well if you got new cambers and it's still doing it you need to adjust you're toe settings. check your tracktion system,tire rods, and steering stops. allignment

camber kit installs aren't hard, but based on your ability to spell, and general grammer, it probably will be 'brain crackin' for you. Also, you'll need a real alignment when you're done, you can't do that in your garage.

i bought a skunk2 pro series kit and installed it myself. this was my first time doing something of that sort. it wasnt as hard as i thought at first. unbolt the old one. bolt in the new one. you can do the labor yourself. but you dont sound very smart so i do believe it will be "brain crackin" for you. the alignment can not be done by you. take it to a shop.

someday, after you've grown up some, you'll look back on how you used to talk and wonder how you could have been so stupid. and typing in all caps doesn't help get your point across, if anything it just makes you look like a douche.

the camber install should be straight forward. i went through an engine swap with zero knowledge of cars.

some advice: don't take it personal

everybody on honda-tech that flames/flamed either got picked on too many times when they were kids or their brother use to touch them funny. flaming is their method of getting even with the world i guess. i got banned twice already i and i was a member since 2000 . the moderators in the GDD (REiD) couldn't handle my complexity LoL and just made up some bullshit to ban me... other than automobiles, you shouldn't worry too much about anything else.

when you say the adjustable ball joint type i must assume you mean the entire upper control arm setup, skunk 2/omni or other rip off design because i highly doubt you spent the money for the spc's lol, quite easy to install, should only take about half an hour baring any unforseen problems (rust/corosion broken bolts). i would personally just adjust the camber correction with a standard carpentry level. this of course should only be temporary until you can to shop for an alignment.

get the car ellinnedded, your toe is probably causing the tire wear, but get it aligned and see if the wear stops

considering he said he is using gc springs it probably means he dropped the ride height significantly, i imagine in this case the drop will make the camber wear look just as bad or worse than the effected toe wear. in anycase, even after an alignment to adjust his toe, he would still have to install the camber kit and get another alignment, so i see no valid advice in telling him to get an alignment before installing the new control arms.

That's a poor excuse for horrible spelling. By the way, you misspelled the word "fuken".

lol....

give the man some props, at least he bought a camber kit! he could be riding around on steelies in the front because he wore the tires out in a week...


I would suggest taking it to Merchants, NTB, or Tire Kingdom. buy the 1 year alignment plan for your car for 69-89.00.....walk around to the guy that does the alignments and slip him 20.00 to put in the camber kit.

1. it will be done correctly.
2. if you raise and lower the car once, you will need to get it aligned again.
3. coil overs are not installed correctly unless you corner balance the car.

i would be more than willing to bet that this guy does not have any need for correct corner balancing, and i'm not sure what kind of alignment shop you go to, but they most likely will not offer corner weight balance jobs under the 69.99 1 year alignment policy.

LOL, I did not mean that about the shop...just that without a corner balance, the alignment will not be 100%....more reason to buy an alignment program, that gives you free realignments for a full year.

First off, its not a spelling B, but seeing as all we have to go by is your ability to spell, and you seem to want to spell as ghetto as you probaly speak, then we are going to assume you have the brain pan of the general IDIOT that walks down the street with their pants half way down their legs and their boxer's showing, and who knows, maybe the price tag still on their hat?

Anyway... to answer your question, installing the camber kit (CAMBER, NOT KAMBER brainiac) is relatively simple...

Imma spell it out fo ya my *****, k yo?

1. Get a G.E.D.
2. Get a Job YO!
3. Cash your paycheck yo!
4. Go to a local repair shop cuz, you aint neva gonna do it yourself YO!
