Several issues are extreme shake while braking and the alignment is off while driving. steering wheel needs to be turned left to drive straight. Looking at the lower Ball Joint I noticed the driver side castle nut was much closer to the brake dust cover than the passenger side castle nut on the lower ball joint stud. so i changed the driver side lower ball joint and while the ball joint was bad i have the same issue that the ball joint studs are not equally spaced from the brake dust cover.
The shaking could be from warped rotors but it did improve drastically with a new ball joint.
I am curious what would cause the difference in spacing of the lower ball joints? bad spring, shock ect. also i measured from the fender to the floor on each side, passenger side measured 33.5" and the driver side measured 33". i hope the pictures attached help with what I am trying to explain.
thanks for any input and if you need any more info just let me know. thanks
