Installing camber kit

[Chen]

Hey I got an Arospeed camber kit for my 89 crx and was wondering if anyone knows where I can find instructions for installing it. I know that I will need to take it to a shop for an alignment and stuff, but I still want to install the kit myself and then let them adjust it. I have all the suspension out to put in new stuff and I'd like to get the kit in before I put all the suspension back together.

Man just take it 2 the shop.
if u dont know how to do something right dont do it at all, i learned the hard way.

when i was 15 i replaced my winter tires and a few hours later my tire flew out ..lol

yes i was driving at a early age.lol

Just because I don't know how to do something doesn't mean that I should never try to do it. If you can't install tires then maybe you should take your car to the shop for most things, but I can pretty much take care of a lot of things on my car. The kit just bolts on and I just need to know exactly where and how to position it. I will have the shop set the camber and alignment though.

I didn't know how to do my brakes the first time I tried, but once someone showed me how to do it, it was a piece of cake.

well i dont know how the 89 CRX suspension is set up, but if it's anything like the 94-01 integras setup, then the camber kit should be a quick an easy install. i did the install on my integra in about 1 hour.

im not sure what type of camber kit this is. is it the one that replaces the whole upper control arm or the kit that comes with four pieces that attaches to the upper control arm. the one that i put in the car came with the four peices that attches to the Upper control arm. if yours is the one that the four pieces attaches to the upper control arm then this is how i did my install:

-ofcourse jack the car up and support it w/ kack stands and remove the front wheels.

-look by the wheel well by the front tires and locate where the stock camber is connected to the upper control arm. You will see a 14mm bolt and nut that is on the side of the stock camber. remove the nut. Do this for both stock camber peices.

-Now open up your hood and remove the 2 17mm nuts that attaches to the camber peices. do this for both sides of the car.

-after u remove the nuts, use a rubber mallet or a hammer and tap the bolts that these nuts were just attached to, down and out of the hole.

-now get back under the car by the front wheel well and try to pull the whole upper control arm down a bit. once there is enough room, remove the 14 mm bolt that goes through the stock camber(both sides). once this is done, u can take out the stock camber peices from the upper control arm. with the camber pieces removed, your gonna have to rotate the whole upper control arm a total of 180 degress. (your gonna have to wiggle the control arm a bit to do this). this will give u some room to work with installing the aftermarket adjustable camber pieces.
install the new aftermarket camber kit onto the upper control arm.

-now the install is the above steps in reverse.

(NOTE: you wont be able to use the metal bar that connects the two stock camber pieces)

i know it's kinda confusing, but this is what worked for me. let me see if i can get u some pictures....



i have no expierence with the other type of camber kit- the one that replaces the whole upper control arm. its the skunk 2 camber kit. but that one looks fairly easy to install as well.

Hey thanks for the info man. Since no one had replied to the post except for Baby CRuizer (who can't even put his tires on right) I just decided to figure it out myself. I figured it out and got it in. Thanks for the info though.
