Default Offset balljoints

Any suggestions on using offset or adjustable ball joints to adjust camber ?

Have you taken it to a shop to get its alignment read? What is the camber at?

This is his second thread on it:

Apparently, rather than getting the specs or trying to find the actual cause, he's just going to throw money at it.

Like I mentioned in your other thread, the normal camber for the JK is negative; tires leaning in slightly.
You need your JK's actual camber numbers before you try to "fix" it . Don't rely on how it looks to the eye.

At -1° and -0.6°, I would not really worry about it. Im at -3.5 and -5, mine is extremely noticeable and causes the axle seals to go bad pretty quick. I wish I had your problem and you had mine! I'm buying a Dynatrac HD 44 this weekend. That will fix it right up.
