1973 charger top "A" arm bushings

[gunnercharger]

Looking for help, if these offset bushings listed below do not fit a 1973 charger, is there any other offset bushings that will or what can you do to get more castor/camber adjustment, thanks

Camber on a '73 charger

I know this is a very old thread, But I am hoping 74sundance or others will know the answer to this question, I have a 1973 dodge charger that I need more movement to get the castor/chamber adjusted right, I looked at these offset bushings "Moog Front Upper Control Arm Offset Bushing Kit 1960-1976 Dodge/Plymouth Car" that 74sundance listed here, but when you look at the model and years that Moog list under VEHICLE FITMENT it says that they only fit a charger or road runner up to 1972, I talked to Moog online and they say these are not listed for the 1973-1974 charger/road runner models, So my question is, has anyone used these offset bushings by Moog in a 1973-1974 charger/road runner? Thanks for any help

Camber on 73 and up is adjusted by "simply" sliding the UCA outward at the top, after loosening the large retaining nuts going through the "dogbone" between the bushings.
There's a fair amount of movement possible. Much more than the 72 and down cams provide (hence the need for those aftermarket offset bushings).
This is possibly why they changed the design so radically.

Caster is adjusted by the relative positions of the front and rear retaining studs/bolts in their respective "slot".

Note- it's not super easy to gauge where they were set and where you've moved them to. I really wish the factory would have made the large ends of the "bone" flat on the sides.

Yes, I know how to adjust for camber and castor, I just don't have enough adjustment to get set right, and in this old tread 74sundance makes it sound like these offset bushings do work in a 1973-1974 charger model

Collision damage?

The offset bushings fit on the relatively small cam bolts.

The 73 and up dog bone is MUCH larger in diameter.

No Collision damage, the K frame was changed from a small block k frame to a big block K frame from a 1973 BB charger

OK, so you're saying the offset bushings will not work on a 1973 due to the dog bone diameter is bigger, so is there any other way to get more adjustment?

Theoretically, the K frames should have the same measurements other than the motor mount locations, and changing it shouldn't effect alignment adjustment geometry.

Thats what i was told and i don,t think it has anything to do with this problem i am having
