Got Ingalls front camber kit for my 91 Crx and they don't fit on my upper control arms. 2 mm wider! I saw a thread concerning that but it doesn't seem normal to modify the control arms. Shouldn't it just fit in snug? Have any of you have the same problem? Or did Ingalls put the wrong part in the box?

NOTE: I have already changed my front upper control arm bushings for Energy suspension Polyrethane before this new set-up. Is it possible that I squeezed the space when I bolted back on?

Yeah I had the same problem, I had to bend the metal using screwdrivers, pliers, adjustable wrenches and lots of force. Once you get it in there, tighten it to spec and then it should be fine. Take it to a shop, have them align it. I took mine to sears and they fixed alignment to literally perfect spec.

 

They are a very tight fit.

I used some 2x4s, screwdrivers, and a 3-lb mini sledge...just keep pouding, and they'll go in.

Once you get the first one done, you'll know what works and the others wont be so bad.

 

arent u suppossed to bang in the inner fender wall for clearance?

 

That depends on how you adjust it...but he's talking about getting those damn bushings into the place where the original ones were...its fairly difficult, but not impossible.

 

Cool! Thanks for the info. By the way, what's this about modififying the inner fender?

 

some front camber kits hit the tower or the inner fender (the chassi part where the fender holds down to).
