Hello all...I have recently become a new member of this site,even though I hate typing..I had to respond to this particular subject. In June 05' I purchased a new 2005 Jeep Liberty Limited 4x4. By August I had a 2.5" lift installed. My mechanic had a very difficult time adjusting the "camber". I suggested he call the company where I purchased the lift(Rocky Road). My mechanic called me & said they were a_ _holes!! I was surprised at Rocky Road's neglect to offer assistance after I purchased quite an expensive lift. At this point the alignment/camber was so-so.
I visit a repair shop in town, the guy does exactly what you've decribed in your post! Diagnosis: bad lower ball joint. Take a trip to my Jeep dealer(hav a couple friends there), tell them the issue. At the end of the day "Shawn" tells me: "Its not the ball joint,It's because of your suspension lift. We can't do anything about it, you've altered the vehicle & voided the warranty". So much for friends. I've decided that the mechanics @ this dealership are idiots!!
I suddenly recall I also have friend that's a service writer @ Dodge. Explained the whole story to her & the owner, they said they will cover the ball joints(if indeed the prob)under warranty & give me a rental car(ew..I'm driving a neon..lol). It's Tuesday 1/31 @ 12:53pm est. Wish me luck on the repair!!! I will write back soon. Sorry for the loooong post too!
If you are still having issues with your alignment, you can try to contact JeepinAl and see if his upper control arms will fix that issue. I people that are using them, but they have the Frankenlift, but this still might solve that issue.
