I have searched and read on this and I would just like to verify a few things.
I assume from what I have read that wear indicators are the 3/8" to 1/2" round projection that sticks out of the bottom of the ball joint and if it sticks out (down from the flat bottom part of the ball joint) 1mm or more then they are o.k. Is this correct? Additionally, as the ball joints wear, this projection starts to receed up into the hole at the bottom of the ball joint. Is this correct?
I am still getting cupping on the insides of my tires (and the noise seems to be getting worse) and if my assumptions are correct, then the only things I can think of that would cause this are negative camber or wheel bearings. Can negative camber be adjusted out on stock strut mounts?
I will try to check this out tonite.
Thanks for any input.
