right side camber off, something bent?
3 years ago I put a 4.5 rubicon express lift on my xj and 33" tires and had it aligned. At that time the camber on the right wheel was at -0.9 just outside of spec. Just had it aligned again for the first time since then and now it is at -1.3. Left side was ok both times in spec. Could something be bent on the right? Just put new synergy ball joints in. If I need to give any more info let me know thanks

Got a question are you just being **** about the numbers? OR, Are you having any alignment related issues??????? Cause if you are not having any issues other than the computer printout, I would call it good. I have no idea what those numbers mean.. Because after 5 Jeeps I have yet to ever had one professionally aligned. I have a tape measure, angle finder and 2 eyes, just do it myself.

Your alignment chart looks good. Camber being off only that main degrees isn't that bad and sometimes its because of how the roads are in areas and the camber adjusts after so much mileage to the actual metal. Honestly you have no problem unless you have adjustable ball joints in then if you really want you can have it squared up but its not bad its fine, You should see mine, they told me I need to get a new front axle or get new axle tubes because they are bent just enough that my camber on 1 wheel is way off but honestly it hasn't eaten any parts yet beside putting a weird wear on my front tires. So with those numbers don't fret none.

I was having some bad wandering problems and feathering on the tires. Replacing the ball joints fixed a lot of the wandering and I was hoping it would put the right camber back in spec so I was a little surprised that it got farther off from last alignment. I got new arms to get the caster back where it should be I was just hoping it would all be in spec. I also just didn't know really how far off the camber really was if its really not bad I'm not worried about it. The toe was pretty far off so I hope getting that fixed will stop the feathering. Thanks for the help
