ball joint help

[tiger4life]

I need some help. My team and I are building a sae baja car. We're using 2007 Polaris Predator ball joints. They're too short to have proper camber and thread left through the mount. Anyone know of a ball joint assembly that has the same thread as the Polaris ones but are longer. We need like a .3-.5 of an inch.

Try VW beetle tie rods. I don't know if they'll fit polaris, but the taper is perfect for the 04 honda trx450 knuckle. The threaded end is 14mm.

Welcome to the site! Could you post a picture of your current setup? That would help me better understand what exactly the issue is. There is not enough thread to go through the a-arm mount or the spindle mount? And how does camber affect that?

Another option might be to weld on a plug extension to the a-arm, and drill out the current one a little to allow the thread to pass through. Just make sure you have enough threads to grab the ball joint.
