If you run some negative camber you get to the limit of the upper ball joint
movement.
I did fit a 8mm rubber on the bumpers to avoid stressing the ball joint.

Betreff: [Fot] TR3 to TR4A ball joint issue

Hello all,
I've noticed after installing TR4A upper control arms and ball joints on my
TR3, that the suspension no longer rests on the bumpers below the spring
pan. The ball joints do not allow full extension. I purchased the ball
joints from The Roadster Factory. I'm wondering if another suppliers ball
joints might allow more movement. It sure doesn't seem good to me that the
suspension at full extension should rest against the ball joint. I guess
that a taller bumper could be used. Any tips or info on this matter would be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave H.
