"Just set up the other side like that TJ. Super high negative camber is the way to, just look at the ricers, they have it dialed in!
On a serious note though looks like a fatigue failure which is scary because they either used something that's way smaller than it needs to be or just didn't bother heat treating the ball stud. Wouldn't be surprised to see the OEM one made in china too, hopefully by someone better though.
It's up to you what you want to do with it but if they have ball studs failing by fatigue then they probably have a recall on their hands. That's a pretty serious safety issue probably tied to non-conforming product. A call to the NHTSA could get the ball rolling and potentially save someone else from a bad wreck. Depending on policy they may cover the cost of other broken parts as well."
Tons of internet searching about the issue and the most common issue seems to be the Lower ball Joint failing. Some UBJ issues on the net but not as common. Appears that several people have tried to sue Toyota for the issue without success and Toyota did issue a recall for the LBJ but not upper. So that leaves me with a few options, Sell it and buy a Jeep, SAS it, or Buy a Uniball upper A-Arm kit. None of which appeal to me since it's not my primary wheeling rig, but that safety thing will be ever present in the back of my mind until I figure something out. Anyone have a lifted Jeep for cheap!
