Pos Rear Camber Kit.

[j diggi]

after my car was rear ended ihad a rear camber kit installed by the body shop (another story in it self, fools didnt pull the unifram right, insurance case pending) i dont know the brand buy they were the biggest pos in the world, nothing but problems. after about 2 weeks one side started to come loose, a little loctite and i was good again. a week after that it became loose again. I finally got pissed and took the arc welder to it, after whining to the body shop for 2 weeks. about a year after they were installed i stripped the threads off the otherside during some hard corning at about 45mph. needless to say i was pissed. almost lost control, there is a nice wear mark in my tire and itleft me stranded. anyon else have a problem with rear camber kits?

i didnt istall it, if the body shop did the work right there would be no reason for the kits. i still have a complant pending with my insurance company. it didnt help that he striped out the 2 holes and welded tem to the body....never go to hampden auto body in mass.

after my accident, me rear end had the same problem, its not because they cant pull the unibody out, its because they basically took a whole new left side of my car and welded it in. and had to use a camber kit to align the wheels since they body of my car will never have the stock integrity. To make a long story short, they used metal shims with an adjustable bolt, i have done some pretty hard racing and cornering in my car, and no problems....think you just got a shitty body shop to do the work, tell the body shop you want to take the car somewhere and have it professionally done by a suspension specialist and you want them to pay for it, since they f-ed up, go get em hoss

im working on it now, but hes beng a dick, so im going through the insurance company now. i dont know how it will turn out but i know where not to take my car again. the bad thing i knew the guy, he fixed my moms car a few months before and did it flawless (10K in damag to the right front of a mazda 626). and my car was like wtf? he cheaped out on me "to save me money". funny thing i wasnt paying a dime of it, i got hit. so the estimate says $150 for a new honda oem strut, so he buys a $60 monroe and makes me pay $40 for deperication(sp?) the only thing he did was screw me over and make a shit load of money off me. noiw the insurace company is bitching because i took too long to report it. wtf? and this is why im about to get rid of it...if he cheaped out on that, what else did he do half assed?
