Default Unknown camber wear?
I've got pretty bad camber wear.. Still has my 2wd axle under the front right now which will be getting replaced in a few months but I cannot figure out why I have camber wear. All 4 ball joints have no play at all, and both front wheel bearings are tight.. What else causes wear?

Ball joints? Worn hub?

That is the new style though! Put a coffee can on your exhaust for 10 extra hp!

Totally teasing...

You've got 2wd and I don't know the 2wd jeep axle set up well.


For the 4wd.

only thing is, if I try to move the tire by grabbing it at 9 and 3 or 12 and 6, the tire is solid.. No movement at all...

I thought that, but both sides have wear.. The driver is just worse than the passenger side.. I can't think of anything else that would possibly cause it.

I know I can get them but I don't believe it has them on it.. As far as I can tell they're not.
