I have no clue if that's required. Alright, here's my list of parts to replace....
Ball joints (all)
Upper control arms and bushings
Tie rods (both inner and outer)

Anything else I should change while I'm there?

You talking about the negative camber?

Redneck_ranger

Well, I totaled it all up and I'm looking at approximately $550 worth of parts, and a few days downtime from the truck. She's waiting until the summer to get it done when I can save up some cash...

Yessir. Can't stand it. Looks awkward, wears my tires HORRIDLY, and causes the truck to ride like crap.

That sucks!!! So if i crank my tbars will it do that?

Redneck_ranger

I'm not entirely sure anymore. I swore by it before, but after getting an alignment, and having the two numbers be so far off, I don't think it is from that anymore. I mean, yeah. They'll be cambered somewhat because the upper A-arm is shorter than the bottom, but not this bad. Hooligan has his cranked from what he told me, and he got his aligned for it. They sell adjustable camber kits to fix this too, but I'm not going to add another part if I don't need to.

i know with my ranger you cant just change the upper ball joint, it's the entire upper control arm with the bushings that get changed

with the torsion bar set up, from the factory the upper ball joint is non-replacable without changing the entire upper control arm,

moog sells there upper control arms with a new ball joint and in thier kit it is replaceable.

i know, cause i have a 2000 ranger in my shop right now, im doing ball joints on.

just get the moog and be done with it


wait? so pete u got an alignment just to see the number and didnt have them adjust anything? seems like a waste of time and money bud
