got a big ?....i just ordered a front ingalls style camber kit...and i was wondering is it manditory to take out the spring strut assembly to put this in, or no....i just want to be aware with what ihave to do to put this in. thanks oh yeah i plan on getting it aligned as soon as installed!

 

you can just take out the control arm and do it on the shop table. you can also grind the control arm if you need to. it's pretty easy. just make sure you have a pitman arm puller to separate it it from the knuckle.

 

Did you get the Anchor style camber it? If so then all you need to do is take the bolts off studs that are in the engine bay push them out with a rubber mallet spend the upper control arm around insert the new anchor bolts and but the bolts back back on.

I just replaced my upper arms right, then went to get an alignment. Well they wouldnt do it unless I purchased some adjustable upper arms that they sell for $229 a pair. Plus they had a control arm for the rear that according to the mech, would bring my 18's straight no matter at what drop I kept it.

 

you can do it that way too, but i find it easier to take out the whole control arm.

 

you think its easier to take the whole arm out instead of just take the anchor bolt nuts off and then spinning the upper control arm around rest it on your tire and with the help of a friend put it all back together. Man you must like to work extra hard it took me all of 15-20 mins to do both sides with the tires left on

WOW!!!! don't grind down ur UCA man.... trust me i had to do it and it almost ****ed up my car. Take it from me, get a Full UCA/Camber kit!!!!! it's alot better and safer than that other shit!!!!

 

i had to grind it down, so it had to come out no matter what. hehe. the extra work is just one more castle nut. it'snot like i wanted to grind it, but banging the inner fender can only do so much for me. i don't want my ball joint to pop out of the control arm again.

 

I don't think he is talking about the ball joint camber kit

no i am not...i got the ingalls...i looked up in my car and it looks just like whats is up in my control arm but the ingalls is silver and adjustible. i have a 97 accord to. i think only on the 98's plus do you need the ball joint adjuster. i also heard bad things about the skunk2 WHOLE camber kit thing that is like 200$. some poeple told me that it starts slipping ify ou make to many adjustments on it. but i will try and take what you guys said and put it inot action. i also did the right thing and searched and found a how to on an accord and civic and was like sweet. so i should have just did that in the first place. just wanted to see what people said about it now.
