I recently bought a used 2008 jku and took it to the alignment shop this is the read out. Should I be worried about the camber and if so what can I do to correct out side of buying a new front axel.

 

it is possible your ball joints are worn and causing the high reading. The caster really needs to be corrected via adjustable lca or geo brackets. My 2018 Recon had the camber out of spec right from the factory and I have had an alignment specialist tell me it is not uncommon for camber to be out of spec. They make ball joints that correct it but you are not so far out that it will hurt anything.

 

Thanks for the info

 

So what is the better of the two solutions for the caster.

 

how much lift do you have and mostly daily driver or hard core off-road machine? if mostly DD I like geobrackets they are effective and cheaper than adjust control arms but give up a little ground clearance. I go to moab all the time and have never had an issue with geo brackets but if you are racing king of hammers probably better go control arms.

 

Mainly a dd but will take it to the woods. I not sure of the lift I bought it from a dealership. I found some lower control arms on extreme terrain price wasn't to bad.

 

See if you can figure out the lift height, it could make a difference.

Some brackets are designed for a certain height, other brackets have multiple sets of holes to align with several different lift heights. Fixed ca's are designed for a certain height, adjustable arms can be lengthened/shortened as needed. At taller lift heights, you may be better off with both upper and lower control arms instead of a single set to allow you to reposition the axles in wheel wells. There are arms with bends at certain places to help with ground/tire clearance. And then there are a few different kinds of joints on the various control arms, which could impact the ride or how much maintenance you have to keep up with. --> look past the low-low price tags at what you are actually going to end up with!

 

I would look at some online reviews of those arms, maybe search for those same arms on Amazon to see what others have said about them. Definitely don't reference the reviews on ET, since they will tend to hide negative reviews. The point I'm getting at is those adjustable arms may be fine, but they are not a popular brand name and a lower cost adjustable arm where you can easily overlook things like the joints popping out, early life joint wearing, poor arm bend and other items related to rust. I like to not over spend for what I need by getting the high price biggest/best/brand name, but in doing so I often do a lot of research and reading reviews so there are no surprises and can make a better informed purchase decision.

 

You should be able to fix both the caster and camber with off-set ball joints. You really don't need adjustable control arms.

 

never used these but seems like a pretty economical way to correct camber.
