To get neg camber you want the arm to go in toward the motor.I had a hard time getting my 65 in.I ended up with neg 1 degree caster and about .25 positive camber.That was with the offset bushings.It was at 6 degrees neg before I put the offsets in.That and I did the alingment 3 times my self so I know its right as it can be.It manual steering and handles good where its at.Rocky

Right, so that is why I was thinking if I turn the arrow on the bushing toward the frame it would move the whole arm in a little, I just don't know if that would completely grenade my caster. Which direction did you install the bushings?

You'd want both sides to end up being the same camber, zero or a skosh neg. With that making the caster different on the one side not sure how it would handle & not sure (with the bushings) if that side can be manipulated to get the caster and the camber equal from side to side with the one side being bent.

we brought the left side in to match the final reading on the right side, I was just not happy about the final result. The left side will let us do anything with it, I sure wish the right side was the same.

I'm thinking the bushings may need to come out & go back in several times to get the right combo so the caster is as close as it can be on each side & close enough for good handling but still keeping the camber dead on (zero or slightly neg) and equal side to side with the camber being by far the most critical.
