I popped a balljoint 4th of July. Kyle gave me a spare upper balljoint arm and now my tire leans out at the top. It looks like the new arm is longer then the other side. If you look at it upper and lower joints look lined up on the right and not on the left side. Just wondering if there are different length stock front arms.

could it have bent the bottom arm or maybe even the spindle when the balljoint popped out?

No I just had afterburnt weld a new spud in. I'm pretty sure its the upper arm that's the only thing I've changed. I did roll it but I have a purchase of 1/4" plate welded to the lower arm to support the fox air shock.

I have bent the tube that goes into the beam. It will do the same thing as what youve got. Just a thought. Thats where i would look next.
