I've been researching lowering my car for a while now and I've pretty much got my set-up planned out (KYB AGX's with a 2.0 to 2.25 drop on ST springs). Last thing is the camber kit. So I've seen a couple of kits that mentioned sliding ball joints or something to that effect. Now the ball joints on my car are looking pretty sad (barely passed inspection last year). If I bought one of these camber kits, would that fix the whole ball joint thing or would I need a whole new control arm?

 

you should be good to go

 

what he said

 

YAY! This is the project for summer along with MAYBE rims......that's a big maybe though as I've still got some bills to pay (stupid college shit is EXPENSIVE!).

When I'm doing all of this, how should I go about it? One wheel at a time or put one end on jack stands, switch it out, and then rinse/repeat for the other ed?

 

when you take the ball joint loose just be careful no to let it swing too far out because it will seperate your CV joint and you'll have to pull the axle and repack the bearings in the joint.

 

you'll probably want to bring it somewhere for the rears, as the lower bushings are a total pain in the ass to get out. The bolts have to be cut, bushings melted out and the metal casing has to be torched out. They rust right in there, and its almost impossible to save them.

 

not necessarily.. mine came off with no problems.. just depends on if there's a lot of salt in the winter where you live

 

Yeah...Missouri winters = lots of salt on the roads....looks like I'll tag a little extra on for labor. :down::sqfawk:

 

Mine where not that hard and I am in Alaska. Where just about everything gets put on our roads.

 

Try doing it yourself first and see if u can get it off. I did my suspension one wheel at a time. THere is no need to jack up the entire car.
