Re: Front end

["Ollie" <satellite1965@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good question MO.
Let me start with a bit of definitions. When the top of the tires are 
leaning in this is negative camber and require positive adjustment to 
straighten them up. If the opposite, the tires leaning out this is positive 
camber and you need negative adjustment to straighten them up.
When you raise the front end height the tires tend to lean in, which require 
more positive adjustment. If you re-spring the rear end and it rides higher, 
you will have to crank up the front end to compensate
which will create a need for more positive adjustment.
Now I will tell you what happened to MS Cruiser, my 65 Satellite. I replaced 
all the bushings with stock bushings. When it came alignment time she could 
not be aligned properly. The passenger side was great but the drivers side 
did not have enough positive adjustment and I had to pull the upper A frame 
again and replace the bushings with offsets and she aligned perfect.
All that said MO, I guess you will not know for sure until you go to the 
front end shop.

On a car that you have never drivin, or is already dis-assenled, How
can you tell if it needs the offset bushings?. Are they needed if the
car is raised or lowered from stock hright...................MO
