huck731 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 ok, so I ahve the death wobble and have decided to just replace all the ball joints and tie rod ends due to the mileage of the eurojeep. the tie rod ends are confusing the crap out of me, which ones do I need for a 91 rwd? and can I run the lower adjustable ball joints so I can give it some negative camber?

MOOG/Driveworks Tie Rod End for Drag Link DW-ES3096L - Pitman arm to pitman adjusting sleeve. Monroe Magnum Steering Damper SC2928 - The big shock thingy. Duralast Tie Rod Adjusting Sleeve ES2079S (For Drag Link) Duralast Tie Rod Adjusting Sleeve ES2079S (For Tie Rod) Duralast Tie Rod End DS1312 (For Tie Rod) - ZJ V8 upgrade long tie rod, from drag link to adjusting sleeve. Duralast Tie Rod End ES3096 (For Tie Rod) - ZJ V8 upgrade tie rod end from left steering knuckle to adjusting sleeve. As for ball joints, that is a mystery to me as well.

Comanche County Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I considered the adjustable ball joints but heard stories about them failing. I might be wrong but the fixed camber ball joints do seem stronger. You can get them in .5 degree increments up to 2 degrees IIRC. But you'd be better off getting an alignment first to see which one you need. BTW, why do you want more camber? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huck731 Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 not quit that extreme, but this is a street jeep, 2wd with 2.5l. I'm looking for improved cornering. alexia- is that all the stuff I need to properly to the tie rods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 not quit that extreme, but this is a street jeep, 2wd with 2.5l. I'm looking for improved cornering. Factory spec is zero camber -- dialing in camber is the worst thing you can possibly do for a street vehicle, unless you have lots of money and REALLY enjoy buying tires.

gogmorgo Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 To be honest, camber can reduce your contact patch, leading to less cornering than stock, as well as prematurely wearing tires. Also, street tires aren't intended for camber, so you really increase the chances of a blowout, unless you want to pay half as much again. And then you wouldn't be getting truck tires. As Eagle said, it's better just to stick to OEM. Plus, everyone will look at your truck and go "there's something wrong with your wheels". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
