it adjusts the camber/caster when adding longer coils or a spacers, highly needed.

They cost around 80 with tax and usually available at napa. You need them or your tire will get trashed quick.

On the cluster did you remove the speedo cable?

w/ all the screws out, you should be able to pull it enough to get your hand to the back of it... IF not.... find where the speedo cable comes up from the floor/firewall to the dash and try to get some slack in it.

Yeah, you gotta get the speedo cable out or you can't pull the cluster out more than about 1/8". Reach up under the dash, find the cluster and the cable, then find the little tab on the cable collar and push it down while pulling back.

As to your lack of lights, did you check the fuse? Sometimes when one of those bulbs burns out the damaged filament will fall just so that it lays and shorts the whole circuit and blows the fuse.
