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.

Right. It's no biggie on replacing them or the price. Just thought Id ask.

yep. Dont forget to recheck your alignment when your done as well.
