Default Upper ball joint

I need an upper ball joint to get an inspection sticker. The parts store doesnt list an upper bal joint, but the car obviously has one. Can you buy the upper ball joint seperatly? Or do you have to buy the complete upper arm assembly?

No you cannot buy just the joint, you will have to get the UCA. Sorry

If you have your car lowered, you might as well by a skunk2 camber kit. I'll come with one.

I need one today, to geta sticker..so buying a camber kit is out of my budget and out of the question. So i have to buy the whole upper arm?

But suppose you buy a coilover set, such as Tein, with an upper ball joint, doesn't that eliminate the need of a camber kit?? Since you could adjust the joints? Just a thought.

Is the upper ball joint interchangeable, like for example will a crx/integra ball joint work?

youre thinking of upeer pillowball mounts which are completely different from upper balljoints... the pillowballs replace the shock hats, while an upper balljoint connects the uca to the knuckle.

i dont know if you can get one seperate, if it helps i replaced my lower ball joint only, it was like 20$ from honda... check around at like napa too, try to get the right size then just have it pressed, it might be cheaper to find the whole a-arm at a junkyard today though... good luck
