Default DIY skunk2 pro or blackworks upper ball joint for crx camber kit mod

well everyone knows that the skunk2 ball joints on there camber kits die in a short amount of time and i figured i post a diy for making them work since there little different then what skunk2 provides and this mod works for ither the newer pro series ball joints or the blackworks racing ones.

tool list
10mm wrench and socket
14mm wrench
17mm wrench
a BMF hammer
a cutoff wheel
a jack

ok lets get started here is what the brand new ball joint looks like un touched.

you take your cut off wheel and grind the ends off a little bit so it looks like this

then install so they fit like this


then all finished this is the second set ive done and havent had a problem i may install grese fittings in it so they last forever well in a perfect universe

You'll find that most of the things in life we have are things we don't need.

Thanks, OP for the DIY guide -- hopefully it will be useful to someone.
