I need more positive caster, and they don't make offset bushings for these. I found these specs for the standard bushings. No drawing showing what length C, D, or E are, but they are the same in both. You think .040" is too much to machine from the control arms to get offset bushings to fit? Perhaps I could weld some reinforcement around the hole. What do you think?

Moog K325 Dodge 880 bushings
Inner Diameter 0.50"
Outer Diameter 1.13"
Length C 1.88"
Length D 1.26"
Length E 0.37"


Moog K408 regular A, B, and E body bushings
Inner Diameter 0.50"
Outer Diameter 1.17"
Length C 1.88"
Length D 1.26"
Length E 0.37"

Moog K7103 offset A, B, and E body bushings
Inner Diameter 0.51"
Outer Diameter 1.17"
Length C 1.70"
Length D 1.26"
Length E 0.28"

I ain't eyeballed an UCA flanged hole where the bushing goes for a grasp on the thickness available but a .020" radial increase in the hole ID doesn't seem out of line. You'd wanna heat the hole and freeze the bushing for that gain which would be a few tho & would lock em in tight when done. EDIT might be better to take it off of the bushings (or half and half). I'd eyeball their thicknesses then you can make an informed decision
