Default Camber ball joint

Hi guys,

I recently got an alignment and the guy couldn't get within spec for the right rear camber. He recommended getting a new rear camber ball joint, which I'm guessing got damaged during an accident. Is there any downsides to replacing it with an aftermarket one and keeping the oem one on the other side? Or would you guys recommend a different way to handle this? Thanks guys

Personally, id say just replace both of them with the same, either both OEM or aftermarket. I personally would not mix and match.

I agree, I have spc rear adjustable ball joints and they work great.

Yeah if you plan to lower or have excessive camber go after market (all around). Or if you are like me and keep it fairly unmolested just go OEM. Dont remember if the oem ball joints are replaceable on the rears. I know on the fronts to get an upper ball joint you have to get the entire control arm

Thanks for the responses guys. For the SPC ball joints it advertises for wheels 17 in. so I'll likely find an OEM one. I'll hit up the Honda dealership and see what they have.
