Upper ball joint wedge

[Timburrr]

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.

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!

I would guess at it and put it back together make an appointment with a alignment shop and have them set it properly.

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 .  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
