I did a search on the upper ball joint and I really didn't find what I am looking for. Apparently where I get my oil changed the dudes were like you need to replace the right front ball joint bla bla bla. So I am trying to find out if I should get it replaced or can I do a camber kit instead of replacing stock set up? Also can I do it myself with the ball joint puller rented from autozone?? I am going to drop about 1.5" in the spring but would hate to do something twice.. Ne thoughts or suggestions please
Thanks

If you switch to an adjustable one, which is recommended, you will have to have it aligned after installation. I'm going to be doing mine in a couple weeks so if you haven't done it by then, I'll let you know. But it shouldn't be too hard. Also if you replace it with and adjustable one you definatly should do both sides. And remember get it aligned. Any questions pm me.

So your saying I can totally replace the bad upper ball joint and put in the adjustable camber kit on both sides/4 corners. Or do I need to get upper ball joint fixed before getting camber kit???
Thanks for the info

I'm sorry I read your post wrong. They make sliding ball joints for you adjustments. But as far as I know they only make them for the LOWER ball joints. and yes you would want to put them on all four corners. I would call a local chassis shop and ask them for sure. But I know they only make the lower one's adjustable.

no prob. If you need a good price when it comes to the adjustable ball joints, hit me up I'm a distributer for Specialty Products, and they retail for 80-100 a piece. Let me know and I'll get you a good price.

I don't have ingalls. But SPC or Specialty Products are one of the best if not the best.

So then those actually replace the ball joint and will give me a camber adjustment when I get lowered. How much did you say for all four corners?

eu4ik

my ingalls kits were 260 for all four corners off of groupebuycenter. just dont let anyone tell you that the accord kits will fit your car. we have a-arms in the front and rear, they dont.

Just give me an email

and I accept paypal or check, money order, etc.

Let me know a few days before you want them shipped, cuz it will probably take me 1-2 days to get them and ship them out.

Thanks,
