I haven't seen this question asked before, but has anyone run one of the longer (+1" or .5") balljoints in the upper control arm with a stock e body spindle to see if it would help the camber gain? Or would that result in a bind situation. Just wondering if it was an option in place of the F-M-J spindle swap - seen lots of discussion on the spindle which I don't think needs mention here.

or maybe the body is 1" longer and I can't read....



Brad70 effectively does this with the C-body spindles he runs. The ball joints will take the angle. We use them in circle track racing at much higher angles.

The question is what does it do to the roll center. And does the camber gain more advantageous to any negative roll center affects.

The problem that can happen is if the ball joint moves up it can interfere with the inside of he rim when running high backspace over about 5" rims. Of course 18" rims will have a little more room ~ 1/2" in theory depending on rim than 17".
