I'm chaning out the OEM camber kit to the DME Camber Kit for 1g's. The ball joints at the wheel hub are busted and I'd like to replace them. My local parts pusher doens't know if he can order it. Does anyone know where to get this from and how it needs to be removed/reinstalled??

Thanks


Edit


For anyone who is familiar with what I'm talking about... the OEM eccentric for the stock camber adjustment is stuck to the OEM through bolt. I have the nut on the end off as well as the eccentric washer but I can't get the bolt to actually push out of the mount because the OEM eccentric sleeve is rusted to the through bolt. To make it worse, the rubber bushing around the eccentric sleeve is ripped from the rubber on the camber arm. I can't figure out how to get the damn bolt loose so it will back out of the mount.

I just did my bushings a few weeks ago and ran into the same problems. The thread I started has the factory Mitsu part numbers for the eccentrics and hardware. I had to cut mine out with a sawzall and an oxyacetylene torch because of how seized they were. No parts distributer I've called had any listing for the rear BJ's. However, the rear balls joints are the same as the front from what I've read. I used an Ingalls kit which had a new BJ in it, and my lower one was still in good shape so I reused it. Maybe someone who has actually used the front BJ's in the rear can chime in if I'm wrong.
 
the rear BJ's are the same as the fronts. i bought and installed them a while back. If you are still unsure though press out your rear BJ and take it to the parts store along with a set of calipers or a micrometer and compare the measurements.

Yeaup. My driver side arm came out super easy. However, the passenger size was seized. I had to do the same thing. Sawzall and torch. Took forever but it's all good now. Thanks for the advice guys! I just went ahead and ordered all new through bolts and washers from Chrysler.
