but you are asking if there is a balljoint that will allow you to adjust caster/camber?

that is true but if you were running equal length control arms ...they would bind sooner then uniballs....correct or no?

i guess equal length control arms look pretty, but they dont work on the road so well.... in a bagged truck that is driven easy you can get away with it.

Uni balls do not give more travel then stock ball joints. You will likely be limited to about 9"

A 3/4" uniball with a 1/2" bolt will offer a total of 60 deg of movement. The stock ball joint will certainly ofer more movement.

You could run the uniball on it's side (see the F-150 in my profile) It will limit steering, but not travel. Most of the custom set-ups I build gets run that way.

Sorry- You would be limited to about 9" on a stock suspension with uni-balls replacing the balljoint

i got a equal length set up going under my blazer that i designed. if i want to drive it on a long trip i can move the upper control back and it will be close to factory....and easier to drive in the long trips....and then the upper arms can be moved out to equal length for show....no camber is good.....lol....

i thought they went alittle further, i know an s10 balljoint has somewhere around 70-75 degrees....

hey max you guys hiring ....lol...love the work you do and looking for a fabrication/welding job....

Camber is good and is there for a good reason. Excessive camber is bad or at least counter productive.

An equal length parrallel a-arm design is an elaborate VW bug front end. and will promote tire wear on the outside of the tire.
