I took the XJ to the alignment shop today and they told me that they couldnt align it because the camber was off and that I need to have a set of adjustable ball joints put in (at $420 for parts and labor). The jeep is a 94 XJ with 6" suspension lift. Is this something that I really need or are they full of it? They didnt say how much its off and the 33's dont appear to have more wear on one side than the other. If I do ned adj ball joints is this something I can do myself and are the adj joints adjustable after installation or only at install? Any help and advice for a newbie would be very appreciated!

 

how far off.

 

I dont know, my wife picked the jeep up since I was at work and couldnt leave. I measured the toe-in/out as best as I could on the 33's and it looks to be about 1/8" toed out. I have some intermitent Death Wobble, that being said I know I need a hd steering stab. I had never heard of a adj ball joint and the tires look to have pretty normal wear. I'm going to go by the shop in the morning and see if they will tell me anything.

 

I picked up the print out from the alignment shop today and it doesnt look nearly as bad as they made it out to be. The toe is off a pretty good bit, camber is only out of spec by 3 tenths of a degree on one side.

 

what kind of control arms u running? adjustable or non? long arm kit or short?

 

I think its a rough country lift so I would think that is the control arm make, short arm, adj control arms
