A arm problem solver eccentric bushing
« on: May 15, 2008, 07:01:24 PM »

I ordered this bushing kit for my 72 dart (moog#) K7103 . When i got it the bushing they looked like the stock set of bushing i just put in the A  arms. Question , is the bushing supposed to be made offset or is it the bolts with the eccentric lob have more offset made in it .If so where can i get them. The guy at the parts store had no idear what i was talking about.  thanks

Isn't it just the opposite?The lower you go the farther the top of the wheel will tip in which is negative camber........or the lower you go the more the a arms move up which changes the angles of the a arms making the wheels tip out at the top?Huh On my truck moving the a arms down or raising the truck gave me all kinds of positive camber.I don't know how it works for our cars though!

James, Thats what i thought,the ones they got me were standard bushings.No offset.   The lower you put the car the more positive camber you need because the top of the tires lean in towards the engine compartment . Thanks guys Joe

A place called "Rare Parts", in Stockton, CA buys up all of Moog's obsolite inventory. They may have what you are looking for.
