    Napa's Camber Kit

    I'm trying to figure out this camber kit that you can get at Napa. This is for the rear.



    Here's what it looks like. I know it replaces the upper control arm. My question is how does this thing attach to the rear knuckle? Do I need to buy a seperate ball joint or what? Also, what is the difference between this one and the one from Ingalls?

    man this is weard looking one. you may have to ask them.
    the when i bought eibach rear kit, it just had bushings and the braket that goes through the arm.
    all you have to do is place two washers behind the arm. the thickness of the washers will depend on how much you will move the tire.

    I just looked at the Ingall's kit. It looks the same. There's no ball joint on the end to attach it to the knuckle. What gives?

    You need a BallJoint

    You need to replace or use a new BallJoint to attach this to the Knuckle. Then the double threaded adjustable bolt and nut set up is in place.
    This replace the upper control arm, makes it an adjustable control arm.
    Hope this helps.

    Which ball joint do I buy? I thought the upper balljoint was part of the upper arm.

    actually that is what rear camber kit does.
    it moves the the hole arm. it is the same as using washers.

    i know, but i wish it was just simple like the civic cause we can do it in our own house with washers. But pushing the control arm out by a lengthening rod of some sort takes time and precise measurements. Washers are add and take off, that easy.
