Upper ball joint wedge

Posted

I believe these are called camber wedges the upper ball joint sits in. They do appear to be eccentric. I think I remember the orientation they were in but not 100% sure. Got conflicting info on if camber is even adjustable on my truck (248 model front axle).

 

Is there a direction to face them that is kinda standard or just do what I think they were facing before? I think one was facing gap facing 90* into truck and other side was 90* away from truck.

 

Thanks for any help! Finally putting things back together on a full front end service. IMG_20210629_1011467.jpg.29f1f42ad8d816940917140a16652c03.jpg

These pieces are designed to give a non-adjustable camber/caster front end like ours adjustable camber/caster.  So yes they are eccentric and you will want to figure out exactly which way to put them back. 

 

This video should help you out!

Thanks for the reply's.  The weird thing about these is there will only be 6 settings as the flat has to lock in on the outside edge.  I put them back in the way I think they were (I really wish I had made note of how they were).  Alignment feels not bad but I'm going to get it checked.  I have to take the passenger side axle back out because my oil seal started leaking :mad:.  Probably just got a speck of grime in there but for the cost of a seal I'll put a new one in   At least its the easy side!

 

Thanks again
