I have a 2021 sahara that has around -1.7 degrees camber on the passenger side. I have searched high and low on the internet trying to find an offset ball joint for this year model and have only found them for up to the 18 models. does anyone know if they make one for the newer models? The only thing I have been able to find are the sleeves that only go up to +1.25 degrees any help is appreciated.

You might want to consider adjustable lower control arms.

Any idea why the camber is off on that side? Something happen, something get bent?

Those are caster and/or driveline pinion angle cams . You need a camber eccentric but I doubt you find one with enough adjustment . the C or tube or something is bent or worn out. You could try the 1.25 degree one and see where it takes you . Negative camber is not that hateful to a point.

Camber problem usually means a broken FAD housing. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The reason you can’t find any cam sleeves with more offset is because of axle housing interference…you can only manipulate the ball joint so much….. if you need more offset, then you need to check for bent axle or bad ball joints…..

Something must be bent somewhere. I have the same issue. Wheeled too hard and have really bad negative camber on both sides now. It's put my Jeep out of commission for 4 months so far until I can replace the axle.

If a solid axle Jeep has a camber issue, and if worn ball joints have been ruled out, then it must have a bent axle housing or knuckle. I don’t recommending compensating with an offset ball joint. That will also mess up caster on that one side.

The sleeve won't make your alignment perfect, but they should get you within spec. (-1.7+1.25= -0.45)

My camber is -.7 on the left side and in spec. I bought a sleeve to install the next time I'm working on the front end.
