    Ball Joint Question

    ok the car is a 93 honda civic. I need to replace the CV shaft and I figured I might as well replace the ball joints. Can I remove the entire upper control arm without loosing the camber kits?

    What do you mean loosing the camber kits? You change the ball joint on the camber kit and that's it .

    My mistake. The question I really want to ask is upper control arm holding the upper ball joint is worn out as well. Can I just loosen the three bolts on/near the strut tower to remove it and thats it? Sorry if its a dumb question, its the first time doing this on a foreign vehicle

    Yes, just undo the castle nut on the ball joint, pop the ball joint out of the knuckle, and remove the 2 14mm bolts under the hood in front of and behind the shock towers.
