Here are those pictures.
The wheel is turned very slightly to the left, so keep that in mind.

If you need different angles, or need a better shot of something in particular, let me know.

I had a thought when taking these pictures. Is it possible that my knuckles have been swapped side to side and flipped over? Is that even possible?























So what do you guys think here? Is this beast lifted?

 

Looks like there is a coil spacer in there....

 

Really? I thought that was factory.
Ok so theres a spacer, but would that throw the camber out that much?

 

Spacer would have no effect on camber. And you are right, that is WAY out of spec. Adjustable balljoints only give you 1 or 2 degrees as well, so, I am not sure that even those would get you back into spec. Somethings gotta be bent there.

 

Any thoughts on what that could be? Or maybe how to find out?
What about those steering knuckles? Could those be basically upside down and backwards flipped side to side?

 

If you can find a nice flat surface, measure from the ground, to the bottom of the axle tube right behind the knuckle, and then again, right at the pig. See how those compare. (although, I would think, given the way your tires sit, if that where where the bend was, it would be pretty obvious.... check it anyway.)

I don't think the C's on the axle side are installed wrong. Not sure it is even possible. Certainly not from the factory....... It seems to me though, that the upper balljoints should be pressed UPWARD to install, not downward as the pics show. I may be wrong there..... You have pretty much the same front axle I do, I will get some pics tomorrow of the front end on my truck. It's cold and dark here now.......

I would wonder if the top 'ears' on the C's are bent...... although, seems to me, if that were the case, they would be bent the OTHER way........ That one is a real head scratcher.

 

I second the spacer in there. Also second it would have no effect on camber. The knuckles appear to be on correctly. Not sure if its even possible to install them in any other way.

How difficult was it to remove the knuckles? Reason I ask is cuz I'm theorizing here. Wondering if by chance the knucles got bent on disassembly somehow. If I'm thinking correctly, if the "ears" on the knuckles got bent downward, then when reassembled, they would sit with a positive camber.

Might want to see if you can find a knuckle at a JY and compare it to yours.

 

I got a D44 but, the upper installs from the top, pressing down. The lowers install from bottom, pressing up.

 

Ok.... I suppose the bottoms are the ones bearing the weight in any event...

 

The knuckles separated from the ball joints fine. The hubs wouldn't come the hell off for anything. The ball joints were original as are the hubs so they did not want to come out, but they did.

Really I had no problems taking it apart or putting it back together.
