There are three types of ball joints. Original recalled junk ones , replacement ( which you have ) , and Buggy Depot Heavy Duty - THE BEST ! If you were ordering parts for yours , you would want even type third Gen. Spindles . While your at it remove the bolts that secure the bulkhead to the frame , and go to grade eight , and washers on the inside also (not done from the factory and the bolts usually pull through the slots ) meaning the whole front end parts ways.

Awesome this is what I am looking for info wise. So the uneven set-up suspension relates to the A Arms not being the same length corrrect? I dont think that the passenger side spindle is actually a spindle, it looks like somebody welded up some channel and made one, but I could be wrong.
So should I replace the lower A arms to make an even set-up? Should I just replace both spindles as the driver side one looks to be pretty damaged? I can probably welded some gussets in as I have seen in a different thread. The passenger side tire was completely bald indicating that my toe in or some part of the set up was toast. I going to pull everything apart soon and go through the motor and suspension, so just trying to get my ducks in a row.
