I just installed spc adjustable ball joints(67145) on my 95 accord ex oem ones were shot and the spc adjustable ones were less expensive than new oem. The car is lowered with ground control coilovers and tokico 5 adjustable shocks and already had an ingalls camber kit in the upper control arm. The spc adjustable ball joints are now hitting the underside of the fender well when I go over bumps its seems to be taller at the top than the oem ball joint. Is the combination too much?
The ball joint was installed following the manufacturers direction to the T. Sorry about the long post need help from this big CLUNKING sound every time I hit a bump.

Thats typical with adjustable balljoints. They're taller than stock.

Same thing happens with UCAs with sliding balljoints. My SPC UCA has left nice dents in my shock towers.

 

Is there any fix for this problem???
Or do I need to go back to the stock
lower profile oem ball joints????

You're too low, or too softly sprung (Depending on how you look at it). You really don't need the camber kit, remove it.

I added mine, to add more camber for autocross use. I also had to raise the car a little, to gain back some suspension travel.
