Default 5 lugs conversion: rear installed! Front bearing and questions!

Hi guys!

The H-T 's search feature is DOWN at the moment.

First question. What BRAND of this camber kit? The rubber cover is TORN. I'd like to buy another boot and replace it.




Secondly, I think the front wheel bearing is messing up. While I hold the Disc Rotor and slightly shake it, I can feel it moving back and forth.
And plus, you can see the inner part of the rotor, there is an uneven worn. Do I need to change the bearing (I know its a pain in the ***, saw a DIY awhile back) ? If you can find the DIY thread, please forward it to me!

Lastly, does the lower balljoint (as shown in the pic) has too much gap?

I think the ball joint is suppose to have a rubber sleeve around it packed with grease.

That ball joint is pooched.. theres supposed to be a rubber boot around it BUT someone probably took it off becuase the ball joint in there coulkd have come off a different model car... It is also supposed to be flush with the spindle not like how it is in that picture. Thea bearing .. How much play are we talking .. like a simple 1mm or more .. if its like alot of play then yes .. get that baby pressed out of there.. If not ... it isnt a big deal!

The ball joint's thread crossed. I took the boot off because the previous owner used a picklefork.

The breaing play is ABOUT 1mm, on the other side, its .5 mm. i think.

Notice how the rotor worn out uneven (big yellow circle)

You guys know how much does it cost to get the pressed out?

shouldnt be too much to get pressed out. I say get the new ball joints and go to the gas station or to a shop with the spindle and as a tech to do it. He should do it for $20...i know i would.
