Default 1992 Accord Off set ball joint cause of camber

So I went to brakes plus the other day to get an alignment, (previously had replaced my struts and realized I had uneven wear on my tires) so they told me that the uneven wear was caused by camber wear so they told me I needed to replace my ball joints with off set ball joints so I won't have uneven tire wear anymore, and a shaky steering wheel around 60-70mph, and they we're gonna charge me around $680 to replace them and do my alignment. Do any of know wether I can replace them myself or I should suck up and pay the $680.

Default Re: Off set ball joint cause of camber

Hmmm.. So they noticed your uneven tire wear when they replaced your struts? Or you noticed it and replaced the struts yourself?

Offset ball joints.. I assume they mean offset upper control arm for camber adjustment. Sure you can do that too. But I'd check the tire wear first because that description is pretty broad.

I could be wrong but $600 sounds a little high for replacing upper control arms and adjusting front toe.
