2004 4x4 Ranger. Neglected the front ball joints, unit bearings etc.(my commuter) Until I jumped a mudslide on the highway in the dark. Took a bit of a front impact but not to bad and got some air. I brought it home and noticed I had pretty extreme negative camber on both sides and the front suspension was pretty bouncy. I did lower ball joints, upper ball joints/control arms, absorbers, unit bearings, inner and outer tie rods on both sides but I still have extremely bad negative camber. I tried a set of the cam washer on one side just to see but still can't get it even in the ball park. Sorry for the story, any help or ideas would be great. :dunno:

Check the distance from the top of the tire to the knuckle by where the upper joint goes in. Those knuckles are easy to bend.
