Default How to adjust offset ball joints?

Hey all, I just redid EVERYTHING on the front end of my '01 1500 4x4, all of the steering linkage, 4 ball joints, axle u-joints, shocks, track bar and a 2" leveling kit. I used the adjustable ball joints for the lowers. One all was said and done I held a small bubble level up the the center of the wheel (where my center caps used to be :-p). The passenger side looks good but the driver side has some obvious negative camber. What is the procedure for adjusting the camber using these adjustable ball joints? Thanks.

Thanks, that was a helpful video. I have a somewhat different style. Mine came with a little chart with random numbers and the joint itself has an arrow you are supposed to line up to the chart. I can't make out what the numbers on the chart mean though. It's just like the Moog problem solver ball joints.

Did you get it figured out. I got the same problem. Where do I point the tick mark on a moot problem solver ball joint? ??
