Hey..just wondering if anyone knows of any good writeups on installing a camber kit, specifically for 99/00 civic coupe? i haven't really looked through the manual thoroughly, but I prefer write ups =P. I finally got around to getting an Ingalls camber kit for my car

It's not too hard....I'll type up a quick guide for you:
Removal -jack up the car and put it on jack stands -remove the wheels -losen the two 14mm bolts on either side of the upper control arm, but do not remove them -with a pair of needlenose pliers remove the cotter pin that goes through the ball joint of the upper control arm -remove the 17mm nut on the ball joint -depending on your desired method (either a fork style seperator or a puller), seperate the ball joint on the upper control arm from the knuckle.....I highly recommend the fork style...they like to eat up the boots, but I have had much worse experiences with pullers -you can now fully remove the two 14mm bolts on either side of the upper control arm -pull the upper control arm straight out Installation -make sure you follow the instructions included with the kit on properly putting together the control arms -once assembled and set to 0 degrees of correction, slide the ingalls upper control arm into the factory location (be sure to have the metal spacers included with the kit installed also) -install the two 14mm bolts on either side of the upper control arm FINGER TIGHT -slide the ball joint through the knuckle -install the 17mm nuts -install the cotter pins -put the wheels back on -lower the car -now torque down the two 14mm bolts on either side of the upper control arm to the proper specs -take your car for an alignment |
