worse

mine when like that when i lifted it , something else is wrong

 

[extreme-4x4]

thought so . everything else is new. so its gotta be wrong top ball joint. i checked the bottoms against old and new but not the tops.... ill have to pluck out some washers then

still it passed today.... tomorrow will now be taken up with the camber and getting all this legal shite off it

wont do pics it looks gay

colin, im sure pete had trouble with positive camber, i think there are several types of ball joints, cant exactly remember now, :doh:thumb2

 

[makeitfit]

Evenin' I wont bore with my woes BUT it's the bottom ball joints pretty sure. The top ones are the same across the range alegedly.
I had the same probs with massive positive camber. Changed the bottom balls and sorted
You simply wont get enough return by taking out the little washers.
Also if you did the top arm bushes the spindle has a right way and a wrong way of fitting it:doh

bottoms def the same i measured them so can only be the top ones or the spindle . i recon plenty in the washers to get it .

so its a case of whats most likely or easiest fix

but def not the bottom ball joints ...

one thing i have been thinking though, whileon the subject. i did swap the top wishbones for the ones off makeitfit's old truck i broke that was a td so could be some variation there

i suppose the wrong camber is showing about half inch over the height of the wheel . so removing the 2mm washers should get that easy .... well hopefully

your thoughts

Well the washers are the quickest to take out:sly but I'll be suprised if 2mm will get rid of it though. Interesting to find out.
I think my old truck was early one and there is a difference but thought it was at the bottom:nenau
See you tomorrow, didnt get mine together till tonight:doh
