Can anyone tell me who makes these, I need to replace the ball joints. I bought the car with aftermarket coilovers, and upper control arms already installed. Where can I find the tool to adjust the springs on the coilovers?

Regular or OEM upper control arms wouldn't work because of the adjustment needed due to the coilovers, correct?

Thanks!

 

No, OEM works fine and I'd suggest that for longevity. The tool for the coilovers is called a spanner wrench and you can buy them anywhere online.

 

Spanner is just another word for wrench, but I guess you mean coilover spanner.

The only problem I see with using regular upper control arms is the ball joints are at the ends of the arms, while the ones I have now the ball joint is in a slotted track and can be loosened and moved to adjust camber.

I think maybe my camber will be off if I use normal upper control arms.

 

Well from what I know it's called a spanner.


Nothing a alignment can't fix

 

I guess that makes sense, the tie rod ends should have enough adjustment left. I guess I will find out.

 

Skunk2 sells replacement upper balljoints for their adjustable upper arms. I'm not sure if that's what you have, but from what I can see they look like Skunk2 upper control arms.

 

Thanks. They might be a knock-off, but the Skunk2 ball joints might fit anyway.

 

Doesn't matter if knock off or not, Junk2 is made in the same place as the knock offs, so the likelihood of them fitting is pretty high.
