How to install camber ball joints
Recently started lifting my 98 v. Got a 3 in lift along with a camber kit. Got the back installed, everything went fine. Front is coming along fine but, I have no clue as to how to install the adjustable ball joints I purchased. Didn’t come with instructions and I can’t seem to find anything when I search. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

Have a ‘00 and I am wondering if the stock upper control arm ball joint actually come off and the adjustable ball joint can installed.
Not really.
You could drill out the welds on the old stock ball joint, press in the new one and maybe tac weld it. But that’s useless because it wouldn’t be adjustable.
The adjustment comes from slots in the aftermarket upper control arm that allow the ballpoint to move in towards the vehicle or out away from it - giving positive or negative camber.
Just installing a ballpoint isn’t gonna give you adjustment. You need to do the arm as well.

That is my question. Most of them are listed for accord and other hondas, and say they fit the crv, but don’t know exactly.
