    upper ball-joint flip

    DO NOT do an upper ball joint flip if you are rebuilding your stock suspension... yes, it will help CV axle angel a little bit and it will be a better angle for the ball-joint its self, but it will move your camber WAY out and mess with your caster.... i just did mine and had to do it all over...
