ingalls camber kit rust problem? anyone here have the ingalls camber kit on an '01-'03 civic and run it through at least one winter?
the rear control arms on mine have a light coating of surface rust on them and i've only had them on for a year(1 winter). when i compare them to my oem control arms(which went through 2 winters) there is significantly more rust on the ingalls arm. is this supposed to be normal? i spray my car weekly in the winter and i usually wash my car at least once every two weeks in the summer. any feedback will be much appreciated. thanks.

Rep Power: 0 give the camber arms a brush of soft wire brush and see how bad it is...then spray with a ligth WD40....
I have the SPC carmbers and had a light coat of rust...then i steel wool sanded it and a light spray of WD40 once and a while and its fine

ya the Ingalls are known to rust so you're not experiencing something new.
You can clean them up the way vicLX just mentioned and once you do that, cake that **** with some grease to prevent it from rusting again.

Rep Power: 0 I can get you rear SPC camber ... but i suggest you try to clean them the way I stated above before you spend money on something else you might enjoy... Like a lap dance and beer... or some new blank CD's fo you can burn some new tunes for your car...
Hey VicLX can you tell us how much you can get us camber kits for?
I have someone who can supply us for a GB, hes close to Toronto so getting them here quickly wont be a problem, but he doesnt have the greatest prices. If it comes down to it though, I'll see what he can do as far as pricing goes with him.

I have the ingalls camber kit but have not encountered rust build up. I drove through last winter and the control arms look the same as when they were put on. What did you spray your car with? Do not use WD40 use grease. WD40 is a detergent that will break down grease and ruin the lubrication.
