Danger of running upper control arms w/o balljoints
What is the worst possible scenario that could happen to me if I run my car w/o the balljoints that are used in the skunk 2 camber kits? Mine have literaly been torn apart and are no longer present in there.
The ball joint is part of your suspension. If this is a daily ride, and you can afford a valve cover, but not two new ball joints ? How much could OE ball joints cost ?
It's your car and you have to drive it so do what you feel, but I think that you will regret the decision not to ride with ball joints. I can't even really see that working, and that's not something that I would do personally, and definitly not on a customers car!!
Just go buy two new ball joints, and forget about all them little problems that you are worried about.

you can use oem ball joints in the camber kit. Ingalls kits make you re-use your stock ball joints.
Just a quick question, if you have skunk2 control arms, don't you have your original control arms with the ball joints still in them?????
You can rent a ball joint puller from autozone and pull the old ball joints and use them.
Just another fyi, integra ball joints would work too. Probably prelude too.
If you just took off the ball joints and left them off, you would not be able to drive your car, they are part of the suspension/steering!!!!!

ok, thanks, so then why are all these people asking for skunk 2 ball joints when they can go out and get OEM upper control arm ball joints?
