Default UCA ES bushing replacement

I'm currently replacing all the old worn bushings and suspension components on my 91 crx dx. Everythings going fine but I ran into a snag with the upper control arms. The energy suspension bushings replace the entire stock metal pivot bushing and the hole in the metal sleeve that it uses is perfectly centered as opposed to the stock one which is off centered. I'm worried that when I replace it with the ES ones it will change the way the control arm pivots. I assume the reason that the stock hole is off centered is for camber ajustment but I'm not sure, and if it is I don't want to loss that adjustability. Anyway let me know what you guys think, thanks. Also I know the whole debate between poly bushings and rubber so no need to bring that up lol.

I dont think the factory upper control arms on a 91 crx dx would be adjustable. Maybe yours are some kind of aftermarket things, and thats why those bushings don't fit...

those are most definitely not OEM upper camber bolts.

the ES bushing is meant to work with OEM of course. up to you what you want to use.

Got ya, thanks guys. Ya the person who had it before me riced the crap out of it so I'm completley restoring it. It is super slammed on tockico blues so that would make sense why those are aftermarket. It rides terrible so I'm installing stock si struts and springs, I think I will use the ES bushings since it will be at stock ride height. Thanks again fellas
