Default Where to get replacement bushings for Ingalls Camber Kit?

I have an Ingalls front camber kit, and on one of them the bushing went bad. When I saw it, I tightened up the bolt, but my wheel has a slight rock. If my inspector is being picky, I might not pass inspection. Where can I get a replacement bushing without out having to purchase a whole new kit? Do they sell them? I see something in Autozone which looks a bit similar, but I do not know if they might work.

Where can I get replacements?

The anchor bolt style, the ones that move the entire control A arm in and out to adjust camber. The cross bolt that is screwed in to adjust the position, the bushing in it is worn out. I had seen the rubber dangling one day when I was looking under my fender, and tightened up the bolt, then I realized the bushing as bad. It is not as major safety issue and wont fall apart, but the assembly has a slight play due to the bushing being bad.



The rubber washer looking thing with a silver bore spacer in the middle. THe rubber part was torn up. I havent taken it apart to see what might be going on with it as yet. I saw the rubber piece dangling and tightened it up. but it still has a slight play in it.

i'd call ingalls in the morning. they are in colorado so keep that in mind when calling. they have great customer service and might be able to work something out for you.

Anchor bolt camber kits are notorious for having these problems. They usually start wearing out after about 8 or so months of use. The factory bushings however never go bad so its always better to go with ball joint camber kits instead. Another option is to have an alignment specialist adjust your camber by bending the actual spindle itself, with this option you dont have to replace the ball joints or bushings.

I emailed Ingalls, and they said that the rubber bushings are not user replaceable but the polyurethane ones are. They said it will cost $42.59 or $74.73 for both wheels kits. I am not sure where on mine is worm. I do not want to mess with it and not be able to have it work again. This sucks.

DO you know where is the common wear points for these anchor type camber kits? How can I tell if I have the polyurethane or the rubber ones? This sucks. If I am to take them out and send them back in, that mean that I might be out of my car for a while.
