First, it would have been a good idea to explain to everyone what vehicle you are talking about...also describing what you are trying to do with the cam/caster adjusters? When I replaced the ball joints on my 99 Ranger 4x4, they went in one way and came out one way, atleast on mine. The only reason I had to get an alignment was because I changed the tie rod ends. Explain what you're talking about, i'm sure we can help:icon_thumby:

O crap sorry i gave my 2000 4x a t-crank a month or so ago and just decided to bring it in for an alignment last week, they found a bad ball joint and they said I need a camber caster kit. so this weekend I will be doing ball joints tie rods that just started squeeking and the camber caster kit. my greatest question is if this kit is all I need, and exactly where do they do or will it be obvious when i take apart the upper control arm? Thank you

Yes you will need 4. All the kits i've ever gotten at work came with the bolts and the eccentrics and you reuse the stock nuts. They replace the upper control arm bolts and washers. There will be a groove on each side of the mount on the frame that the upper control arms goes in that the eccentrics 'ride' in, thus when turning them they move the upper control arm in/out.
