Default Buddy Club front RCA reviews?

Anyone have any experience with buddy club front RCA/camber adjusters?

I had awful luck with the build quality on Buddy Club seat rails. So I'm slightly apprehensive.

Anyone been using them fot a while? Any issues? Are you happy, or would you have gone with a different option?

no rips in the boot, but I can see minor rubber deterioration in the boot.

thanks for the replies. The boot being junk is predictible...and I think I would likely put an OEM boot on there if it fit.

I was more worried about the ball joint itself, as well as the housing.

Good to know y'all have had luck with them!

You could try the polyurethane boots those guys that make the poly bushings sell. Maybe they have a size that fits.

Boots actually seems like a good application for poly...

Kind of....but none of the aftermarket poly boots fit worth a damn.

I think the OE Honda boots are made from silicone (??) They're fairly indestructible.

More importantly, they fit well.

IDK. I'm debating a RCA setup. But I certainly shouldn't spend more money on the car for a while.

Why does the whole ball joint have to get replaced with the front specific rca? Isn't there just a spacer someone makes that can be sandwiched in with the oem joint?

Been thinking this also,
if are not an offset joint,then just use longer bolts.
If they are offset , geo may not be obtainable with oem.

No, offset wouldn't work, but those that just want to correct rc I dont see why a simple shim/spacer couldn't be used. Someone surely makes one, no?

I have been pondering TF out of why nobody makes a simple plate for a front RCA for a longass time.

I was interested in the Buddy Club ball joint for the offsetting function to widen the front track.
