[QUOTE="Creston, post: 444715, member: 22510"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="20210503_134849.jpg"]120496[/ATTACH] Everything is permanent except the pressed in ball joints. The only way for the tire to lean is a bent ear on the knuckle or a bent tube. And these tubes suck if you really go offroad. Generally they do ok in the mall parking lot but I suppose a hard hit on a pot hole could do it. On trucks we see it a lot with over loading but the jeeps are so puny that we don't see that much. Lol Generally camber is set by an oblong bolt in the upper bolt hole to the strut which a solid axle jeep doesn't have. Sometimes it's set by moving the top of the strut or moving the upper A- arm that again, live axles don't have those. The offset ball joints will make up for whatever you have ruined but it would be best to fix the problem. Straighten the tube and gusset it or whatever needs done. If its bent it will only get worse if you use it. The knuckles aren't very high of that's the issue and cost the same to install as doing ball joints. The axle tube would take a bit more skill and id about bet that is where the problem is [/QUOTE]
