Last week my passenger side lower ball joint came off while i was taking a turn and my lower ball joint broke and i had to fix this in the middle of the street. this all could have been avoided had i put the dam COTTER pin in the nut.

Anyways I just fixed both lower ball joints today. ever since then my steer has been really sloppy especially taking right turns but overall the steering is just really loose i can tell a big diffeence.

Are there some things you can tell me to change or fix to get my steering back to normal? I want my tight steering back and dont want to risk braking something again :cry:

Its a manual rack if that helps...

Well it looks like the upper ball joints are shot. So I will have to replace those...

I was going to say, start looking for more damage. Loose steering isnt caused by poor adjustment.

Do you have experience with upper camber kits? I'm about to order the Skunk2 for $173.00, any other you would recommend?

Yes. I recommend the Ingalls units.
