ball joints 98 xj
what would cause me to need a 2+ positive degree ball joint on just the passenger side and nothing on the driver side to even up the alignment. it has a 3in lift. nothing major, all stock with 31's? any advice? anything i need to check?

bent knuckle... in order to pull your alignment back right... could go get another knuckle from the JY but then itll cost the same as a adjustable ball joint... there on ebay pretty cheap...

check the wheel bearing, jack up the axle and wiggle the tire back and forth if it has play in it you need a wheel bearing..runs 70-100 dollars
