Hi everyone.... When doing a ball joint job does a wheel alignment need to be done also??
If so should that be included in the ball joint quote or is that an extra charge? Thx to all

 

If someone else is doing the install and you have reason to believe your C or axle may be bent, it's a good idea to have it on the alinement machine. If there is a camber issue, it can be fixed with an adj ball joint, and this would need to be done before they set the new BJ. If you don't ok an alinement and they put in a reg BJ and your camber is outta spec, it'll have to be torn back down and have an adj put in. Better to be safe than sorry. Especially with the weak axle C's on the JK and being as that alot come right outta the factory close to being outta spec. Alinement is usually seperate charge.

 

Ok thank you...... I have C gussets welded on already and I'm putting in new ...starts with "S" ball joints and paying extra for a wheel alignment.

 

The rule of thumb that I have always went with..is if you do anything to you're front suspension then get it aligned.

 

K thanks...... That's what I'm doing was just curious if the quote he gave me included an alignment...... I have to ask the shop.... Thx
