camber kit problem!!!!
i got some camber kits of ebay and they work just fine but the thing i have a problem with is that the camber hit the wheel well. i was thinking about cutting the wheel well or is there like a shorter upper ball and joint assembly that would fit my 91 honda accord???? or does anyone have other idears???

What brand did you get? -
i think everyone that uses the ball-joint style camber kit encounters this problem. im waiting to air hammer that particular area outward as far as i can, but for now i just used a hand held hammer.

How much did these no-name-brand camber ball joints cost you?
If you have an O'Reilly Auto parts store in town they carry a MOOG upper ball joint that is offset for camber. They also have camber kits for our cars that go on the ends of the upper control arm and bolt to the body allowing your upper control arm to slide inwards or outwards.
I've not had one clearance issue and I have no camber problems. Only this is that these parts are GOOD, and quality parts have a price. the camber kit per side is around 90 bucks. They also carry an Eibach Pro-Alignment Camber Kit for a little over 200.
Be safe and try and steer clear of suspension parts that could put in you danger.Been a long time. Still alive...Comment

The best advice anyone could ever give.Originally posted by WilliamW View Post
ALL camber kits will cause the arm to make contact with the wheel well. Either bang out the wheel well, or run a small amount of negative camber to avoid contact. Or just deal with it...

that'll work for the anchor style kits. not the ball joint kits. there is a nut on top of the ball joint that hits.

The thing is, nothing is REALLY going to fix it, other than returning the car to stock height.
But yes, dealing with it is the worst option. Nothing is dumber than letting your upper ball joints get whacked around constantly.

You don't have to shave much. That's a common solution. Just not one I reccommend, because that part of the arm is already pretty thin... I wouldn't weaken that metal any more! It holds the ball joint, afterall...
And shorter knuckles would change the geometry. Someone would have to redesign the whole front suspension.
