buddy club upper arm/ ball joint integra

Post by IshbOO »

Hey guys,


I've owned a pair of Buddy club upper arms and ball joints for about 5-6 months. Well the screws on the upper ball joints literally sheared off due to a little rust. pretty cheap IMO.

I was trying to order new ball joints for them and cant find any from buddy club.

I went ahead and ordered the competition style two plate peice Blox ball joints for them. And they dont seem to fit right, I'm afraid it is unsafe to use these on this arm. There is no hole cut in the arm for the top of the ball joint to pass through like most camber arms, and the top plate will not sit flush on the arm due to the "raised area" where the hole usually is.

JHPUSA's website said they would fit, but it just seems unsafe and I really dont think they fit right.

Here is the arm

And here is the ball joint I had ordered. Which I think is not safe on this arm.

What do you guys think?





Anyone know a replacement ball joint for these arms? You think the normal blox ball joints will fit?

That's not correct ball joint. You need the standard BLOX Front Upper Ball Joint.

standard blox ball joint doesnt even fit. i say screw these buddy club arms. I put on some wicked tuning arms with the blox joints. for now. Gonna go with skunk2 pro plus when i can find some.


Don't buy buddy club camber kits, they are horrible, and you cant find replacement ball joints.
