@MoparDave , just ordered the offset bushings and lower bushings from Roseville.
Thanks all , yes ,@redgum78 ,  I think I read somewhere that the instructions for the orientation can be confusing .

This should help.

I like Wild's description, you are moving the ball joint rearward. You have to think twice if you follow the instruction sheet.

That's why I typed it the way I did... The problem with the magazine article is while they are showing the ball joint moving rearward many guys think the arrows they show indicate the way the arrows on the bushings point... They don't & if you install the bushings that way you wind up with less caster than you started with.....

It's very confusing the way they wrote it up.

I have Moog off set bushings installed like 1 Wild R/T states. After installing new LCA bushings and new strut rod bushings my LF bolts are fully out in front, full in rear and got -6* camber +4* castor. RF bolt slightly in from full out in front and full in on the rear bolt and got -5* camber +4.8* castor.

I was trying to remember why I thought the instructions were confusing , and after reading all the comments remember as said it is the article arrows are not the way the bushing arrows go.
I even forget that I forget.
Thank you.
