Yes, it's supported by jack stands on the frame. I looked at another ball joint and realized they pivot hence the name ball joint I should have known that. That would make since as to why it's cocked like that but now I'm wondering if it's seized in that position. When I turn the steering wheel no matter the position it's in it stays cocked at an angle.Did you have the jeep jacked up and supported by the frame when you took the picture? It appears that the suspension on the passenger side is just drooped and the drag link is rotated on the ball joint making it look like that.
It would stay at that angle as long as the axle is drooped on that side. Put it on the ground, then look at it. As Jerry said...perfectly normal.Yes, it's supported by jack stands on the frame.
