Skunk2 Front Camber Adjustable A-Arm Ball-Joint Question
I've had several Skunk2 non-pro-series adjustable front control arms on all my Hondas/Acuras for years now. My R has them and I believe this is the longest setup I've owned on a car so heres my question.
I've had this car for about 2 years now and I installed them on the car before i owned it, about a year and a half before that.
The ball-joint is tightened down on both sides but yet there is play in it. Are these a wear item? I know Skunk2 sells replacements. Just thought I'd ask.

(hopefully autocross/roadracing people chime in)
For what it is worth. The car is a strictly street car and I've adjusted them ONLY to keep my tires from having camber wear.

They are most certainly a wear item. They are fairly easy to replace too. I would swap them out when you get a chance. If there is play in the joint its normally time to replace it.
