I'm trying to do my front camber kit and its giving me hell. I tried to find how to do's on honda-tech.com but I just cant find one with pic's and enough info. I cant get the bolts off the upper arm control , but then again I dont know how to pop that thing out off it either (circled red) :thinking: to replace it with the camber kit i got.
here r some pic's of where I got 2 and where i stoped lol

those are sliding ball joints, BOOOOOO
Sometime you have to take the whole thing off an use a press to press the old ball joint out.
Should have gotten the SKunk2 Upper A Arms, they come preassembled

it's pressed in, you can go rent a " ball joint tool " from autozone or advanced auto, you will need it to get the new one in as well, i highly recommend taking the control arm completely out of the car and setting on a bench for this

Well, the skunk2 uca just came out for the 88-91 civics this year. So before the skunk2 camber kits came out, what type of camber kits did EF owners use? The ball joint camber kits. So, if they been around this long they must work fine, right? I just dont want you to think I sold you garage because there is a camber kit easier to install now. These ball joints will work fine for you.

I didnt say u sold me crap or anything like that , no misunderstanding... Im just saying that I wanted those skunk2's , but whichever one will work is fine for me.

Those are the 1.5 to 3.0 joints, they were mine before I sold them to dare. Funny how parts get around, EFs are whores. :lmao:
