hey all, do anyone know who make the adjustable upper control arm for 95 honda accord? All i could find is the adjustable ball joint but not the whole arm. Are they work the same? What I have is couple of washer that lower down the control arm and so at the edge of the ball joint, it smashing my frame and ruin the ball joint, therefore i keep replacing them. I want to get the whole adjustable upper control arm not just the adjustable ball joint only but couldnt find who make them. Am I safe with replacing just the adjustable ball joint?

I read this from the Chiltons repair manual:

Only the prelude upper ball joints through 1991 are replaceable. The 1984-85 Accord has no upper control arm and therefor no joint. On the 1986-91 Accords and 1992-95 Preludes, the ball joint is permanently installed to the Upper Arm; it is not removable. If the joint fails or becomes loose, the upper arm assembly must be replaced.

I have a 95 accord as well and am getting the upper arms replaced. The schematic diagram in the book shows the ball joint bearing is fixed to the upper arm!!

Yea, the upper ball joints are not replaceable. You must replace the entire upper control arm to replace them. I knew someone that tried to replace the upper ball joints in his 90 Civic by removing them out of the upper control arm and all he managed to do was destroy the arm.
