My wranglers left side front camber reading is -1.4,supposed to be -.09 with a range of .4. Other side is normal at -0.8
I need to know how bad this is going to affect the inside tire wear?
All other specs are within range.
Should I worry about replacing that side axle/tube which seems to be slightly bent. Thanks
Nope, ball joints tight. the axle tube is bent up slightly at end causing top of wheel to be off by said degrees.
Here's L.W. (Bill)again with his absolutely, know better than anyone, without a doubt, you're an idiot, armchair diagnosis. How does he do it?
If you are really concerned about it, you could have the axle straightened (best fix) or you could install an offset ball joint to correct the camber (band-aid solution):
I'd be more concerned about interior axle damage than tire wear.

No Bill it's the " You have a badly worn ball joint. A lot of us just drive it, like it's not going any place like when the Libby's joint fails and the wheel falls off:" know it all bull-s*it responses that get me every time. How the f... do you know he's got a badly worn ball joint? I think it's helpfull in the newsgroup when people suggest possible problems and possible solutions, but I think it's ignorant and arrogant when people like you get on and give somebody, that may not have much knowledge or experience and is relying on this group for some sound advise and information, some absolute affirmative about what there problem is with no basis in fact.
No Bill,
Geez................chill out. This is a group of individuals - read & reply to what ever you enjoy.........if you don't like something - reply in a civilized manor or ignore it. Flying off the handle like this is not healthy for you & is not a contribution to the group.
Forgot...........nobody mentioned, yet, that Caster is not a tire wearing angle - it is a directional angle. Tire wear would be from Toe or Camber
The OP stated CAMBER... nobody said anything about caster.

That hasn't been disproven...yet..
All right Ladies, enough . . .
