Re: Any Alignment specialist?
jeep offers offset kits for balljoints that might correct the issue if money is
tight but axle replacement is the correct repair

Re: Any Alignment specialist?
I too have replaced countless ball joints, from my business from
'63 with a break for the ARMY until '87:
http://www.----------.com/chevron.jpg and addresses at:
http://www.----------.com/oscilloscope.jpg I did presume that by now
they had bearings, as the ones I replaced that had exploded and were all
rusting inside and looked just like a bad universal joint cap:
http://www.gohumvee.com/images/broke...intbolts/2.JPG . Instead of
just a ball and bushing: http://www.----------.com/ballJoint.jpg Tag
this post and check it from time to time and sooner or latter the poster
will write that he replace the ball joint, just like they've
acknowledged all the rest of my replies.

Re: Any Alignment specialist?
Thanks Steve G.
I got the answer I need.
I was thinking since camber is almost at end of variance It would not wear
substantially on inside, but I needed to know as I just Put new tires on
this TJ.
I was going to try an bend it back down but was afraid something in that
tube might start leaking.
I am going to watch it and rotate the tires a little more often and if it
looks like It is wearing I will get it straightened.
At least now I know it can be bent back down.
Thanks again for giving me the answer I needed.

I got the answer I need.
I was thinking since camber is almost at end of variance It would not wear
substantially on inside, but I needed to know as I just Put new tires on
this TJ.
I was going to try an bend it back down but was afraid something in that
tube might start leaking.
I am going to watch it and rotate the tires a little more often and if it
looks like It is wearing I will get it straightened.
At least now I know it can be bent back down.
Thanks again for giving me the answer I needed.

Re: Any Alignment specialist?
If the tube's bent at it's weakest point at the differential
housing it'll eventually tweak and break that axle.
