Worn out Skunk2 Front Camber Arms
So after 7 months both ball joints are bad. They are installed on a 1996 Civic. With H&R OE springs. The ball joints have over 1/4" of play in them. To make matters worse Skunk2 doesn't have any replacements in stock. So I am going to re-install the stock ones till they can be fixed.
Has anyone seen these fail so soon?

Re: Worn out Skunk2 Front Camber Arms
you mean the ball moves within the socket with 1/4" play? That sucks.
The only thing with my UCA, which aren't Skunk2, are the bushings moaning. They are over 5 years old though. I think they are Ingalls.

OMG wow, that is beyond horrible. My cheap@$$ eBay OE replacement upper control arms aren't even that bad, but the bushings squeak like a ****.
Just keep stock arms on there. Get it aligned and call it a day. Toe wears tires, not camber. Camber kits just cause more problems than they solve, as you have already experienced.
