Hey Aaron, @yeahmag , once upon a time you asked me about the monoball. Now I am ready for that conversation. I have resently order the new front suspension from Pelican and I am curious about holding the top of the strut on place. I know you have experience in just that I want to know what you have learned. I have seen stuff from$200 to over $800 and just like you I have no budget.
Aren't you Team Underfunded???
I surely don't want to spend the $800 of I can just make up a bushing to hold the top of the shock in place.
Thanks in advance.
Joe

Thanks Aaron, nice pic it looks like you've got the wheel standing up as much as possible. I was thinking about filing the holes on the inboard side to stand them up a little more.

Typically what you will find is the side of the camber plate will hit the body first (they are usually offset on the plate to help). I can get about 2.5 degrees negative camber on the front with offset ball joints. I'm already working on a new set of front struts that will have more static negative camber in them... That's the way to go and costs $0 if you can do it yourself.
