Camber caster bushing help '84 4X4

[Doug Burgoyne]

Hello all,

1984 4x4 ranger. Added 1.5" coil spacer lift. Left side camber now close to +4.° , right not as bad at around +2°. Also lost couple degrees of caster. Bushing in now are zero° direct center. Want to use moog style double sleeve to dial in, but the ones I'm finding for my Ranger only go to -2.75°...,leaving me a little shy of where I need to be. My ride height is good. I see some 3.2°, 3.5°, and 4° options out there, but for later year Rangers(pinch bolts style?) or earlier 80's F150"s (D35?), etc. Anybody know of bushings that fit D28 castle nut/knuckle lugs style like mine, that give more than -2.75° to get me back in alignment?

I don't know of any, but I haven't looked. Honestly, 1" is about the most you should go on coil spacers with TTB suspension, for that very reason.

With OEM radius arms, you are also greatly limiting wheel travel.

Thanks for reply! Ugh. The spacer washers is just under 1.5" tall, I don't think it actually raised it that much though. Was just trying to get the 4x4 to be level front to back. Still a little higher in back, but stance looks good to me now. Would hate to have to pull things apart to remove some of the washers...but as last resort I'll do that instead of radius arms, etc. This is just a bump around truck for going to the dump, poking around on very mild trails and service roads as far as off road goes. Still, hoping someone else says, "yeah, use these!"

With 1.5" spacers, you should get more than 1.5" lift because the springs/spacers are closer to the pivot point that the wheel.
