OK the shops around me cant get the camber adjusted right on my jeep after i lifted it.. its 4.5 in and they said they could try offset ball joints but prob wouldn't work... so im thinking about swapping in a HP Dana 30. mine is a 2000 so it dosen't have it now. will it go right in? no fabbing anything up? i can get one for 100 bucks, hub to hub complete with steering..worth trying? would like to here your input, thanks Butch

An HP 30 isnt going to help your camber at all. even with an HP 30 you would possibly been to used angle BJ's to get the camber right. something just doesnt sound right here with your ball joints. are you sure they are good, maybe with the lift its showing its true colors of being bad? lifting shouldnt affect camber, i wouldnt think, just caster. Are you sure he didnt mean caster?

positive, thats what no one can understand... the inside of my tires are wearing bad. they said the camber is off and it has new ball joints...? soo idk!???? starting to be a pain in the A$$ and they have aligned it twice 2nd time for free and still like that... you can see they tires tilted in...

Gee oh Dee

I will leave alone your alignment issues, but a HP30 for $100 including steering is a good deal, and an upgrade for you.

And depending on year it will be a straight swap.

out of a 94.. and alright.

Gee oh Dee

If its a CAD axle you'll have to made some minor modifications. If its not, its a complete straight swap.

CAD? whats that mean?

Rock Toy

94 has smaller weaker u-joints

Gee oh Dee

Its the two piece, vacuum disconnect front axle.

scheetz_21

there weaker!? and so i dont even know if its my axle that's actually throwing it outta alignment..?

Haha no minor adjustments.. It's a huge PITA to get the right seals! The knuckles and the shafts are the easiest part, have fun with the seal! Ill be trying to fix mine for the second time this friday

Swapping the one piece shaft from a 99 HP gave me the stronger u joints and the one piece shaft

if your camber is off so bad they cant fix it with camber adjusting ball joints, you ought to be replacing your bent axle anyway

This.

Camber isn't adjustable without offset ball joints, which still doesn't unbend whatever is bent in the first place.

I retract the statement that a new axle may not help, it would if yours is bent. My questions... was it off camber before lift? Before new ball joints? If it is off camber after new joints, old coulda been worn enough to make it straight. Do you know if your jeep was in any accidents?
