These are in from the factory I believe. They look offset ie eccentric. What do you guys think? Did they use these in the factory or were these added later?
Are these Eccentric UCA Bushings?

We can't see the bushings. They are pressed into the control arms and those bolts pass through the bushing. Those eccentrics are how you adjust the alignment. Loosen the nuts, the turn the bolt head other side of it to rotate it. In the wheelwell facing the shocks.
Those are the factory alignment cams. How else can you adjust caster and camber.
Thanks guys I am planning to use the Moog K7103 offset bushings in both the front location and rear on the UCA’s.

They might be odd, but I don't think they are eccentric. LOL
Well if THEY are members here they are definitely odd!

be aware of the orientation of the offset bushing when you press them into the upper control arm. You want to maximize the amount of caster you can achieve, we installed them in our 10 sec. 340 Duster with good success. Come to find out one side of the upper A arm mounts on the frame were 1/4 inch ahead of the other side ! My buddy who drove always complained about it being a handful on the top end nearing 130mph. He was right, this solved the problem. good luck
Could you post a pic of the new to the old bushing for us?
Yes!

The passenger side tire is ahead of the drivers side. That’s a designed in feature on all the rear wheel drive mopars. Kim
Ok so in posting the picture I have come across a potential problem. The diameter of the center sleeve is NOT the same. New is 0.575 original 0.500 not sure it’s a big deal or a show stopper?
Is there is some crush that occurs after install.
I think that bushing is from the newer b body's? It's not the right one
There are two part numbers and I don’t know what the difference is. It might be the diameter of the steel sleeve.
K7103 vs k7104. ?
? @oldkimmer @dvw and ideas on this bushing size guys? I am on hold with Moog now. Will post if I get a clear answer…..
They look like offsets. Maybe they want you to reuse the outer steel washers
Ok after searching on the forum here I figured it out. The ferules or washers are what brings it from .57 down to .50! These get pressed in AFTER the bushing install. Also just confirmed it with Moog technician on the phone.
