In the picture is the driver side bushing. In the picture it is adjusted to the +3.5 degree position. Maybe this angle will help you. And the bushings that I got were $19.46 a piece. After a few days of me cutting the springs, I noticed that when the suspension settled that the tires leaned out more with positive camber than the day that I cut the springs. Hope this helps.

Remember, he has the older style spindles/beams. They changed for 89.

Yes, that is what I'm thinking. I've only seen pics of the older beams, you should get some pics of what it took to install them. That way we could have them for reference.

Yeah, design got better and brakes were improved. The best thing to do, if money allowed, would be to get a set of newer beams and then the spindles and brake assemblies. It would n't be so bad if you were already buying beams, but as a single upgrade it would be kind of costly.

does any1 happen to have the Napa part number for the camber bushings? i dont want to get mixed up since 88 was the last year for my suspension setup, i checked autozone and they dont have them id rather go to napa and buy them rather then ordering from summit or something, im gonna get these before sept. which is when i have inspection along with new front tires, i held out on getting the bushings but here in the next few weeks im gonna get the camber bushings and some new kelly charger tires.
