My front tires have awful negative camber. I've checked and rechecked everything underneath with bushings, ball joints, bearings, etc. I even took it to a shop to let them look at it. They told me (as I originally thought) that the axle tubes were bent. I've searched online and haven't been able to find anything. Do you guys know where I can get some? Thanks.

 

Sorry I don't know of anywhere but it might be more cost effective to just buy a complete diff out of a wrecked one. Around here I find them all over for usually $150-$200.

 

our best best is probbably gonna be to bite the bullet and get a new assembly, the work to replace just the tubes is gonna cost more than a new or used(jy or cl) assembly. i have the same issue but im waiting till i find a set of 3/4 ton axles to put under my girl

 

Depending how bad they have collapsed, you can purchase adjustable ball joints.

 

I installed 4.56 gears in the differential 2 years ago. I'm apprehensive about getting a whole new assembly and having to pay to have that done again. How much play is in the adjustable ball joints?

 

they can make up for a few degrees worth of camber but they cost a small fortune

 

Replace the entire front axle. Get one that is straight from a junkyard, transfer the parts out of yours into it that you want to keep, replace all worn parts, and call it good. You will come out cheaper than trying to replace tubes......

Another alternative would be, check with a body shop that has a REAL frame machine, and see if they can't straighten it out for ya.

 

here's a small amount of adjustment in the moog ball joints, just under 2 degrees.

I had a 55 Chevy years ago that had the rear axle housing bent.
Had it straightened at an alignment shop.
That was when a good alignment place had the equipment to bend axles as some older cars had solid front axles.
If there is an old shop thats been in business for many years around you they may be able to do it.
