Offset UCA bushings - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

I had one last run of Offset Upper Control Arm bushings made. I've got about 7 sets--and when they are gone, they are gone. It's time for them to leave my shelf. As such I'm dropping the price by 20% to $127.20 a set. And for that price, I'll ship them as well.

For those that don't know about these, here's is what they are about:

You get a complete set of 4 upper contorl arm bushings machined from Delrin. The come with machined internal sleeves to insure proper fit in the mounting bracket. The hole is offset the maximum amount possible in order to gain negative camber, or if you have a car that has too much (like a lowered street car) allows you to remove some and get the alignment back to more normal settings. This being a road-race and autox site, we use them for the negative camber they add.

Instructions are included, and the perk of running these is that they are completely legal for SCCA autocross. There are those that it doesn't matter to, but running GM arms with Offset bushings results in less weight than aftermarket adjustable arms, and the GM arms fit around the shock tower properly at full suspension compression. I haven't seen an aftermarket arm that does that, which usually results in a bent ball joint mounting plate.

You should put them in as specified to not screw up the geometry. If you want to back off the amount of camber you need, you do so on the lower arm. That's your adjustment, the bushings simply allow the range to change. They are going out of production because there isn't much of market for them anymore. Most everyone who needs for racing has them already (unless they want spares....).
