caster/camber different
Hi Folks,
I have a 1995 F-250 4x4. I recently replaced the ball joints on the drivers side. I was ready to change the passenger side as well, but noticed the caster/camber part, in the top ball joint if different from the drivers side. Should I get 1 the same as the drivers side?. Are they supposed to be different? Has anybody run into this before? I was just wondering before I change the ball joints. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank in advance.

Very common. Reinstall. Be sure all other parts are in good shape. Have alignment checked. You may need camber/caster adjusters to dial in the alignment. Go with Ingalls. Best made. Fine tune for perfect alignment.

Thanks. The 53200 series bushing looks identical to the Superlift ones I'm using. Pretty easy to adjust and lots of adjustment available.
Btw, in answer to the original question, from the factory I had a full degree in difference between the two sides, so it's very common to see that.

Yes. I have seen many combinations in 35 years of frame/alignment work. With a little patience and good tires, twin I beam will drive like it's on rails.
