camber problem. Need help fast! - Honda Prelude Forum

Ok i use to have intrax springs which were a 2 inch drop but recently i changed to h&r sports. All the shops around here have no idea how to adjust the camber kit i have in the front and said that whoever installed it did it wrong. I need to know what parts i need the order from honda so i can replace the stock pieces were the camber kit is. the mechanic told me its the upper control arm mounts. does this sound correct or is there more to it? i really need to get this fixed so any information would be apreciated.

What kind of camber kit do you have in the front? If you already have one why do you need another?

Basically camber in front of 4th gen prelude is not adjustable and there is no camber for it. You can try to fit one but the upper control arm is too close to the frame, extreme precaution has to be taken to not allow the upper arm to hit the frame. There isn't a lot of room to adjust either. Simply it will be impossible to adjust the camber back to spec if you are lowered 2 inches.

No no no, i dont want another camber kit. i want to remove the one i have because it makes horrible noises and sqeaks and it is not needed now that i have switched to h&r sports. i just need to know what stock parts are needed to replace it. and i think the camber kit is made by intrax too but im not certain. it has like 2 bushings and this arm thing.. i dunno how to explain it.

In that case you need the oem upper control arm mounts. As far as I know I don't think they sell those seperatly.

I had my upper control arms replaced with all new components, so I think I still have those mounts that were removed from my car somewhere. If you are interested I will sell them to you.

Are you sure they dont sell em seperately? i dont need to spend a whole lot of money. How much do you want for yours?

You only need to change the mounting bolts on the upper control arm...

I might have a stock set of these sitting around. How fast do you need them? Just the Upper control arm bolts.. not the entire arm although I might have a set of those as well..

well i dunno if it is just the bolts or not because it looks like the camber kit replaces some part of the upper control arm. but i am not sure.

My camber kit (Progress I think- it was branded Eibach) and the Ingalls kit just replaces the bolts, the Upper A-arm (wishbone with balljoint) stayed stock..
