Caster/camber bushings

[Kyle M.]

I was just wondering if anyone knew what bushing I should buy to get my truck back into spec. Napa is the place of choice, but they have a lot of options of degree of offset, just not sure what to buy. 4" lift in the truck...thanks

BTW, I did search it and couldn't find anything useful...thanks again

If you're doing the alignment yourself, always get the 2-piece adjustable bushings. I forget Napa's pt#, but I know they do carry them (probably be around $25-$30 a piece).

Ok, I'll look.

Quick question, what does the offset degree mean? It that how far the bushing leans the ball joint? They all look to have the same eccentric, just not quite understanding and degree of offset.

The degree of the bushing is the amount of change that will occur at the wheel (a 2° bushing will offset the camber (or caster) at the wheel by 2 degrees). Where it gets confusing though is when the bushing is used for a correction of BOTH camber and caster. Then it will be something a bit less than 2° for each one.

The fully adjustable bushings have charts you can use to change one setting without affecting the other (camber or caster). This makes them real easy for a DIY'er to use.
