Default civic camber kit

I have the adjustable upper control arms on my civic. Im curious if the ball joint used in the sliding plate is the same size as a factory one? Or should I just order a new kit? Thanks!

I'm assuming your ball joint is shot? You should be able to call up the manufacturer of the kit, such as skunk2 and see if they will just sell you the replacement ball joint that is already mounted to the plate.

When you need new tires, do you buy a new car? Call Skunk2 and ask about ball joints.

Front camber kits would be something I would never buy as ebay "brand". Sounds like you should get a good kit, sadly ebay has the best prices, I would recommend blox, same quality as skunk2 and cheaper.

^This.

I have seen ebay kits basically fall apart in less than a couple months. I had a blox camber kit on my civic for over 100k and they held up fine.

If you do buy Skunk2 or Blox they sell the replacement ball joint/slider.
