Offset ball joint???

hows it going

my 88 NA needs ball joints. my previous car was a 94 honda prelude and i know that they had a billion offset ball joints so the front had about one degree of negative camber.

i was wondering if anyone had ever purchased an offset ball joint and knows where i can get some.

i'm interested bc my fc is my fun car and i autocross on a regular basis.

any help is greatly appreciated.

I don't see how different ball joints would change the alignment of the wheels at all, and as far as I know there are no aftermarket ball joints available for FCs. If you want a degree of camber you can just get camber plates or camber adjusting kits from a parts store.

Your Honda were some bastard double wishbone suspension design.

The FC uses a MacPherson front strut.
You need camber plates if you want camber up front on an FC, not that getto rig ****...
