Ok, i really do have bad camber, and maybe its my "toe in" thats mainly screwed.

ANyway, i received an Ingalls front kit from a guy on this board. Now, I'm not sure what should be included, but i SWEAR i got TWO kits???
God i hope i'm right... no flamage please!

Also, any links as to how to install these bad boys (fronts)?
Thanks

[edit] i'm a dumb ***..[edit]

THanks

It should include instructions, but there are different type of Camber kits.

Unfortunately, I don't know installation of the Ingalls. What type of front camber kit is it?

 

If they are the upper control arm bolt kits then you will receive 4 pieces. 2 for each control arm (where they bolt into your upper strut tower mount area). Theres different types of camber kits out there.

Also, if your TOE is off, a CAMBER kit will do nothing to alleviate this problem since its a camber kit. To fix your toe is very easy, you *can* do it yourself, but the best thing is to take it to an alignment place and have them adjust your toe and align your car completly (once you have it to your desired ride height).

Basically to adjust yoru toe is easy, you just loosen or tighten your tie rods (WARNING - doing this yourself and being unexperienced could lead to even worse alignment issues, its best to just pay the $50 and have Sears or soemthing align your car)

 

heres a site that will help you (If its Ingalls - you NEED to be more specific!!!!)

Ingalls install for 88 CRX - SHOULD be same for all civic 88-01

**EDIT**- forgot to add web addy

alright, thanks for the help guys...

I do indeed know that the kit wont affect the toe...I'm already getting a time set up for an alignment.

Peace

 

just for the record, 96-00 Civic upper control arms are different, and to my knowledge there are no upper control arm bolt-type camber kits out there. On those cars, there is simply a bolt and bushing on each side of the wishbone, passing through the side of the shock tower, vs. the bolts which come up through the top of the tower on 88-95 Civics and 90-01 Integras. I think the only kits available for 6G Civics are rotating ball joints (which would change both camber and caster at the same time, no thank you) and a whole upper control arm w/ sliding ball joint (better solution, like the Skunk2 arms).

 

my roommate (tecnic1) just installed them on his ITR, it took him no more than 45 minutes to install the front and the back, it's easy as hell......but jesus are they squeaky.........
