Idiots Guide to Suspension Parts?

Yeah, I've read that on the various posts regarding SPC product. Quick question: are camber arms and control arms the same thing or is there something different about them? Sometimes the terms seem interchangeable, other times I wonder if one is a more basic form of the other (ie: as springs are to coil-overs).

Thanks for your input.

To adjust front camber on our cars you need to replace the front upper control arms with ones that have a moveable upper ball joint. Different manufacturer's have different methods for providing ball joint adjustibility but in the end they all accomplish the same goal (just some better than others).

Many of us refer to the front upper control arms on our cars as camber arms. The proper term is upper control arm but since on the Z the UCA is used for camber adjustment many of us just call it a camber arm. Not all cars have this suspension setup and therefor terminology on other forums/internet may not be interchangeable.
