Hey all, new to the forum. I have an 87 4x4 ranger, just replaced upper and lower ball joints and now my camber is off. I put the camber adjusting nut in the same spot it was in, it almost seems impossible not to. It either goes in forwards or backwards. I'm wondering if I did something stupid like press the ball joints in to deep? Or slightly uneven? I pressed them in and they had a clip. There is no play, and I figured if they were pressed to far or slightly uneven, that tightening down as much as possible would get them right.
Kind of a pain taking the axles out to re do the ball joints, but I'm afraid that's what needs to be done.
I took it to a shop for an alignment, since I also replaced tie rods and they "dont do camber"..."old trucks are like that" "it's not that bad"....
Guess I am on my own.
Basically, has anyone had this happen?
