New bearings riding good, all that's left in my front end issues is to get an aftermarket track bar bracket. Maybe a new track bar if no option will work with my RE1600.

Got a fresh alignment yesterday. My front end had -2.4° camber from my abuse. #StanceLyfe lol. Sitting straight now at the expense of my inside tread which I'm not happy about givin I work with tires all day and see how easy it is to avoid. I think that gave me like a quarter inch of lift back too because it was so slanted.

I didn't think there was a way to adjust it other than replace ball joints or straighten the axle

It had a bit to do with this.



I post a bit more on my Instagram. I'll need to type a few essays to bring this up to date.
