How do you check for correct camber? I remember seeing a pic of a fellow who had done a 44 front on his CJ and the camber was obviously off. I hope to do a 44 front for my CJ one day.

With SHIM's of course :hahaha:

Just kidding, I want to learn how to shorten an axle too so I will watching this thread too :rofl:
If you're planning on using the stock Jeep knuckles, then you can only correct camber with shims on axles that have the disc brake caliper bolted to the spindles. For these, you can get quite a bit of correction using those shims and offset ball joints. But for later Jeeps that have the calipers bolted to the knuckles, you have only 1 1/2 degrees of adjustment through the use of offset ball joints. You cannot use shims on these because it would missalign the rotors with the calipers. So my concern is getting the C's set at the proper camber angle while you're putting everything together.

Hey 243, what happened to that great avatar you had?:laugh:
