Should I get adjustable upper control arms?
Should I get adjustable upper control arms?
I was in a wreck and my camber seems off now. I am going to replace the upper control arms, but should I get stock ones or get adjustable ones, so I can make sure the camber is fixed? It looks like the adjustable ones hold the ball joint in place with two small bolts, but I've heard of it coming loose and sliding. Anyone have experience with these?

Re: Should I get adjustable upper control arms?
That's kinda what I did on my 2002. Had a camber kit (adjustable upper arms) anyways because I was lowered and adjusted it to correct the camber issue that was caused by subframe damage.
Will it work? yeah. Advisable for a permanent fix? Probably not. Will it last a while? I had no issues running with that subframe damage and corrected camber for 3+ years, so

My subframe bent enough to do this to the left motor mount. Do you think I would be okay just correcting the camber, or should I just get a new subframe (not really in budget)?
