{"product_id":"cr-v-front-camber-arms-1997-2001","title":"CR-V Front Camber Arms 1997-2001 – 2pc Adjustable Front Upper Control Arms with Ball Joints for Honda CRV","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCR-V Front Camber Arms – Adjustable Upper Control Arms for 1997-2001 Honda CR-V\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese CR-V front camber arms are a pair of adjustable front upper control arms, left and right, each supplied with its ball joint already assembled. They replace the fixed factory upper arms so that front camber can be set where you want it, and the supplier lists them for the Honda CR-V from 1997 to 2001. Easy Life Markets sells the two arms as a set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first CR-V uses \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Double_wishbone_suspension\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003edouble wishbone suspension\u003c\/a\u003e at the front, with an upper and a lower arm on each side. The factory upper arm has no camber adjustment. Change the ride height and the top of each front wheel tilts, the tyre starts running on one edge of its tread, and the alignment shop has no adjuster to correct it. On these arms the ball joint is mounted on a plate that slides in and out, which moves the top of the knuckle and changes the camber. The supplier's description puts it this way: the arms let you fine-tune handling on a lowered car and stop the premature tyre wear caused by the front wheels riding on the inside tread.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Is Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 x front upper camber arms with ball joints preassembled, left and right\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs shown in the product photos, each ball joint comes with a nut on its stud, and the adjuster plate is held by six socket-head bolts.

The adjustment range is the supplier's figure; what you reach on the car depends on ride height and on the state of the other front suspension parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the Adjustment Works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach arm is a tubular A-shape with two bushed pivots at the body end. At the outer end, in place of a fixed ball joint, there is a flat plate with two slots. The ball joint is carried on that plate and clamped by six bolts. Slacken the bolts, slide the joint along the slots, and tighten them again: moving the joint outwards pushes the top of the wheel out, and moving it inwards pulls it in. The supplier notes that the adjustment is easy to reach and can be made without removing the arm from the vehicle. The supplier also says the hard rubber at the inner pivots is there to keep suspension deflection down and give a more direct feel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eChecking Fitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe supplier gives one application: Honda CR-V, 1997–2001.

That gives a neutral starting point.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupport the car on stands rated for its weight, and support the lower arm so the knuckle does not hang on the brake hose once the upper joint is released.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse a ball joint separator to free the old joint from the knuckle. Do not hammer on the stud.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTighten the inner pivot bolts with the suspension at ride height, and torque every fastener to the service manual figure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHave the alignment set on a rack straight away. Camber changes toe, and toe is what destroys tyres quickly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter the alignment, make sure all six adjuster bolts on each arm are fully tight, and check them again after the first few hundred kilometres.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpper control arms and ball joints are safety-critical. If the adjuster bolts or the ball joint nut work loose, the wheel is no longer properly located. Have a qualified mechanic fit and align the arms unless you are experienced with suspension work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eLooking After the Arms\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInspect the ball joint boots and the adjuster bolts whenever the front wheels are off. If you raise or lower the car again, the camber moves with it, so plan on another alignment. Uneven tyre wear appearing later is the signal to have the settings rechecked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho These Arms Are For\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOwners of lowered first-generation CR-Vs who are wearing out front tyres early, people restoring an older CR-V who want adjustable replacements for worn upper arms, and workshops that fit lowering springs and need a way to finish the alignment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre CR-V front camber arms needed on a standard-height car?\u003c\/strong\u003e Usually not.
