Ok fellers here is the fix for Skunk2 shitty camber kit,
Buy a Tripple 5 ball joint
Remove the waste of time and money
ball joint that came with the kit
have a machine shop machine the plate of the old ball joint to recieve the new ball joint
The plate is about 1.5mm too thick, this must be skimmed
so you can fit the C-clip
Press the new one into the plate
The back of the new ball joint is about 1mm too wide
so have the machinest skim it to fit the craddle
fit the C-clip
and you good to go.
Now you can change your ball joint
and don't even have to remove the craddle.
Some pic's of the completed one.
Hope this is of some to you fellers
who seeing trouble with Skunk2 rubbish.

you don't need to do all that hard work. You can get the adjustable ball joint and you good to go on the same upper control arm from factory and have perfect alignment/camber etc in front.

MadCrix,Pinky,I bought the adjustable ball-joint and it didn't last under my driving conditions (bumpy roads) What i did however was get the skunk 2 camber kit and drill the ball-joints and put pollysteel in them (got it dont by a guy in five-rivers)to make them stiffer so now its like brand new. Its been on my car fro about 1 year with no problems.
