Some say just get the adjustable upper ball joints and some say to get the Toe arm?? what should i do? should i just get the Adjustable INGALLS ball joints. I JUST WANNA KNOW WHAT SHOULD BE THE BEST THING TO DO SO I CAN GET MY CAR ALIGNED AND HAVE MY RIDE DRIVEN SMOOTH. PLZ LET ME KNOW. IM PUTTING ON AND DOING SO WITH MY SUSPENSION RIGHT NOW AS U READ.
ANYTHING WOULD HELP!!

Just drop the lude and then get an alignment at an alignment shop. If something is still outta whack, THEN you need something extra. Otherwise, forget it.

The only thing you need to adjust is toe. Don't need to buy anything extra, just get the alignment.

if you dont want camber ware, you'll need to get camber kits. but, depending on how low you are going and how big your wheels are, you might need the negative camber so your wheels tuck

Find the thread that discusses camber and it's lack of effect on tire wear. Basically, if you get an alignment to correct toe, and your camber isn't way out of spec like with a moderate drop, you shouldn't really see camber wear. Especially if you rotate your tires properly.
