Alignment Cam Bolts

[chtampa]

My Charger has stock UCAs and the offset bushings. I have 4 1/2 degrees of caster and .75 degrees of NEGative camber.

Are you happy with that?

Oh yeah! The car tracks straight and the wheel returns to center nicely. The Firm Feel steering box still has the on center slop but I can't blame them...They do the best they can with a 60 year old design!

I am ordering the offset bushings. Do I replace all four on the car or just the front on each side?

Do all four. Do NOT follow the instructions as directed in the box! Install them as directed below.

Can you be more specific as to why?

To maximize the improvement in caster you want to install the front bushings with the arrow pointing to the center of the car to move the front of the a-arm out. At the rear bushing you want to install it with the arrow pointing out which moves the rear of the a-arm in. The net effect of all of this is a shift of the ball joint to the rear which will give you more caster.

I forget what the instructions on the box say exactly but I think they are written more to address camber and basically tell you that depending on if you need more or less camber, the arrow needs to install both to go to the inside or the outside respectively.
