Take a look at the hole in my Left side ball joint. Ouch.

Also, Is the right side slightly higher than the left side? The reason I question is because when measured I found 1/5 - 1/4 of a an inch height difference on the right side of the Jeep over the left. This was noticed today after I installed Al's Upper A-arms. I never really measured my vehicle before so I had no idea what prior measurements looked like. I do remember reading on L.O.S.T about a height difference. I did adjust the clevis 1/4" on both sides and measured to ensure accuracy.

Tomorrow I take her in for a complete Alignment and Tire balance. The arms made a huge noticeable difference. I assume its due to the increase in tow that was gained based on the extension of the arms. I did notice I need to have the lower control arm adjusted regarding pitch since the bottom of the right tire now leans slightly in. But if the mechanice knows what he/she is doing they will be able to adjust that.

Yup all KJs sit about 1/4 or so higher on the right. If you go over to LOST its been discussed a few times.
