Upper ball joint removal on 2011 AWD?
 
Background on my project, it's a 2011 GMC Savanna AWD that I cut the body off and placed a 1969 c10 on. The frame has been fabricated to fit the '69 body and lowered with a c notch in the rear and drop spindles with djm lowering control arms. My question is I have too much + camber with is normally the other way around with a lowered front end. I did press in some new camber bushings in the upper control arms, but backwards for more - camber. This helped but I'm still slightly on the positive side. Question is can the upper ball joint be pressed out? I have seen a Moog offset upper ball joint that I could turn and give me the needed camber but most companies seem to only sell the complete upper arm. Thank you, Ben.

Yes, you can replace the ball joints on the upper control arm.

Moog K100116? AC Delco also offers an offset ball joint. ACD 45K4032.

Perfect. The Moog K100116 is what I'm looking at purchasing, thank you.
