i was wondering what's the difference between front camber arm and ball joint...are they same? do i need them both? what's better? any help is appreciated, thanks!

 

What do you mean by camber arm and what ball-joint are you referring to???

 

i think he meant by the front A arm or the front ball joints

 

Most likely

 

yea, so what's the difference?

it's two different part, but in tipical honda fashion, they are welded together.

your UPPER control arm is one piece with your upper ball joint.


so what's the difference? it's like asking what's the difference between an orange and apple.

 

so...if i dropped my car, do i need a ball joint or the arm?

without a picture of the items said here is the best i can do.


the upper ball joint is pressed into the arm, so camber kit only comes with a ball joint which you need to press it out and press in the new unit.

the other/more expensive set up is a complete replacement of arm and ball joint, the pro about this is that you can just bolt on this piece and not having to wait for it to pressed out. after adding the shop fee, it might comes out to be the same amount of money

 

If you plan on lowering the car it's advised to get a front and rear camber kit. Your ball joints are already on the car so is the upper control arm, however if they are in need of replacing then I would get them replaced
