I had to have offset ball joints for my truck. No one else that I have talked to ever had to have offset joints. I guess mine is just a freak of nature.

Im pretty sure they try and get your camber closer to specs

From what i have read they will give you positive or negative caster depending on what you need.

since camber and caster are not adjustable on our trucks they make offset ball joints so that you can get camber and caster back in spec. they also come with a templet that tells you were to install them since there pressed in so you can do it correctly.
but if it's really out of wack you probily have a bent axle tube like I do

overall caster is adjustable. per wheel caster is not (on the SFA trucks that is)
