i broke the bolt that extends outta the front upper ball joint on the right side, is there anythint i can do to fix it without buying the whole upper arm? i dont wanna buy a camber kit bc i dont have the time to wait on shipping. is there anywhere that would sell me just the balljoint?

Any honda dealer should have it.

The ball joint is part of the upper control arm, you can't separate them (I don't believe).. you gotta replace the whole arm.

the dealer wants like 200 bucks for the whole upper arm with the balljoint, that is outta the question, are there and other solutions? i am on a tight budget right now so i dont wanna spend more than 100 or so

pmed prelude styl, shipping will be to cincinnati ohio 45231, could i buy a camber kit or any upgraded part to eliminate this problem?

no because camber kits for our cars are the upper control arm joints, which get replaced, so it doesn't change your balljoint or arm. I've never heard of a control arm replacement for our car, adjustable or not.
