Is it possible to rebuild my front camber adjustable kit?....well i put them on and i notice my steering is really loose (it pulls the steering wheel to the right and left quick/hard depending on which way i turn)and so i took them off.and i know the ball joint is suppose to be stiff and move in circular rotations, so i put them back on and tightend all the bolts and when i got to the 17 mm that suppsoe to tighten the ball joint thingy up the bolt kept turning.maybe this had something to do with the steering problems im having? And does anyone have any suggestions on what i should do beside buying a new one?is there a rebuildable kit and how hard will it be...thanks ia o yeah i notice that the intermediate shaft had two different bolts that wasnt tightend all the way maybe that could solve the steering problem..but right now i have the camber problem:cry:o yeah the camber kit i put on was aligned for my setup already hopes u guys can help

you might need to apply pressure to the top of the ball joint while you tighten the 17mm nut down...

and does it shake real hard when you pick up speed?

ive let the car down and everything my last resort is using plyyers to hold the bottom, dont wanna mess the threads up

its normal that if you dont apple presure that it wheel spin while tightning it up.. if it shakes at take off and then goes away alittle at higher speeds might wanna check the axles.
tie rod ends, wheel bearings

ive checked the tie rods and axles good, but i see the two bolts that hold the intermediate shaft wasnt tight and looks like its the wrong bolt cuz one of the two bolts were half way in,one of them had a spacer on it i dunno probably go to the junk yard to find the right bolts hopefully thats the problem

I doubt that... You can use any 1.5 inch 14mm bolts and it will be fine.. or go to honda they are around 4 bucks each and new and dont have to wait and search for them at a junk yard
