Frustrated
Okay...the right front wheel on my 72 Blazer was getting a little wobbly, and a weird tire wear was starting to emerge...sooooooo, I changed the upper and lower ball joints.....and now, the top of the tire is pushed out....like it has worn ball joints.....I torqued the adjuster sleeve to 40 lbs and the upper and lower nuts are tight.....what gives? I rarely offroad.....I havent hit a curb or anything.......any ideas? Did I do something wrong??? Thanks in advance......

Did you get the spindle on straight? Could be the bearings aren't tight. Have you driven it like this? Does the tire move top to bottom(when in the air)? I've seen a truck with a bent spindle, but the top of the tire was pushed in.
