I am going to replace the 4 ball joints the comp rod bushes and the upper arm bushes(the ones that fit on the bit that adjusts the camber bolt thingy)
are these the right ones? do I need 8?

Yep they will root out any worn parts on the the front suspension.
Just waiting for my lower ball joints to give up the ghost,uppers have been done as have the comp rod bushes,which made so much difference the handling of the truck:thumb2

i've lost a bit of travel since putting the poly bushes on comp rods

Do I need 8 of the top arm bushes?.
I know these all need changing but I don't know if this will solve my collapsed looking passenger side suspension.
I need to sort all these out before messing with any camber adjustments.
Something has deffinatly got loosed this week.sounds like the passenger wheels going fall off
I will get me bits asap.meantime I hope its dry Sunday.lots to do including refitting rear bumper I knocked off last weekend.
Cutting some more arches.
And jacking front end up and wiggling stuff:thumbs

upper requires 2 per side, as for the droop check the torsion adjuster hasn't pulled through the x member, had that happen to me before, as for the noises just check all the bits around the side the noise is on, drop links, c.v joint etc.

Be very careful to tell your supplier the reg and year of your truck. There are two different sizes of lower balls
They usually get these things right but if they cock up you've given them the info :thumbs

When my upper ball joints went sloppy it threw the camber out and the upper control arm was resting on the bump stop.
It's the upper that sits at a bad angle when you crank the torsion bars up.
The kingpin inclination is still not spot on after I lowered the front end a tad.

exosteve make sure that the bottom ball joints are right as there are 2 different lengths and it makes all the difference between driveable and not . its from the bolt hole length between the nearest bolt and the joint . there about 20mm difference in length

Given the steering mod has just been done to yours ar you sure it's nothing in relation to that?

Awfully coincidental to go so soon after, unless extra strain now in other components after super strong steering :nenau

There is nothing on the steering mod that will effect the camber of the truck.
Tracking needs to be done as you have to remove the track rods.
Had mine done twice now and it likes to wander a bit.
