Ive replaced my upper control arms on my 91 crx with ones from any 88-91civic in the junkyard that still has a good ball joint on it. And ---- $60 for two that arnt even for a civic, I think the junkyard gave me one for like 10 bux. This is hmt not buy overpriced ---- off ebay when you could just go to the junk and get it for less with no shipping sucka!

Ahh camber problems. Ive used some cheap ebay adjustable camber kit and I broke it within a year. All the sliding ball joint aftermarket arms Ive heard of slipping so Im just going to weld up my own tailored to my own camber situation.

As for other models arms, your going to have to compare the two side by side. As long as the ball joint is only moved outward(effecting camber) and not forward or rearward(effecting caster) you should be good. Although I know on ef's there is little room for having a longer upper control arm untill it hits some of the body. Good luck.
