Camber and Caster
« on: April 25, 2006, 12:32:53 PM »

I read somewhere about moog offset upper control arm bushings to give me more camber. Why do I want more camber?
Also, since A body strut rods are fixed length, how do we adjust caster?
Thanks for replying in advance!!  thank you thank you thank you Grin Grin Grin

The moog bushings are a blessing if you are swapping up to later abody a/arms and such. I couldn't get enough camber with the old/ oe bushings and the stock a arms. went to the moog ones and problem was sovled and the front was acctually alignable then.. duster

Nice, I have later A-arms and new original bushings. I guess I am screwed when I go to get the Dart aligned? Huh

That is great to hear! Now I can sleep tonight! I've been working on this car for 2 years and I am about a month away from driving it. The last BB I drove was 1989! Smiley
