Default Ball Joint Q's

Well I recently took my jeep to the shop to get it aligned and the shop owner told me that I need an adjustable ball joint on the passenger side. I don't really see why I need adjustable ones, what is the really difference other than the price.

you dont need it. all the adjustable ones does is correct your camber after a lift. i was told i should replace both uppers on mine with adjustables but havent done it . and its just fine

They sure you don't have a bad balljoint? My camber looked good after I replaced them with non adjustables.

Well I think they are bad IMO because I can drive the it park it and passenger side camber will be off I can drive it again park it and then the driver side will be off. So I think that I will just replace all the ball joints and put my new drop pitman arm and get everything aligned.
