front camber kit or front upper control arms???
ok i just tore up the upper ball joints, my friend and that damn haynes book told me that i cant just buy upper ball joints that i need to buy new upper control arms is this true? also... napa tells me they will sell me the upper control arms for 104.99 a peice, total of 209. and some change, you think that i can buy a front camber kit for close to that price? because if i can buy one for a few bucks more i rather buy that then the stock control arms... but if its like 100.00 to 200.00 more dollars i rather not buy that... well not really rather but i dont got the cash anyways help please thanks

i have the same problem with the left side. you can buy a cheap camber kit for about the same price but i don't see how that fixes your problem with your upper ball joints. please explain. also you might find a junk yard and see if there are and crx's there that have good control arms.

well for the crx i have seen one style of camber kit that is a whole UCA replacement with bushing and everything... then ofcourse there is also the ball joint style that replaces only the ball joint so i was actually thinking of buying one of the two.... instead i decided to just get some new full control arms... i could care less for camber...

i am considering a camber kit simply because i am lowered so i need to camber mine back out to decrease tire wear. however it needs to be adjustable so when i take it to the track i can set it to what i need. any recomendations on what brand? and where i can find it?

toe wears out your tires... camber really doesnt... - camber just doesnt let you put all your power to the ground... when doing a straigt line race... but if you autoX its better to have - camber so when you turn you get full grip of the ground on the outside tires... but anyways i think vision makes a full upper control arm and its adjustable...
