well my car is a 92 hatch dx. it's lowered almost 4 inches, so i installed the ingalls front camber kit and i can only have it on the smallest setting which gets rid of very little camber and i can't max it all out to to it's 3 degree setting. That's because when i do, the upper control arm hits the freaking fender and the car just rests on the upper control arm. Does anybody know how to fix this?

btw i did do a search but couldn't find anything with this exact same problem and its solution.

 

roll the inner part of the fender, they recommend this on very low cars to get the full camber adjustment.

 

Rolling the fender wont help, you need to trim the upper a-arm and part of the car.
Its not the fender, its a piece welded to the frame.

 

a 4 inch drop is too low- unless you get some drop forks and trailing arms

 

ok i am willing to trim some of the upper control arm but i really don't want to drill anything in the car, would that be possible?

 

try it and find out.

 

what about these adjustable ball joints that they have? should i maybe buy those?

 

I had the same problem with those ugly ingalls camber kit on my 89 crx w/ only eibach springs (something like 1.5" drop). Get the ones with joints.

 

forks.... you NEED them to drop your car that low and correct the camber w/o destroying something. 4" is pretty damn severe. a camber kit and the stock suspension stufffff won't work

 

how much do these forks cost and what exactly do they do, i really don't wanna modify the body of the car.

 

I had the same problem with my accord. I had the speciality products camber kit for about 3 hours then I switched to the Offset balljoints. Those sockcucking things had a huge bolt on top that would smack the top of the inner fender. Finally I said " This is nucking Futs! I don't care if I go through 2 sets of tires a summer!" Cuz iM a BallAr, 20 inCh BlaDeZ oN dA imPAlA!

 

The seam that your upper control arm hits can be modified-use tin snips to cut BETWEEN the spot welds(cut as far up as you can),use pliers to bend these tabs away from your UCAs,then hammer them flat and check for clearance-you may have to grind a little off the UCAs(watch those ball joints!)or set your kits so they have a little neg. camber if they still won't clear.Good luck!

 

raise the car. it'll ride, handle, and look nicer.
