Alignment issue

Have a 90 xj with 8" longarm on 35s. D30 front axle. I have pretty severe negative camber. This is not adjustable on this axle and knuckle. The knuckles appear to be the issue. I have seen the offset balljoints but hear they are crap. Any other solutions or just buy tires two at a time?

Ya gotta adjust the arms. Once castor is set correctly the Camber will also be correct.

See the mounting points for the knuckle have the Camber built in. As you twist the axle the Camber changes.

And it should straighten up if i lengthen the top bar on the rustys long arm right? Looks likevit should do the trick.

Get an angle finder. There are articles, Google hits and probably threads on here that will tell you how to set it up.

Could cut them and re weld but it's work.

Why? If he has adjustable arms and get the castor in spec there's no problem.
