Skunk 2 bushing worn on front camber, need replace bushings?
The bushings on my Skunk 2 front camber kit are worn to the metal. I need to replace them. Anyone know of good bushings to use?

So its the older gen camber kit?
Buy the new ones?
Could probably get bushing OE from skunk 2 themselves. Call them up n see.

Do they not sell "just the bushing" or do they not sell "the newer kits?"

It's been a pain in the *** for me to answer this question too. I'm subscribed for the answer though.

Measure the bushings and post it, maybe someone can measure their stock UCA bushings. If they're the same size, you may be able to install Energy Suspension bushings. I've found that's the cheapest solution sometimes.
I already put new bushings in my upper control arms, so unfortunately I can't be of much help.

Re: Skunk 2 bushing worn on front camber, need replace bushings?
Ok i spoke too soon. I did give them a call and they do sell the individual bushings and ball joint as well.
Bushing replacements are $15 for 2 for 1 arm
Ball joint for 1 arm is $30
Is there a tutorial on how to take out the excess bushing piece and press in the new ones?
Also the Ball joint on my front camber is completly gone, Ive been riding around with it like that for many years. I see no excess wear that happens while doing this. Do i really need to replace this since its been in this state for manyyy years?

Re: Skunk 2 bushing worn on front camber, need replace bushings?
Salesman was willing to sell me the upgraded version with the polyurethane ball joints for $199.
So if i do the work myself.. I can save $100 in total considering I would have to replace both bushings and ball joints for each arm as well as invest extra time just to do this.
So do you all think the $199 is a good deal considering the condition Im in or should i just get the individual parts and do it all myself?
