well i just got done installing tein ss coilovers, complete ES bushing kit, new balljoints, and a full SPC camberkit front and rear. the fronts are adjustable ball joints. this is a 1990 honda civic 3dr

the problem is, in the front when i tried to get it aligned, and adjusted the camber kit out, if we were to put the weight of the tires back down, the adjustable balljoint would hit the inside fenderwell. What can i do?
we had to set it at -1.9 camber to clear the fenderwell

anyone else run into this problem? how can i fix it?

this was the hieght before with sagging sprint springs and blown shocks. I have since raised it about a 1" to 1.25"

 

cant anyone help me?

 

with the adjustable ball joints when you adjust out the camber they will hit the fenderwell, every one that i have seen (except for the rare few) have done that, most people cut a piece of the inside fenderwell (under the hood) so that it wont hit

 

do the ancor bolt kits have this problem?

 

i have the spc balljoints on my civic too and what i did was bend the fenderwell outward and then it was fine

Yes they do, but only if you have it lowered to much. I have mine lowered to 1", and they don't hit.

 

just to jump into this thread. if people had to re-do the camber kits what would they use?

 

not the achor bolts style. I would use the concentric upper ball joint style. I had the same problem. I cut and pounded the inner fender.

 

what did you guys pound it out with? or cut it, just give me a lil tips, i tried hammering, but it didnt want to budge much

 

i used a regular adjustable wrench to bend it

and i had both camber kits and i like the adjustable balljoints the best

 

sprint extreme camber kit !

I used a Saws-All to notch out part of the inner fender so the A-arm would clear.

 

will banging in/ cutting the inner fenderwell damage the body structure?

 

chop it. or bang it. the area u are bangin isnt a structural (however u spell it) support.

 

Hey, if you don't mind me asking, is that the WW kit? Those Skirts looks prety damn good, makes the car look even lower than it is.

I likee!

 

I had that problem wiht mine too...I just adjusted it to where it would just barely fit in there. you could actually here it scrapping the inside soemtimes. But after a while it wore iteself and groove and stopped sqeaking. I was mostly concerned for camber wear on my azenis...and that was plently. Was almost too much. But then again im not too much into tuning a suspension for competetion.

But there was nothign else i could figure out to do. I even tried to beat it out some but there is no room to swing a hammer...nor is it weak enough to bend...

I had the ingalls kit.

 

Do these camber kits have problems because the upper arm gets push outward more or further up? get what i'm asking?

thanks

it actually goes in the place of the stock ball joint, but this one slides back and forth so you can adjust the camber, they have pics on the SPC site, you will understand then http://www.specprod.com

Get pushed OUT more. so the will catch on an edge up in the wheel well, and cause it to rest on it and not be lowered all the way

 

awww, thanks guys. so these vision camber kits will probably have the same problems...right?
