^ E46ix alignment specs.

The e36 ball joint end up working fine.

after examining the other side ball joint before removing it seems like the OE offset ball joints are used to reduce caster.

Using the e36 ball-joint made it gain more caster. I wont know for sure till i throw it on the alignment machine.

but so far, the e36 ball joints are installed, waiting to do the tie rods and a few more maintenance items before going in for an alignment.
