Who makes lower ball joints the right way? (eccentric)

Post by Piledriver »

The factory lower ball joints had an eccentric, and IIRC were supposed to be set so they were max forward. (max caster)

The Meyle ball joins you can buy today have no eccentricity, so your caster is probably wrong, likely less than stock, and you can't adjust anything if you had to.

Does anyone make, today, lower T3 ball joint that are properly made? (eccentric)
Addendum to Newtons first law:
zero vehicles on jackstands, square gets a fresh 090 and 1911, cabby gets a blower.
EZ3.6 Vanagon after that.(mounted, needs everything finished) then Creamsicle.
