i know a ball joint can affect camber but i dont see how it affects toe, my tie rod end boots are fine so i dont think its the tie rod if it isnt the ball joint then the control arm is bent he said and there is evidence of a passenger side accident up front so its a possibility. but i just wanna make sure an adjustable ball joint to fix camber is the way to go and where to get one because i cant find one. he fixed driver side camber with stock ball joint if that changes anything

But my boots look fine so I don't see why it would be a tie rod end there is a suspicion that my control arm is bent but he "can't figure that out until he fixes the camber" I just don't get why he says he needs to fix camber to fix toe I can understand if my ball joint is bad but that shouldn't affect my toe especially of my tie bar adjustment nut is cranked all the way in

there's no adjustable ball joints for a 2004...
control arms are not expensive.
