just wondering if anyone else has ever had the happen i was driving home the other day and the left front of my car started making a ton of loud clunking and banging noises over every little bump on the road...

this is what i found


i called the co and of course i got the "we have been making that kit for years and have never had that happen!!" anyway its in the mail and hopefully they are generous and send me a new one

 

omg i have that same one too. it recently came loose on me too. im thinking about buying a different one now, anyone got some ideas?

 

Who makes the kit? just curious

x2 those look like the camp1320 kits

 

I had the same ones on my DA and the pass. one came lose every two months no matter what torque and thread locker i had on it.

 

you try drilling for a set screw?

 

if all you people have this problem why dont you state the brand ,either the kit garbage or you people install wrong

 

I bought the ingalls upper ball joint camber kit for just the reason. I have heard of this happening to other people with those type kits

 

ebay kit?

 

most likely egay......

 

Bummer for not sharing who makes the kit....you guys should let us know who makes it, so your fellow CRX and EF Owners can have that in their mental Database.... you guys

 

Give the guys a break... it's only been a few hours. Don't know about you but I'm not surfing the forums 24/7.... Probably ebay crap... we'll see.

 

i have this ebay kit for 2 years never had a problem.

 

I wonder if over torquing the bolt could have anything to do with it? just wondering

 

I bought a similar set off of EGAY and took them out right away as my car would constantly "clunk" with them in place. I contacted the seller many times to arrange a return and they kept telling me to work with their tech guy. The tech guy was useless as all he could say was "you must have installed them wrong we sell these kits all the time and have never had a complaint".

Just so you don't think I'm some sort of shade tree boob I was an Acura Master mechanic and I think I know how to install something this simple.

I have also just recently learned another valuable lesson about getting what you pay for from EGAY with my shitty steel braided brake lines. I bought a set for ~$70 delivered and have had to replace them within 10k miles due to leaks in both front lines. The company sent me the first one for $15 because it was just over 1 year when I contacted them, after the second one started to leak I didn't bother contacting them I just spent the $110 bucks on a new set.

BTW if you want a replacement set of those camber adjusters a have like new set for CHEAP!!!

 

anyone had problems with the Skunk 2 camber kit?

 

I just install a kit similair to it that what is on my crx that I broke that I bought off ebay I torque them to much.

My buddy has one on his 93 ls se goes real smooth

 

sorry for not specifying it was an ebay kit that was sold to me supposedly as an ingalls kit it even came in the ingalls box i contacted ingalls about it and i sent it back

i have a feeling that i got screwed by the seller and lied to

also it did clunk right from the start when i put it in and it was not over torqued and it did keep coming loose

 

Cool, i wasnt saying that you over torqued or anything i was just wondering. I was actually hoping it was due to something like that because i was planning on getting one of those style kits. not sure if im going to now

 

i know that it was a cheap kit but it seemed to work really well except for the clunking, they didnt start coming loose until i went turbo.... i am curious if that is what did them in......

 

those kits are garbage anyway. The best and only kits I would install are the Specialty Products/Ingalls replacement upper ball joint.
The kit you have will just cause the uppercontrol arm to slap the frame when adjusted out. There are so many brands and such low quality in those kits that they are just a risk not worth taking.

 

How much does the ingalls ajustable upper ball joints run?

 

have you ever heard of the ball joint kits being too tall and bottoming out on the inner fender? the guy at ingalls asked me how far the car was lowered and when i told him that it was alittle over 2.5"s he told me that the ball joint mount adds about 5/16" to the top of the control arm

 

Dude...ingalls, dropzone, and all that other ****, is the same thing, a aluminium piece with black thread on it, "your camber kit" basically. I seen both, and they are the same, but mine looks like that and i installed it about a month ago and had it alighed, it seems fine, but when i hit a pothole or a dip, it just "clunk" or shaBAM pretty hard, but whada i know, i have blown shocks.
