Skunk2 camber kit
So my camber kits by Skunk2 are about 1.5 years old. The ball joint rubber piece of all torn and its not stiff. I thought these damn camber kits were of quality? 1.5 years old and already need joint replacements god damn
I still have my factory ball joints from the upper arm. Can I somehow take those off and put them on the Skunk2's?

you can get replacement balljoints for you skunk2 kit you oem ones will not work. Skunk2 redesigned there kit about a year ago so if you got the newer one it should be under some type of warranty. heres a link for replacement balljoints : http://www.inlinefour.com/skuncamkitre.html

Right now when i tighten the crown bolt on there it is still very tight with no play. I know that on new ball joints the screw is very stiff and new joints have new bags with greese. On mine you can move the screw no problem and the bag is torn but, like I said above, when I tighten the bolt and have the Hub arm thingy connected to it.. it just has no play at all.
Do i still need to replace the joint?

they fu*cking suck. I know because I had them. Ball joint died and the arm itself bent.
Here's what you do:
1-Get the phone number to Junk2
2-Pull down your pants
3-Call them and ask how much they want for new ball joints
4-Take the price up the ass
I threw mine out, sent them a nasty letter, and bought the then new SPC arms instead, which have joints that are easy to replace...and theyre MUCH better design

Well im not about to take a price cut by selling it to whoever and paying the diffrence for a newer camber kit. Is there anything else that will fit this kit instead of buying Skunk2's official brand joint setup 35$'s worth?
Its not hard to replace the joint since its already attached to the metal thing that all you do is unscrew the 4 screws and replace. That's about as easy as your gonna get.
What makes the SPC that much better of a design? Im riding with no coushing on the joint of this camber kit and it bottoms out rarly although it hasnt bent yet. I've been ridding with these kits for 1.5 years and they do seem great and all except the joints.
