I'd always thought you install them to get the most positive caster then on a recent thread someone said to use only (1) of the offset ones per side . Anybody have any info on that why you wouldn't want to kick the UBJ rearward as much as possible

Ok guess my confusion stemmed from the need to buy extra camber bushings to use in an "off label" way to get extra caster. So to clarify if i buy these extra camber bushings http://www.billrolikenterprises.com/proddetail.asp?prod=2071204-PXCi can install the offsets like in the photo from autoxcuda in this thread and this will push the upper ball joint rearward providing extra caster. Is this what i want to do? https://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/show...rue#Post6541852When I am done installing the front end and take it is to be aligned what do i tell the mechanic? I assume that the specs in the book for the car are out the window so do you request something special in regards to the caster (i.e., maximize positive caster) and camber? Is there a table floating around for desired alignment specs for the radial tire era that differs form the original MOPAR specs? Thanks in advance i appreciate the help and now is the time to find this info out and plan before i order my front end parts.

What I tell the alignment guy is the following specs: 1/2 degree NEG camber, 2+ degrees of POS caster, not to exceed 3.5 degrees and 1/8" of toe IN. In a stock height A body that has never been wrecked, the Moog K7103 offset bushings can get you there. It may be possible without the offset bushings, but if you have to replace them anyway, its the better idea.
