Yes we are in agreement. All the different diagrams are confusing.

@nitro_rat Well one way to possibly explain the argument that it goes opposite to the diagram you put together (the way I also have it put on) is the following: If the centerline is fixed. If you started with a standard non-offset bushing and pulled the front UCA toward you (out away from the...

This is really hurting my brain. Probably because I don’t know the alignment hardware yet as I haven’t done an alignment yet. If the above diagram show is the front bushings. Front to back then this is how I have it. I used the same argument as you but EVERYONE has said this is incorrect. I...

Thanks everybody for helping me work through this. It was a bit confusing for me and took me a while for me to see the light.

It’s confusing because you have to use the correct frame of reference. The reference should be a fixed center line. The offset is strictly in the upper control arm so moving the control arm away from the centerline would require that the bushing be thinner at the inner point not thicker. Hence...

Yes! That was my mistake. It’s more simple than I thought. I can see it now. I had to change my reference!

Crap I think I maybe wrong. I was thinking of the centerline as if a rod was going through the two holes. But there isn't. It should be thought of as a pin! In that cade I am backwards. I see it now and my mistake. Case 1 is for the driver and case 3 is the passenger side. It’s a simple offset...

Do you agree then with post 44 above?

Maybe this is a simpler take. With the bushing oriented this way in the picture below it will move the arm out. If this is correct than my installation is OK and is my orientation. Do you guys agree with this?

Maybe I should be more clear. Case 1 right passenger side. Case 3 left driver side. Does that make sense?

But wouldn’t that be case 1? I know I may be wrong but I just don’t see nor have I seen any explanation. Looking at the geometry I believe case 1 moves the front of the arm out as you describe. I can’t see how case 3 does anything but move the front in. What am i not seeing?

To increase caster from stock.

Can anyone tell me why this diagram is wrong? This is what I based my assembly on and it’s not inline with the @Vaanth picture above. What am I not seeing/getting here? I think case 1 is correct for passenger side. but vaanth’s diagram is indicating case 3 is correct. Case 2 is stick non...

I agree thats why I said in post 13 I went back into the manual assembly instructions thinking they buried in there and explained the range 50-80 but no it didn’t. Did I miss something in your post that specifically what torque is correct rather than the 50-80 range?

Caliper to spindle.
