Default Upper Ball Joint


This seems confusing to me.

You can replace the upper ball joint on the front UCA... if it is an adjustable ball joint for camber adjustment such as Ingalls, SPC, or Eibach.

But you have to buy the whole effin UCA if you want to replace the upper ball joint with a stock non-adjustable ball joint.

Surely if you can press the old ones out to replace with new adjustables, you can press them out to replace with non-adjustables. Or does that make too much sense?

Or is it that noone knows which ball joint to replace it with that would be stock?


My $0.02, but a perfectly logical question.

I'm sure it's been done, but time=money. I replaced the stock upper arm assembly rather than trying to make some ball joint fit. Good question though, so if nothing else...bump for you.

I ran into this problem recently. Last year I burnt through a set of tires. This year i have some advan tc's with tires waiting that i dont want to tear up the tread on. So i'm looking at a camber kit. adjustable ball joint's or adjustable upper control arm mounts? I ended up going with the adjustable UCA mounts. They work great!
