I installed the camber kit like in december... got alignment...
now im feeling the carr like moving from side to side (just a little bit and rarely)

when i decide to review whats it could be.. i found that the front tire (passenger side) moves a bit horizontal (front to back, NOT up and down)
i got told that it was the "terminales" (in spanish) but in english i dont know what they are, also i dont know where they are

then yesterday i looked in the back tires... and found that... in the passenger side

i know i need to replace them but
-it will remain "safe" for about a month?
(i dont know how much time they were like that before i looked them)
-should i go with oem?

i will need to get a new alignment, want to put new shocks and the rear toe
thats why i will need more time

it sounds like tie rods.. could be an inner or and out or both.. when you shake the wheel it will move left n right depending which hand is pushing.. in the back the real thing i can think of is your control arm maybe or your upper knuckle... i havent been under the lude in a while so i cant really say without looking etc

i dont mention problem of the camberkit in words... but it is clearly in the pics...

the right one is broken.. you can see the difference with the other one in the left

as it is tight i assume it should not be a big problem for a while
but it also could broke what left of it

That has nothing to do with the camber kit right? That's just the upper arm thingys

Those are the camber kits. The one on the right is broken, a whole piece has come off from it.

I wouldn't drive on that. It's already moving in and out and the extra force is being placed on the other side and that's probably going to break as well. If that happens the entire upper arm can come loose. The knuckle and wheel will tilt out and the cv joint on the axle can pop out. I would go with OEM but if you do that then you'll have camber problems again. Either live with the camber or go buy a good set like ingalls.

thanks...

the broken camber is in the rear tires, so i wouldnt have the cv joint problem?
but it still can broke the other one?

about ingals, its a brand right?
wich makes ball joint types or both? (which will be better, ball joint type or that type i have?)

How come they are braking? That's such a weird occurance. I so didn't know that's where the camber adjustment is made. Any one want to let me in on how it works? lol

el_baby

not braking... its broken... in pieces

Today i lift the car in that side and it was totally broken, just one was working... TG nothing bad happened

going back with old oem's

If one is broken the other one is going to break you didn't even answer my question. What do you mean one was working it doesn't work it was just in piece. So weird how this happens to a camber kit.

el_baby

with one was working, i mean just one was doing the job... and i think that for a month more or less idk

i heard a knock when i got a hole, but never think of that
the steering wheel was shaking on high speeds and when braking, so i thought it was a bad alignment


About your question,

the OEM alignment is made in the cross member, but it only adjust the wheel inside/outside the car (in a top view of the car)
with the camber kit, which could be those or in the ball joint, you can adjust the wheel inside/outside the car (in a side/front/back view of the car)

Cheers man thank you for that! I don't know how to rep but hopefully it worked! I want to get the ingals camber kit but seeing what has hapend to you im afraid of it. Thank you!

i think that the ball joint type is more secure (about what happened to me)
its like solid steel all of it or seems to be

the other type or just the one i have.. have steel bolts and like an aluminum alloy, dont know, strong but is very brittle


also i read somewhere, the ball joint type hold the alingment better (for more time) than the other type (mine's)
