Yeah u just need front toe adjustment. I don't think a bad ball joint would cause outer wear

Damn those look great.

Side note. Only the front of our cars need alignment right? For the rear it's pretty much just adjusting the panhard bar?

Of course you cant adjust the SOLID rear axle


The only way you can do any adjusting is to put on all adjustable parts.

Yeah only the front. Unless the caster is off if the whole diff would move for some reason. Front we might need a camber kit to adjust camber but toe is easly adjusted, but not be naked eye. U can do it yourself with a measuring tape
