Front Camber System help

I have to replace the ball joints on my front camber system but I have no idea what I have anymore.....its has been years since I even looked at them. Can anyone tell me what these are and if replacement ball joints are even avail.

They look like Ichiba (sp)

I would start there to get the part number to see if they even have a replacement part

If you are talking about the bushing that the arm bolt goes into the Suspension Knuckle Spindle, the little black cone shaped thing, that is an oem piece

That is the exact piece I need, so it is an oem part then......I thought it may have been.

Thanks for the help. One down and one more item to go LOL.

I know that bushing well, its a POS to get off from the OEM arm unless you have a pully puller which I know own because of that exact reason.

My mechanic is doing all the work, he just looked at it and said hey whats this red camber kit, it's not oem and I was like WTF did I purchase all those years ago

Now I need a Tein CS strut re-built but Tein just told me it has to go to Japan as it's the older gold color model and downtime is 8 weeks

The tapered sleeve is the first thing from the top down on the bolt which is OEM, but everything after that is Ichiba, by the looks of it from you first picture there is an issue with the camber arms itself and if there is time for a new set.

Well I did not see anything adversly wrong with the camber arm itself, I mean it drives just fine and alignment is spot on. Is there something I am not seeing?
