Adjustable ball joint?
So I bought my Cherokee a little over a year ago, shortly after buying it I installed a 3 inch lift and when I took it to get a front end alignment the garage pointed out that I have the slightest little bend in the axle so my alignment is never going to be 100%, it is so slight that you really have to sit there and look at it to notice, someone just walking by wouldn't even notice it, anyways anyone think if I got an adjustable ball joint and then got it aligned again that would help getting it as close as possible?

The garage didn't even suggest anything for a fix so no, all they charged me for was the alignment and I'm really not trying to sink the money into a new axle...

Might be able to find a shop to put it in for another few hundred - dont go to a standard "garage" as they will charge you a fortune. Try to find a smaller 4x4 shop that would be able to perform a competent job. I could do it in my driveway, and I'm not really a mechanic...
