Default Need some Dana 30 measurements

Can someone measure their dana 30 balljoint thru balljoint like i did below for a degree reading? And also take a reading of their axle tube to determine how of the BallJoint/Balljoint reading will be. I need to determine the condition of my axle ears.

I leveled mine to an exact 0* before I started.




Then I took my readings ( I need your readings too please)
Btw i used a new hack saw blade as a strait edge on the magnet of the angle finder to help me make sure my readings were strait.

To see if I did indeed bend my inner C's. The axle tube is strait. But i doubt that ball joints and Unit Bearings would cause this much Negative Camber






and if they are bent (when compared to others measurements) Then i need to determine whether or not they are fixable with adjustable ball joints or i need a new axle. Either way something is really messed up and i hope it is just a combination of balljoints and wheel bearings but before throwing parts at it I wanna make sure
