ball Joint Flip

[MrBIGHORN]

Hi everybody, Can i do a ball joint flip on a 93 bighorn and if not what else can be done besides winding up the torsions.

Ball joint flip does nothing in itself to raise an Isuzu. It is done to overcome a design problem with Isuzu suspension that is only apparent when the suspension is raised.
To raise your front suspension 50mm your model can get away without the flip but its still better with it.
Step one - crack the taper on the upper ball joint Undo the bolts and remove joint.
Two - Reposition joint the same way up on the bottom of the A are and reattach bolts and taper
Three - Disconnect one side of the sway bar
Four - Wind up the torsions to the desired hight and check car is level. (its a good idea to spray oil on the adjusters the night before)
Five - reconnect sway bar if desired and have a beer.
Six - get a wheel alignment done at a good tyre shop.

The best part of that workout is having the beer.

Can I just have the beer without doing all that other stuff first, buy the way how do you crank up the bars??

the adjusting nut is about halfway down the car at the end of the torshion bars. its a big 27mm nut if i rember right.

just remember to take the weight off the torsion bar by jacking the chassis up a bit before you adjust, i always wondered why it was so hard to move the bolts!!!
