Top ball joints!

[makeitfit]

Me again, does anyone know if there are different era top ball joints for the Maverick 2.7 TDi P reg?
I've recently fitted all new top and bottom balls and bushes and bearings basically rebuilt the front end
However the positive camber I had was awful:augie Found out there were diff. bottom ball joints and corrected them but not sure about the top ones. I still reckon I've got some small pos camber
I dont like it and my new tyres certainly wont

Hiya mate, I had that problem to with the wheels sticking out from the T2 at the top. I solved it by mounting the ball joint on top of the A arm instead under neath it. I removed the rubber boot from the ball joint and removed the metal lip with an angle grinder and it slipped in ok. Then I used the bolts from underneath the A arm to thread through to the ball joint and it worked and still running that way.

PICS :lol
I cant quite follow that? I had thought of opening up the hole in the top of the A bar/top wishbone to allow for some adjustment in camber though.
Why doesnt the ball come out if you've cut off the ridge?:nenau Or was it the ridge of the A bar you cut off? Will that effect the camber much though? Has it restricted travel too?

Travel was not affected and the ball didnt come out as there is only a small ridge to hold the rubber boot in place, once that is cleaned off the joint should slot in or you may need to make the hole a little bigger. I still have the calmini blue arms if you want to try them.
