To check ball joint s jack up the front axle and support on jack stands and then get a pipe under the tire and then lift up the tire wheile watching the ball joints. They are located where the knuckle meets the inner c on the axle. If they have any upward movement replace them. The unit bearings to check those while its still on jacks grab the top and bottom of the tire and try to rock it inward and out ward there should be no play at all. If there is replace it

I would like to fix this stuff in my parking lot but I never did it before.if I can find someone that knows how I would rather pay them then an alignment shop since itll probably be 100s of $$$but I am hoping its just the bearings and alignment

Lowrange2

That's more than bearings, dude.

Well im driving it all next week like that til.I can get it fixed next weekend.nothing I can do about it right now.it was driven from maryland to pa with no problems.and went wheeling before I got it.I dont think its as bad as everyone is saying.cant really say it needs all that just from a pic.but I am put a jack under it after work and gonna check stuff out.so ill let u all know how that goes.

If you drive it like that your tires will wear unevenly and it could lead to really bad vibrations even after you fix the toe in because of the uneven wear, leading to you having to buy all new tires. Just saying I would probably find a car to borrow for the time being until its fixed.

Go slow!

Excessive toe out will give the illusion of excessive negative camber.

I wondered about that, too.

Did all the checks .I have a bent tie rod doing the 95 zj v8 tierod upgrade this weekend

Lowrange2

Looks pretty straight from here. How'd you determine that?

Did you check the alignment or are you guessing?

Also compared it to a friends xj and his was perfect after looking at mine it was an immediate notice

Lowrange2

Yup. I agree, that's bent. I still don't feel like being toed in would cause that much of a camber issue. I guess if the caster is way out it could.

Mikeythrash

My alignment is also bad and its only that side that is toed in really which is right where its bent. The tires are also only 10.5 wide I really dont like them now for reg driving wheeling there good. What tires do u recommend gettimg for wheeling and reg driving

One side can't be toed in more than another. If you bent the tie rod it is going to change both tires. The tire width has nothing to do with how they drive on the road. They have probably worn poorly from your jacked up steering.

I liked the KM2's for a Jeep that sees both rocks/ trails and street time. I hated them in mud, but mud is for girls and trucks.
