Control Arm Hit Body Hard When Car Is Alligned Properly

[craig33321]

:( Does any one know what I can do to prevent the control arm from hitting under the fender of my car. Or does anyone know of any special camber kits I can use to avoid all the trouble. I have ingalls in right now, if anyone know of some different type of camber kit can you please give me some info on how and where to get them, I would really reeally appreciat it.

I think the ball joint style kit wont have that problem.

yo peoplez u can go 2 ways with this knocking thing.. u can leave it and after a while it will break in. or u can take matters in to your own hands... lift the car bout 4-5 inchs above the wheel or enough to see the upper (inner) fender.. there is a crease in the metal. thats where the control arm is hitting... wat u do is take a screwdriver and put the HANDEL on top of the upper controll arm. Begin lowering the car until the screw driver handle is bending the crease out of the way. REpeat as much as possible.. (IF IT SOUNDS PRITTY WIERD READING.. JUST TAKE A LOOK.. IT WILL MAKE SENCE. I know... i have a 3 in. drop with camberkit. ... The reason you DONT want to just wait it out is because you will be wearing down the upper controll arm edge. OBVIOUSLY THATS NOT SAFE! so take care of it asap.! PEACE! :cool:

I installed some eibach sportline springs, Thats all, But since I got the camber kits thats when the arm started to hit the body. Because they were ajusted out to correct the camber, but even though I banged it out the arm still comes up and hit the tower, so the only choice I really have left is to cut a hole in the tower, Like the guys with the air ride kits, so the control arm will stick out when ever I hit a big bump in the road
