    wishbone/ball joint alignment

    I have just changed the front wishbones as well as 2 new front balljoints on my 20vq.

    However it seems the ball joints are adjustable probably for camber/castor

    Question is what way should the ball joints line up or adjust if you know what I mean??

    thanks

    if you loosen the ball joint you can adjust it .moving it in or out depending on how far out it is .

        Get a camber gauge and set it to the specification?

              You need to get a proper 4wheel alignment done, not a quick tracking adjustment a proper one where they set camber too. Finding somewhere in this country that even knows how to adjust the camber is another challenge, only guys i've found that are capable are up in Drogheda. Countrys full of cowboys when it comes to tracking, another quick money maker in the name of NCT's
