Default Where to buy and adjustable upper ball joint?

I need em cause I dont want to get a camber kit and the guy at Les Schwab said that this would be the way to go since I wasnt going to lower the car. If you know where you can get one for cheaper then 100 bucks a pop lemme know...

just curious, but if you aren't lowering the car, and you don't want a camber kit, why would you want adjustable upper ball joints?

most camber kits for civics are adjustable ball joints.

to me. I've never seen a camber kit myself in person..... My B20 weighs so much that its throwing the camber off like 1 deg. in my rex.

You need a camber kit. It is just that you lowered your car not by putting in lowering springs, but by adding weight to the nose.

that makes a lot more sense, now. you may also want to consider putting in new springs...maybe not necessarily lowering springs, but at least ones with higher spring rates, since your front end is so much heavier. and one degree of camber is not bad, it is still within factory specs of most hondas. i've got 2 degrees negative camber in my civic, and it doesn't bother me. i've considered fixing it, but it holds better in the corners. you should be okay with one degree...

Yeah, maybe you can help me with my other problem. I broke my sisters IM. I broke a chunk off right by the coolant passage by the #4 runner.... Can I just JB weld it? Will that hold?
