2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission NAPA Adjustable Ball Joints

[dalexander]

I have had an issue with my Right front tire wearing as if the camber is positive. A friend told me that NAPA makes eccentric ball joints to allow camber adjustment. I looked online and they show 3 different ones . 5 degrees, 1. 0 degrees, and 1. 5 degrees. Has anyone used these ball joints? Are they limited to maximum adjustment? ie . 5 degrees + or - In any case I guess I should get the alignment checked first then figure out which one I need. Just wanted to know if anyone has used these joints yet? Do they stay aligned with off road use or will I have to keep getting it aligned. One shop told me they can bend the axle housing to correct the issue. Do not know if that's such a good idea.



Any guidance would be appreciated



Thanks, Dennis

I had the same issue..... I just bought mine at Advance Auto and installed them myself, then took it to the local shop and they realigned it and centered my steering and adjusted caster and camber... works great... I had talked to Napa b4 I called anywhere else and they had asked me the same thing they had talked to u about, that was the 1st time I had ever heard of those kind, then I had talked to my brother and he told me that his jeep were adjustable but mine were'nt so just went with the regular ones and worked out great..... Good Luck
