Wicked Rear Camber Arms

[Tnwagn]

Alright, so i bought these a while ago and installed on my car so I wouldn't have huge camber issues in the rear. The adjustment on these things was great, and it was a one-two punch in that it also replaces the warn out upper balljoint.

HOWEVER, I have found that this arm is HORRIBLE for cars that are lowered any large amount. This is because of the way the arm was designed. The Wicked Camber Arms are completely straight. Because of this, when the car is lowered the arm becomes much closer to the knuckle that it connects to. This turns into a horrible knock that occurs from each and every little bump in the road. At first it isn't noticeable, but it time it eats away at your will to live (or at least drive the car).

Ingall's makes an arm that has a curve to it, which allows the needed space to prevent the horrible knock from occurring on lowered cars.

Example of the difference

So, I just wanted to let people know about the knocking issue with Wicked Rear Camber Arms on cars that are lowered. Hope it helps someone out.

Why waste money on an expensive control arm when you can just space it with washers.

Incredibly lowered cars will not be able to get a satisfactory amount of correction from washers without messing up the suspension geometry (But really, the geometry is pretty messed up anyway). Plus, it takes a long time to figure out if you have enough or not enough to fix your camber. It also replaces the upper ball joint and upper bushings.

But washers are good for lowering to reasonable levels.

That may be due to the difference in design of the knuckle on the civic. I'm not able to say as to the civic design, but it does knock on the accord.

Banging all day lowered fully on the Function & Form Type II's. However, I now have it raised about 1 inch all around. Not sure how low that is from stock, but I have no tire gap with the stock wheels.
