQ? I even updated it with pictures as to what you need to purchase. The washers are not going to solve a rubbing problem, they'll solve camber.

welll i seen ur pics very nice detailed etc... im not really rubbing its just my tires are lil bald on the inside of the tire... cuz camber im thinkin... im running 17" tires/rims... and probley 3" off the ground..

and for sizes... those sizes posted is wat i need... and as for how many washers?

I used 6 or 7 washers on each side and corrected about 1.5 to 2 degrees of camber. The bolts can probably take another one or two washers but not much more than that.

nickoz

yah but what is camber exact? ppl are telling me i need camber kit cuz its so low to the ground.

how do i stop rubbing also?

Camber is the way your tires are "tilted" towards or away from the car...like so:


Lowering your car will have given you some negative camber. This can actually be beneficial to your handling, to a certain point, but will also give you uneven tire wear.

this is false.

reasoning? proof? just talking out of your bum?

nickoz

thanks for picture! welll here is the thing... my tires all 4 or wearing on the inside... everywhere else is fine!....my alignment is shity... i bring it to get aligned and guy tells me he did the best he could cuz car is lowered... i just want no wear on tires, and my steering wheel back to normal instead of lil off to right...

Yeah, I'd go with the washer trick in the rear. An ingall's camber kit up front will also be helpful, and then getting it re-aligned (maybe by someone with some experience with lowered cars would be good).

nickoz

this ingall's camber kit ....is it balljoints ? adjustable oneS? if so i thought upper control arm has to be replaced ...i thought you cant just pop in new upper balljoint in...itts all as one... let me know how you did this so i can order one... just wanna make sure before i order ... thanks
