Offset upper control arm crossbar for lowered trucks?
Hello all,
I am working on thinking about a much needed front end rebuild. Have a 5" drop. 2 inch springs and 3 inch spindles. Rockauto has about the best prices I have found for Moog. I can for 253.00 or so get all upper/lower Ball Joints and bushings. (not incl steering- thats for another time ( ** 1. I think for the difference of and additional 100.00 or so for Moog vs any of the Service grade or lower cost versions is worth the peace of mind. Do you? (they have mevotech, mcquay norris, and raybestos service grade all considerably cheaper) 2. I included upper control arm offset cross shafts with bushings for the upper control arms. (not much more expensive than just the bushings at about 40.00 each ) - MOOG Part # K6184 http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/rafr...1-K6184-684559 ** My question is- please double check my logic - has anyone used these to help lessen/control the amount of shims needed to align the front and get the camber right? My truck uses over an inch of shims to get the tire standing up straight. And I have even had the shims fall out before, even. My research indicates that these offset shafts give about 1 and 1/4 degree extra positive camber. Would these help? Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this. |
