three weeks ago i lower my lude with h&r race springs and kyb adjustable strut and install my rota battle 17" wheels with 205/40 tire. i waited 3 week to let the springs settle down before getting it align. this past Saturday i try to get it align but the machine show me that my camber setting are;

front left= -1.5* and front right= -2.4*(which got me worry)

rear left= -1.9* and rear right= -1.7*

i try to adjusted but i can,i need a camber kit ... i search around for a kit to go with Anchor Bolt made by Ingalls for the rear and i was thinking the same for the front but i have read to many different thing and my question is ;

can i install Anchor Bolt camber adjuster on the front of my 97 prelude? if not why ?

and yes i did search i found this which are great but did not answer my question completely

the fronts can only be ball joint replacements for the 5th gen prelude. the rear, anchor bolts are fine. with that drop, i am pretty sure that when you go with a camber kit up front, its going to have clearance issues with the ball joint hitting the top of the wheel well. myself, and many others have this issue. im not sure which kits dont have clearance issues with a race drop.

 

I had a very similar alignment reading to what you had. I am not familiar with Anchor Bolt, but what you want is something with 3 degrees adjustability that won't get out of whack every time you hit a pot hole. I got the Ingalls on the front, adjusted to 0 degrees, but after a few months of potholes, it needs alignment again. I wish they would make something solid enough for real world roads!

 

mine hasnt needed alignment yet, but yeah i wish they made a good camber kit for the prelude..something like the skunk2 full replacement for dc2s

hey man you should look into finding a place that does lifetime warranty. i paid $150 and i get lifetime alignments

 

can i install Anchor Bolt camber adjuster on the front of my 97 prelude? <U>if not why ? </U>

 

wh not use them? they make a kit for your car.

 

who make that kit? because all i heard is that you can only use ball joint but don't know why cann't the Anchor Bolt be install on the front of a 5 gen prelude.

 

no company makes anchor bolt replacements for the front on 5th gens...dunnoe why but if they dont make it juss assume it wont work

no because they dont make them for the front. just get ball joints already

 

a simple question... can i or can i not install Anchor Bolt camber adjuster on the front of my 97 prelude? if not why ?
i do not care if they make it or not for this prelude!!!

 

a simple answer can be found:

you may have clearance issues though with the inner fender with anything tha tpushed the conrol arm outwards though.

 

i dont think thats the answer he was looking for
i beleive the bushing on the upper control arm for the 5th gen is different from the 4th gen
the 4th gen upper control arm ends "clamp" the bushing on 2 sides...
i cant explain how the 5th gen looks

thank you SnlpeR, finally someone that knows

 

so any solutions to "clearance issues with the ball joint hitting the top of the wheel well"?? besides raising the car?

 

cut a big hole on close to where your shocks bolt to under your hood...
the lump right next to it.
thats where it bottoms out.
careful tho coz it might reach your hood
