Front Camber Ball Joint
Hey guys am wondering if any of you guys have tryed the front adjustable ball joint for the UA2..? I finaly got my suspention but am wait to put it on untill I have all of my camber links and ball joints lol.. =)
Questions I have
1. Does the 90-97 Honda Accord adjustable ball joints work on the UA2..?
2. Does the UA2 and UA3 use the same upper ball joint..? Am wondering beacuse I found a set and it says 96-98 UA3...??? Here is the link

how much low are you going? im around 3+ inch drop from stock and not on camber kit. get a alignment once ur suspension break in. as long as ur toe is within spec a little camber wont hurt you.. im at least 8k miles on mine tires and little to no camber wear.

Well first of all idk how low am go with it.. am thinking maybe 1 or 2 inch drop lol... Cuz my car still has to be able to drive lol I got Tein SS coilovers so i have options on how low i want my car to sit..
So ur saying as long as i have my toe strightened out i dont have to worry about camber wear..????
Also my upper balljoints front and rear need to get replaced.. so if i have a camber issue then i can replace the rear with a new camber link and the front with a new adjustable ball joint... But if i dont need it then it will save me money cuz then ill just buy the new stock ball joints...

its the toe setting that makes a car have camber wear quickly. you will have camber wear.. but as long as toe and camber is within spec, it wont be as bad as you might think. maybe its just my car..lol.. 1 to 2 inch is nothing worth worrying about..lol

Ok i see yeah dude thanx for the info.. im go with the stock ball joints then to save money but i think if i find a camber kit that same price as stock or cheaper then ill go that route... Know what i mean lol like for example i just go these SPC adjustable ball joints. They were on my friends car and he just made his car all stock and he sold them to me for $60 and there like 2-3 months old...

That was a deal for them joints tho $60 for the pair and ive seen them new for like $150-$160 for a pair... And for a set of stocks ones they were like $40 each for a good pair...

White2.5tl is right, toe is what will wear out your tires drastically if not set properly. My camber was marginally off due to a ~2" drop last time I was at the alignment shop. They will try to tell you all kinds of things, but just tell them to set your toes in spec and don't worry about anything. I've gone ~6k miles since then with pretty normal wear on the tires.

Yeah ive been to the alignment shop before and they say some much crap lol haha.... But yeah am get my toe put back in spec and like i said before all my upper ball joints need to get replaced but if i find a camber kit thats cheaper then the price of the stock ball joints then i go that route....
