Maybe I am a fool for asking this but I couldn't find it with a search. Anyone have a step by step for replacing the ball joint with a ball joint camber kit? pics would be great also....I have the kit but am struggling with the installation. I have never removed ball joints before even. Your help would be MUCH appreciated asap
I bought the kit used and there were no instructions with it btw
- I'm not a COMPLETE fool ha
won't make a ton of difference but 91 crx SI

1 First you need to take the wheel off! 2 Then remove whole brake assembly. 3 Then you need to take out the cotter pin from the ball joint and the tie rod on each side. 4 Next Take the nuts off. Once the nuts are off you will need to use a pickle fork to split the strut fork away from the lower control arm. 5 You really have to pound that **** in until it pops,,, a hammer does just fine --sometimes they pop open easier if you pet the pickle fork in the side, and then pound it . 6 Once the Strut fork pops away , you then have to loosen 2 bolts on the camber, disconnect the top joint near the camber, switch it up, the put **** back together. THIS IS ALSO HOW YOU REMOVE AXLES FOR A B16a SWAP OR ANY SWAP. BUT ONLY STEPS 1-5! ANY more questions ask <<< you may have to adjust the camber if you haver one of those adjustable kits..... I hope this helped

 

it isnt the whole upper a arm (*you know what part i mean haha??)replacement...just a sliding ball joint...I have changed axles but thanks for detailed info though
