Has anyone installed an eBay front camber kit?? I have a set and I'm wondering if anyone has pics or a story they can share.

 

I wouldn't ever trust ebay brand suspension components...you'd have to replace the bushing+ ball joint in under a year I bet. spend the extra do it right the first time

 

Had some for a lil over a year. So far good.

 

Ebay doesnt produce front camber kits.

 

i didn't know ebay made camber?

now if you was to say you bought or have a camber kit from so and so on ebay that would of made more sense and it would of probably ring a bell for someone who had bought from so and so to give your their opinion.

i buy most of all my part on ebay, but i never buy the cheap stuff, i have wicked tuning front and rear chamber that i bought from for 6 year now and i daily beat the hell out of them on bumpy road and pot holes ended up with 2 set of bent rim one set of blown shock even hit the top of my wheel well with them and they are still fine. i have a buddy who had some skunk2 on his del sol and he said the 4 little bolt that are use to adjust the camber suck because they keep breaking he later bought some skunk2 style imitation and said they are actually better gave him the camber he want and no broken bolt.

Do it if that's what your budget allows.

 

What brand are they? You can buy very good parts on eBay as-well-as crap. There's not a necessary corollary to either good or bad parts on eBay even though there's a lot of folks implying that there is.

Super good resource available for free here. It'll show and tell you what you need. You might also find a *Honda specific* vid or two on YouTube to view before you get started.

 

Since when is eBay manufacturing or even selling their own brand of anything?

 

"Ebay" has become a term or descriptor for generic, low cost, substandard/low quality, copied, untested merchandise. Not limited to car parts.

 

Agreed, as a *term*, it's been driven to that. But, like a lot of popularized use of terms in this dysfunctional culture, it's not an *accurate or necessary* corollary. People can buy/sell crap on eBay, or they can buy/sell new and used quality on eBay. An honest and accurate representation acknowledges both are available. That's my point. It's being misused in tupid pop culture as representative of the former only, and done so by people who should know better.

 

True. Hence the reputation Ebay has scares people away from it. ****, I find crazy deals on good quality product and have been since 2001 and 1000+ positive transactions.

 

True. It's kinda the same thing as the term *junk* yards. I can't tell you how many hundreds of dollars I've saved on parts for car and home projects and repairs by buying used. So it goes...

 

I was using a set of JDM Sport upper control arms and the ball joints went bad after only 2 years as did the bushings. I will be rebuilding the with some Energy suspension bushings and Skunk2 or Blox ball joints. You get what you pay for. Oh and the bolts for the ball joint are cheap and round off easily and I have had the ball joint slip out of location because of the poor clamping force of the cheap bolts and ball joint style.

 

I run the S2 ball joints and the ES bushings throughout. Their UCA ball joints are over-size and tend to last a bit longer.

 

what grumble said, "ebay brand" aka no name junk. even if I had said ebay camber kit you'd have tired to correct me . i'm not about to look up the exact brand of camber kit OP is asking us about...there's way to many to list

 

Has the word ebay in front of it so must be good

 

Read grumble's response to my post (ref. #10) again. He got it (ref. #11) - and agreed, (making elaboration to further his agreement.

In written thread land, I have to respond to you by what you said- although I grant context charity in doing so. Be nice to get the same back. Equivocal and/or misleading comments (unintentional or not) are worthy of correction. It's called being responsible. You should be thankful that some people, give enough of a squat about you, to take the time to do so.

There's nothing wrong with being accurate and true to context. Easy honest question. If you don't want to engage than don't. Your choice.

 

WTF - I'll ask. What Brand are they?

 

Please forgive me for being soo broad and using the term eBay brand. The name of the comapny is called Top Racing USA and attached is a pic

 

yeah...untill you hit a pot hole and the camber adjustment goes way out and you veer off the road. been there...done that...

 

So this has happened to you?? ****, I already installed them.. Hopefully I can get a way without having to get forced off the road

 

Like I said mine slipped on me. Get rid of those cheap bolts that hold the ball joint to the UCA and replace them with some nice grade 8 bolts.

 

I replace the washers and lock washers with some strong washers. The ones that came with the kit bent too easily when I tightened the bolts

 

Good so did mine. But being they are Allen head bolts and are a cheap soft metal they will round out really easy since you need to get them pretty tight to keep them from slipping. A better bolt will really help.

 

how low are you that you need one?
