Well i just purcahsed a pair of ingalls upper a-arms but they are missing the ball joint. Do i just put my original ball joints into these? If so how do i do it? Here's what it looks like:


This is for a 2000 Civic.

i think you take your original balljoints, press them into the silver plates and then bolt the plate to the a-arm.

 

I agree with him, but it may be more worth it to just go ahead and get new ones for these.

 

I always thought that the original upper balljoints could not be removed from the UCA. I could be wrong though. You may want to give Ingalls a call & find out if those are supposed to come with new balljoints...

Camber kits suck anyways since they cause interference problems with your shock tower when your lowered. I would just sell them & run stock upper control arms. I do, and I have no tire wear issues (lowered 2.75" for 5 years). A good alignment goes a long way (zero toe baby)...

You can. Its not hard. I've had to do it a couple times.

 

my last civic i ran a skunk2 camber kit for 3 years and it tore the ******* **** out of my shock towers , made noise and blew balljoints all the time , i then switched to an SPC camber kit which was ok . on my new hatch theres no camber kit and no wear on the tires , i wont run another camber kit.

man i was blowing balljoints on my stock a-arms too. the ball joint would come out of the a-arm, what i did was take a BFH, put it back in place and welded that bitch.
and btw you dont need aftermarket camber kits, i think its better to find a shop that can fix camber by bending your steering kunckles.

 

i can get you some new replacment ball joints if you need. pm me and ill link you to that item on our site.
