I recently lowered my car and was noticing significant pull to one side which I had expected. So I went to get an alignment done (as anyone should do when lowering the car) and they gave me the car back in about an hour. I took it out but the car was still pulling so I brought it back. The tech looked confused and then took the car out himself and sure enough, it pulled. Anyway, he tried doing the alignment a few times just to make sure the machine was working correctly. It was. So, he suggested a camber kit. I purchased the Ingalls camber kit from TTR and I received the 14mm kit (part #81260) and went to install it. After getting out the top bolt that goes through the strut, I went to put the Ingalls bolt in...except it didn't fit. Curious, I called Ingalls to make sure I had the correct part and they told me I need the 12mm bolt for the cobalt and that TTR had sent me the wrong one.(part #81250). I checked TTR's site to see if I had ordered a 14mm instead of a 12mm by mistake but only the 14mm is listed. Aaron says that he has sold 12 sets before and has never heard of this problem and even goes further to point out that other vendors also sell the 14mm bolt. I called Ingalls back and spoke to a new rep just to make sure the first guy wasn't mistaken. He agreed that I need a 12mm. Does anyone here have this kit? If so, what size bolt did you use?

tl;dr....what size ingalls camber bolt have you guys used? ingalls tells me i need 12mm and ttr (and other vendors) say 14mm....but 14mm doesnt seem to fit when i tried

 

Thanks for posting this. As we stated, we have sold many sets to others which is the 14MM. Ingalls has also always stated it is the 14MM. That is why TTR, granava and Dezod all list 14MM

We have no problem getting the 12MM bolts to you, but need to make sure why others have had no issues with the 14MM and after many years, now an issue comes up... If we get you 12 MM bolts and they dont fit, then we are back to the start again

We asked the OP to post this in the forums, as we would like to know what you have?

 

Absolutely. I forgot to mention that Aaron has been very helpful in determining the issue and has offered to get the 12mm for me if I need them. We're just hoping for any input as to what you guys have used...especially since Ingalls says 12mm and has their site listed at 12mm but tells vendors the proper size is 14mm (which they list for the Cavi, not Cobalt).

 

Bump. Anyone? I would like to get my **** realigned asap

 

Can't help with the bolt size, but if it's pulling like that, you probably have something turned a bit. Either the spring's not sitting right at the bottom, or the top mount is turned. You probably should do a quick visual on this, because you might not even need the bolts... I speak from experience on this one.

 

I cannot speak for others but I know a lot of people do not end up using the bolts. In most cases (I'd say 99%) they are not needed to get proper camber after lowering the Cobalts. Most people using them want them to actually get negative camber! (So maybe those who bought them never installed them???).

I've installed the Eibach version, literally the identical bolt, and it's a 12 mm kit.

This is their part number, I'm pretty sure it's almost identical to Ingalls as well: 81250K

81250 (12mm)
81260 (14mm)
