OK so the paperwork from my crappy firestone alignment says Negative 1.2 degrees. So should I order the 1 or 1.5degree offset baljoint? I know the balljoint is bad but I don't think just replacing it with a new one will make up for that much, or will it?

I think you have .2 from the factory and that can never change. I would just replace with stock ones, moog.

Does anybody know if the 5-spoke 15' alloy rims off a 97-01 Cherokee will fit my '94?
Mine originally came with steel rims....some rust now and I want to change.

Will probably put Michelin P235/75R15 's on them.

Thanks for the info! Once that is done do you think I could put 32" tires on it? Not sure if you can answer, without measurements, but like I said I am a Newbie, the hubby told me to research, and he would do the work lol. Thanks again!

I meant your camber has changed 1 degree. I'd guess it's set at .2 to combat the front tire turning and wearing the edge down.

And that shop is stupid, as is 125 to align it

understood. I read that wrong. Thank's for the info. I'm going to buy some affordable ball joints from Rockauto since this rig only gets about 2500 miles a year put on it.

How much lift could I go without having to mess with the steering, SYE, and extended drive lines?
